I used to have nightmares involving The Mysterons-those lights moving around the room, spooky!

For Kids:

Bod, Pure genius.

Mr Ben

Take Hart.

Camblewick Green/Chigley/Trumpton.

Dungeons & Dragons (did it ever end?)

Hong Kong Fuey


For big kids:

The Invaders (did this ever end?). "michael vincent, a man, too weary to continue his journey pulls into a deserted diner?'

The Prisoner (not the rubbish remake, the original).

Anything by Lew Grade (Man in a suitcase, The Persuaders etc)

Randal & Hopkirk Deceased (the original).

Ever decreasing circles

The World At War

Was bored the other evening and aimlessly flicking through channels came across The Sweeney on ITV4. Apparently it was the first ever episode.


John Bindon and Alan Lake both playing villians. (Life immitating art or art immitating life?).


Also Brian Blessed and "Dot Cotton" in early T.V.roles.


But the most fascinating bit about watching this was outside location shots of E.D., particularly DHFC old stadium.


Made in 1974.

The music always reminds me of wandering around carnaby street thinking you were really part of the whole swinging London thing, then jumping the night bus home to Camberwell Green and realising that most of 60's London was very much removed from the media hyped image of the era. We still had gas lamps and an outside toilet on meeting house lane!

    • Well worth a read   https://manchestermill.co.uk/the-men-who-raised-the-flags/
    • If it was limited to a couple of days a year, so we all knew, that would be fine. In the last few years (and it is a recent thing) you get random fireworks going off any time after dusk for half the year. It does more than cause problems for pets and wildlife- it can mean lasting damage and massive expense and hassle for pet owners. All because some get a buzz out of loud bangs.
    • Ohh dear.  Fireworks can be great fun.  Where I used to live the kids would have firework wars/games.  Watching them was more enjoyable than watching  TV. (Which you could hardly hear due to the pops and bangs).  It's not like anyone/anything could stop them. I would still prefer organised public displays that are affordable.   And I agree that fireworks cause problems for wild life, pets and people.   It seems to be one of those things that just happens so we have to put up with it.  But it is still not as problematic here as in other areas in London - that's for sure.
    • I made sure to set off a few today just to rile you guys up 😇😂 Always looking for something to criticise
