Hi,
I've only just 'discovered' this on Channel 81 Freeview.
The trouble is, now I can't stop watching the old films!
For any of you Cliff Richard fans, Expresso Bongo is on next Saturday night.
Kind regards
Dave
I always keep my eye on for a really old film Kidnapped with the words in it saying 'you got too much fat on yer babby' but have never seen it come up. One day I hope.
Well, from my recollection Sybil Fawlty may have suffered somewhat but the suffering she inflicted on Basil was far worse! And what about the pasting she dished out to that old bodger O'Reily.In the past 2 to 3 weeks we have had a couple of old films on Channel 81 where one of the stars is still alive today. "We'll meet again" was made in 1943 and the star was of course Vera Lynn, now aged 101. Also noticed in Hobson's Choice, made in 1953-4, that one of the younger daughters, Vicky Hobson, was played by Prunella Scales. She was born in 1932, now aged 86, and is most famous for her role as the suffering wife in Fawlty Towers. Dave.

And so say all of us, my son's father in law has the most severe form, in eighteen months his deterioration has been frightening.It is a distressing thing; more so for those who have to cope with someone who has any form of dementia. It is something I witness most days - not of a personal nature, but in people I know or visit. Indeed, hopefully some treatment may be found, the sooner, the better.
My Doctor says, that I have a very contagious, fatal disease that there is no cure for. Its called "OLD AGE" So look out you youngsters.
There’s an educational programme that keeps popping up on Talking Pictures named “The Midlands in the 1960s”. It contains many scenes of Birmingham. Look out for it as I’m sure it will be repeated. Viv.
