I've been waiting for so long for this to come out on DVD , so delighted its been released, all 68 episodes, but I must ration myself. Watched five already in two days. Brilliant! This one particularly is a master class of comedy, THE END OF THE WORLD IS NIGH!

A great comic, appeared in six wonderful series for the BBC, here with Peter Capaldi , in the Time Tunnel spoof " Drunk in Time"

This 70's BBC series passed me by, too young, but bought the DVD box set. It's pretty good , typical 70's Brit drama with plenty of recognisable actors, and starring Francis Matthews , the voice of Captain Scarlet as Paul Temple author and detective. The stories are well written if a little...

Plato has taught Socrates to become a top lawyer and has generously waived his fee, for now. Socrates will pay the tuition fee when he wins his first case. Months pass and Socrates has not been engaged in any cases. Plato anxious for his fee, sues Socrates arguing that if the court decides for...

The Lord Plato is guarding a bridge over a river when Socrates appears. Socrates begs to be allowed passage. Plato bellows " If the next thing you say is true I will allow passage, but if the next thing you say is false I will throw you in the water" Socrates being clever says; " You will throw...

Okay, not a quiz, but a puzzle. You'd be amazed how many people will fall for this nonsense, it relies on the teller putting the right emphasis in the right places. Two guys go into a restaurant for a meal, at the end the waiter gives them the bill, which is £30. Unfortunately the restaurant...

Ultravox! and Ultravox two different groups really. John Foxx the original singer of Ultravox! ( with an exclamation mark), lead a rather wonderful rock/synth band , Midge Ure brought recognition and success with pop new wave stuff. Both very enjoyable.

Or OMD for short of course. Very much a synth/new romantic band. There's no other band of this type I'd contemplate listening to, but I've always liked this group. All their albums are top notch, very catchy tunes and a good variety of lyrics . New album due out soon .

Any fans of this great game? There's a lot of interesting changes possibly coming, lots of questions are being asked, an exciting time for the sport. Will Test matches be reduced from five to four days? I hope not , it's a bad idea, and I can't see it working on the Sub Continent. You'd have...

Loved this show, with Shaun Cassidy, Parker Stevenson and Pamela Sue Martin as teenage sleuths. The first series each episode was either a Drew mystery or a Hardy Boys one, Drew and the Hardys never met. Second series was basically The Hardy Boys, with Nancy appearing with them in a number of...

Recently finished watching this for the first time. What an excellent series! Created by Shaun Cassidy, it's bizarre compelling and downright scary as well. The Plot; Sherriff Lucas Buck outwardly a charming law enforcer in the town of Trinity but in reality a rapist and murderer who has the...

Some children's shows when viewed in adult life yield a deeper understanding of the writer's talent and hidden depth, this though is not one of those shows. This is just childish fun written by Bob Block who did Rentaghost, and stars Roy Barrowclough sadly deceased. It's fun , I like it , a few...

Billy McKenzie's suicide, what a tragedy!! A talented song writer and singer. What a contribution he could have made.

One of the great BBC comedies of all time. " Mmmm Betty , why haven't we been mentioned before? No one likes me Betty" " Of course they do Frank. They'll be plenty of people saying they like you" " Oh mmm, nice"

The group formed by Mick Jones post- Clash. A fusion of Clash style rock with dance and ethnic influence with plenty of reggae beats. Plenty of voice sampling , ahead of their time perhaps.

David Weiss a.k.a. David Was and Don Fagenson a.k.a. Don Was had a big hit of course with Walk The Dinosaur, but on their albums you'll find some really weird stuff . Very strange and bizarre such as this 50's style croon with Mel Torme.

A band of great longevity, been having hits every decade since the 70's. It may be not cool to say this but I prefer the post Hugh Cornwell material, though I enjoy all their work. This track from the suite xvi album typical late Stranglers.

Got to admit a soft spot for these types of shows. Candid Camera, Trigger Happy TV et al.

Yeah, why not?! Loved these guys in their heyday. Their videos were always great, a central part of their appeal, but some very good tracks as well.

This is a group that deserved stardom NO!! MEGA STARDOM, so many great tracks, so little reward.
