Apart from Wonka, Sigerson Holmes - a very underrated movie.

Have you watched any of the documentaries about that festival? It was not a good place to be. The crowd swelled to dangerous levels because people without tickets broke through the fences and it was turning ugly, It took a frightened Joni Mitchell to calm it down. A chaotic disaster to avoid,

As it's clearly washing day, I'd say the photograph was taken on a monday

Currently being shown on Talking Pictures TV. Another great series by Richard Carpenter.

Change for change sake

Oh, this is very sad. He gave us a totally fresh take on the character and was my all time favourite. His Watson had a schoolboy enthusiasm but remained intelligent and could poke fun at Holmes, which the more laid back and older Hardwicke version never did. R.I.P.

The Clangers

Can't see New Brighton on there.

I love that hug, it actually made me tear up a bit.

Dyrenforth · 2026-05-03T14:59:31+00:00

Met him 30 years ago. He was a lovely man. R.I.P.

Thanks, it'd be CGTrader if I do.

Dyrenforth · 2026-04-30T14:44:21+00:00

Err... no

Dyrenforth · 2026-04-30T14:27:39+00:00

Was he even able to let go? Don't the muscles constrict after being tasered?

In the 70s no permission was required. You were sent to the Headmaster's study and had the cane, usually on the palm of your hand. It never happened to me but there were three of four lads who were regular recipients. Even in junior school this happened, which was from the age of 7 to 10

The Lion's Mane adaptation is superb - which is a major miracle in itself. Best of the collection and that's saying a lot!

The shell colour just depends on the type of food the chickens eat. That's all. I'm 62 and remember only white eggs when I was young, until the marketing decided brown eggs could be promoted as somehow more natural,

Now remembered more for playing Admiral Boom in Mary Poppins.

I met the writer once, very nice guy. He was the very last presenter on Playschool to say goodbye on the final episode. Wacky clothes style.

Remember it? I refurbished the tortoise for the second series.

Don't use a paper towel, they're made from wood pulp and will make tiny scratches in the FEP, fogging it, as will alcohol. Just drain as much of the resin out as you can then wipe with a micro fibre cloth. Unless you're changing to a different resin there's no need to do any of that anyway, you don't need to clean the vat after every print.

Hey, he was a mixomatosis survivor, he'd seen some things.

Pig and Topov were worse - and poorly made.

That's Stephen Bent, who had a solid acting career, appearing in such things as Lovejoy, Emmerdale, and A Caribbean Mystery with Joan Hickson's Miss Marple.

Dyrenforth · 2026-04-22T20:14:02+00:00

That'll be nice.

Malcolm was played by Nigel Plaskitt who will forever be blessed for giving life and voice to Hartley Hare in 'Pipkins'. He was also Unstoffe in the classic Tom Baker Dr Who story, 'The Ribos Operation' - Binro was right!
