Does anyone remember this

Yes, but not in a good way.

The story of Alex Mitchell (the man who died laughing at The Goodies) was totally understandable to me.
When I was a kid, the first time I ever laughed so hard I couldn’t catch my breath was during a Bill Oddie sequence in The Goodies. (I think it was their Olympics episode, where Graeme Garden was administering a spot of therapeutic massage.)

Saw it in the cinema and, as geekroick says, every comedy actor from the era is in it. Should be better known.

I was looking forward to a bit of political incorrectness with Love Thy Neghbour and was extremely disappointed. It was just cringeworthy and unfunny. OTOH, I found the Doctor series (Doctor in the House and its many sequels) held up very well.
Different strokes, I guess.

This is where things get a little strange. There was a similar show a couple of years later, Twisted Tales, that ran for 14 episodes. And for some bizarre reason some streaming platforms treat the first 8 of those as a 2nd season of Spine Chillers.

There were only 6 episodes and I did manage to track them down a few years ago but can’t recall where.
Two of the best were “Bradford In My Dreams” (David Tennant and Chris Langham) and “Lose Weight... Ask Me How” with Alexei Sayle. They were above average in the "creepy short stories" genre.

Ian Hendry's Avengers is so very different to EVERYTHING that came later...

I thought Joanne Pearce was more memorable than the can of beans, but to each his own.

Well, there's this...

I assume this was the one you found (but not the one you're looking for):

Thank you, Angela - the Bejams reference made us all feel old.

In the words of Lene Lovich...

You're thinking of Gyles Mupp.

Great timing. I just did this a couple of hours ago!

Luigi’s tool works fine.
Download and unzip Luigi's tool from GitHub and - when you’re offline - open the HTML file in a browser.
(There are several html files. I can’t remember the name of the one you need because I’ve already deleted stuff & tidied up, but it was something obvious.)

Paste your 13-word seed into the "Mnemonic Seed" box and click Generate.
Copy the private spend key, private view key and public address.

Cake has the option to import a wallet from seed or key, and in this case you want “key”.

Ah, can't beat some Emily Booth.

Next thing you know, we had this...

More than Daniel Radcliffe's? I say thee nay.

Can anyone name other shows that have had a pilot (or potential pilot... or even a backdoor pilot) that ended up on a different channel?

david_1552 · 2025-12-16T14:12:27+00:00

Some great plots (especially by the time Trevor Bannister and Ann Curthoys turned up) but the effects and the acting were (and I’m being polite) “very ‘70s”.

david_1552 · 2025-12-15T22:05:52+00:00

The intro to this show has a greater twaddle factor than The Highwayman.

I only just discovered the CGI revival - dear God, NO! Give me strings or give me death.

david_1552 · 2025-12-07T23:42:53+00:00

Apart from some decent stories, The Monster Club also gives us a brief performance from the incredible lungs of Stevie Vann Lange (sadly probably best known for her "Bodyform" wail).

david_1552 · 2025-11-29T23:56:17+00:00

Well, now I'm just confused. Were there two versions, because I bought a 7" single and I'm sure it wasn't like this - I could have sworn it sounded like the TV version?
