A thing which is neither from the UK, a TV show or made of gold.
Nice one!

This, and later Butterflies, were really exciting, groundbreaking stuff.

Butterflies was wonderful. I love it - they don't really show that much either.

Noooo, Butterflies is depressing!

Noooooo! It was about Wendy Craig's new lease of life! And it was hilarious.

Well, I suppose it would have been a bit depressing if you were Geoffrey Palmer.

I should watch it again at some point, but it was so dull and dreary. The subject matter I do not approve of either, and even the theme tune made me instantly 'down'. Awful!

Fairy nuff. I take your point about the subject matter, but I suppose it was of its time: women's lib etc. It was showing a woman shaking off stereotypes of being able to cook or being just a good housewife etc. and of wanting more from a relationship than she had?

We'll agree to disagree!

YOU WIN!!

Yeah, innit!

Do they have a long piece of string?

Err. Maybe?

I watched last weeks about Ripping Yarns.

Apparently the filming costs were astronomical for the time.

Judy Loe - Mrs Beckinsale - was on. I had a big crush on her when I was young when she was in Ace of Wands.

I really liked Ripping Yarns, I thought it was so funny. Favourite episode, Murder at Moorstone Manor.

Rab C whatever is name is this week.

That will make it two in a row that I won't watch.
