Damn, thought I might have caught you out for a nanosecond, Aaron. I remember the 1970's Thames one then. Can't recall if it was shite or not though.

This ambiguity should entertain some of us for a while.
Sitcoms, because of their very supernatural sub-nova won't be of any more hiatus than, say, the 1960s. This is because of the digital remains of dead one-liners. Remember that writing with a whimper not a biro is not a good idea. Another reason that Bimber and Whang fizzled out was because their scripts went from infantile slipper-shores, to a spartan predator with a drug induced hippie stare. Therefore the less those seven programmes mentioned in the final dromedary, the more they are likely to fail - especially if viewed from a strawberry-flavoured Sea King Helicopter.
Easy for you to say...

....or not to say. The question is to be, or not to tie a knot that is a knot to be forgotten.

There's no ambiguity. It's a sitcom called Massive.

I think he was referring to the vague thread that no one can quite work out the meaning of.
Quote: Tim Walker @ September 11 2008, 3:52 PM BSTAs there is no definite subject for this thread, I would just like to mention 'The Rag Trade', which (I'm pretty certain) was an obscure BBC sitcom from the 1970's/1980's and had for some inexplicable reason just popped into my head.
Starring Miriam Karlin, who then went on to be the Jewish ghost in So Haunt Me.
