That’s the one that first came to my mind. Could easily slip it into an early Beatles compilation without many realising.

A Chump at Oxford, co-starring a young Peter Cushing.

What about some peak Laurel and Hardy, with Sons of the Desert, Pardon Us and Way Out West being the pick. Or closer to home, Oh Mr. Porter, Good Morning, Boys and Ask a Policeman with Will Hay. These were all […]

I seem to remember enjoying one of the On the Buses films, but I was probably still at primary school. I am fascinated by the 60s/70s era of comedy. A lot of it I really like, the Carry On films, Rising Damp, the […]

I don’t want to get into listening to podcasts, cos I have enough films, CDs and books to get through, but as a James Bond fan you’ve tempted me.

I like lists and I have a list of my 250 favourite films. Out of […]

Yep, thanks for that. What else of there’s should we be listening to? I only have their LateNightTales compilation.

A shame you are so far away, cos it’s a lovely town, about 10 miles away from where we live. You’ll know it as the setting for Last of the Summer Wine. The Picturedrome is my favourite venue in the North. It’s […]

65? No way! This age thing just creeps up on you, doesn’t it. I’ll be 50 in a couple of months, which frankly is ridiculous. Doesn’t seem 2 minutes since I was the only teenager walking round Barnsley in one of Ch […]

Why do so many people dislike Republic? I really like it and was disappointed the special editions didn’t stretch past Technique.

Sorry to hear that mate. Can’t be easy.

I moved down to Brighton from Liverpool in 1994 to work in the A&E and I was very surprised then about the high amount of admissions we saw due to drink and drugs and the high level of homelessness. I think my […]

SPOILER (for those who haven’t seen the show or read the news!)

And the man in the archive clip who said the five boys (aged between 14 and 16) who were fitted up for sexually assaulting the female jogger s […]

Ah, yes, we watched When They See Us too. Frightening isn’t it. I shudder to think how many times things like that happened and are continuing to happen. Nice to know that Trump has always been a dangerous, racist […]

I really don’t want to get back into vinyl. I just buy the Stephen Duffy ones, where I’m a completist. I was looking at the first Etherwood album though, as some of them came with a CD. There wasn’t a standalone […]

No, there’s no CD, not even a promo CD as far as I could tell, so I downloaded it. I’ll keep checking though, as occasionally promo CDs turn up. I’m still on the lookout for the promo of Life in Motion by […]

Seen: Finally got round to watching Deutschland ’83 and ’86 and really enjoyed them, particularly the first. Also watched 22 July, the film about the terror attack in Norway and, whilst the film was very good, I […]

I’ve got 7 or 8 of them and I’ve just listened through most of the rest, but the only one I really liked (and have added to the 7 or 8) is the J Majik one, which is fab. It’s a bit disappointing, but I’ve found v […]

Worrabout Birth of the Beatles, with Nick Cotton as George Harrison? It’s a bit rubbish really, but I loved it as a kid and watched it loads of times.

Hopefully I’m not the only one who took ages to work out how a record plays backwards…

Wow, we had that multicoloured Elves and the Shoemaker record when I was a kid.
