Back in the “dark ages” the top deck of buses used to be a fug of smoke, now it’s been replaced by a babble of phone calls. Typically what happens is: person a sits down & makes a call, which prompts someone else […]

This might help you. Ben Castle, with an explanation from Matt Berry.

“Take me away, I’m scared”

Thank you! I’d only found the closing titles & wondered why the theme didn’t match the one I remember – and we used to sing in the playground. It was the opening one.

On Facebook, there was a name your favourite album thread. Someone offered Dark Side of the Moon, only to get the response “I’ve never heard it”

That’s a whole rugby team plus subs

@Jaygee My neighbour had taken to giving any visiting cats some milk. He thought he was being kind, but since their stomachs can’t really take it, Tiddles & Co would return home & decorate the dirt box.

“I saw a cat in my neighbour’s garden. I think it’s lost” OR “A cat has been coming into my garden & keeps mewing. We’ve been feeding it, but I think it’s lost”. Don’t these people understand how cats wander & wil […]

“My REAL friends will share this post”

There are 70 episodes on Fourble, if it does appeal..

If you’ve ever done Jury Service, you’ll know that the “it’s just like the Telly” stops the moment the first mumbling, inarticulate witness appears.

My mother’s observation was “That’s not a new born baby”

Our lead cop is very abrasive & when someone says “Frank wouldn’t have done that” he shouts “Don’t talk to me about Frank!” & storms off. “Who was Frank?” asks young rookie recruit “Frank was his partner. I gu […]

In a hail of bullets, our lead cop is uninjured, but his partner has a gut shot, that’s only revealed as they drive away “Stay with me Frank, we’ll get you to the hospital” (see below)

Favourite dialogue. These have me punching the air with glee. “I’ll call the Police” – “We are the Police” “I just hope my husband doesn’t find out” (husband has entered room) “doesn’t find out what?” “I just […]

The host’s reply to “We’ve had a wonderful time” is always “Well, that’s the main thing”

A detective entering the squad room will ask the others for quiet & to “listen up” even though everyone is silent. Likewise, their boss will say to the maverick detective “My office. Now” Increasingly the lea […]

That’s a shame. Hidden away on the “various Storypapers” page they’ve got the annual from 1941 (you’ll need to scroll down to near the bottom) and the guy seems to be fairly responsive, so it might appear or […]

My immediate thought was this – which I’d have chosen ahead of Leader of the Pack (which you’ve got)
