I don’t post here much these days because, to be a frank chicken, I don’t have much to say. I am about as interesting as Steve Davis after a late night session on Ovaltine. However I do like to read what jolly japes you lot seem to be doing much of the time. I also like discovering, or being directed to, new music and film clips.
But that’s enough about you. Here is a newly posted pilot for the Mrs Murton Nightcap show from the days of YTV. It would go on to find a better home in Granadaland as The Mrs Merton Show with better quality celebrity guests, although Liz & Andy were probably the closest duo to Mark Ellen & David Hepworth that Yorkshire could provide at the time and two names from my past.
Far, far too modest, as ever Beany. You are the icing on rhe AW cake.
This was very amusing. What a funny lady she was.
It has the quaint feel of a home movie made in the studio after hours than a potential blockbuster series. That was the beauty of YTV back then. Who else would produce a sitcom based around an undertaker’s business. This features my only excursion into the world of luvviedom as paid extra. Blink and you will miss me, as Steven Spielberg obviously did.

“Paid extra” indeed – hah!
You don’t fool us, Beany – you are, in fact, none other than…
…CHRISTOPHER Beany!!!
There, I’ve said it, it’s out there, own it.
In Loving Memory ran for 37 episodes. Disapppointing then that they didn’t see your potential and develop your “character”.
Hollywood’s loss is the AW’s gain.
You’re right, there is something appealing about these more small-scale, lower budget TV shows.
I liked Phoenix Nights. Not a show with potential for the international export market. I tried it (without subtitles) on Mrs KFD. She couldn’t understand a word.
