Slim, little much on the Talking Pictures tv channel during the coming week to mention. There's a 1958 British crime drama called "Nowhere to Go" on Wednesday morning. Sounds rather downbeat. Was the last but one Ealing Studios film but not a comedy. The only reason for mentioning the film is that it was the first significant film role of Maggie Smith.

Thankyou El

As much as I love Maggie Smith, I might give this one a miss

I watched "Appointment with Venus" yesterday evening and enjoyed that. David Niven and Glynis Johns were likeable in it.
More of an adventure film. Although set during World War 2, what little violence in it is mild which is why it still carries a U certificate.

Did you enjoy the film El?

Yes, Slim

Slim, having seen a trailer for "Nowhere to Go" I think it unlikely you would want to watch it as it's rather violent.

I did find a Youtube clip from the film which has Bridget Howard (Maggie Smith) being interviewed by Inspector Scott (Geoffrey Keen) which is quite likeable:

The trailer I was referring to, Slim:

Film was reclassified as a PG in 2012 but the trailer feels more like a 12

Back in 2021 I mentioned this BBC news item about a man who threw away a laptop which contained bitcoins:

Now he wants to buy the landfill site:

The first successful attempt to reach the summit of K2 (second only to Everest in height) was on 31 July 1954 and of Kanchenjunga (third highest) on 25 May 1955.

Good afternoon Buddies

A cold overcast day here. 6° is the expected high

Have a good day everyone

The most spectacular view I've ever seen was years ago I was driving along the A39 in North Devon. It had been raining and although it had stopped, the sky was full of dark clouds. Then I went through Lynmouth, There's a hairpin bend there and for a few seconds the shingle beach and sea can be seen. Amidst the clouds was the sun poking through and a sunbeam on the beach.

6 episodes.
Jim Bergerac played by Damien Moloney, Barney Crozier by Robert Gilbert and Charlie Hungerford is played by Zoe Wanamaker so a change of gender from the original.
Various new regulars but the best known being Philip Glenister as Arthur Wakefield.

Apparently John Nettles was offered a cameo role but turned it down saying that he was too old for the role (he's 81), Baz
