Stellar heads up EC  

 

 Thanks for the reminder.

Vicious on ITV, its good!

Thought I might be.... I will be watching very shortly.... so stand well back from the computer screen

No Jen, it's not I think I've heard everymone of these jokes before. Have just turned over to Dave Allen. Please tell me I haven't missed the skit of how to teach a child to tell the time

It is rather dated isn't it? It's like a 1960's sit com. Maybe it'll improve - don't think so though. Can't think what they were thinking

I kept expecting Rigsby to walk in

I was waiting for Mr Pastry (Before your time I think Rexi)

Well its new to me! Mwahaha

We're the same age sooz, who's Mr Pastry?

 

and yes Jen, you youngster you! It will all be new to you

Richard Hurndall

I am going to have to Google ...

 I think he's probably a bit before your time Rexi

Nope. Never heard of it

 

*joins Jen on the youngsters bench*

Here have some sweets

Ahhhhh, here's the sketch I have been waiting for

 

 

Hearne was born in Norwich, Norfolk, in 1908, the son of Richard and Lily May Hearne. Richard senior came from a theatrical family - his mother had been on the stage and he himself was a performing acrobat. Hearne worked on and off for the BBC for thirty years and became the first performer to be known as a "television star" and also the first to have his own television series. The black and white series, with the theme tune "Pop Goes The Weasel", had episodes lasting 25 minutes in which Hearne assumed the character of "Mr Pastry" - an old man with a walrus moustache, dressed in a black suit or raincoat and with a trademark bowler hat. Each week the bumbling old man would have adventures, partly slapstick, partly comic dance, with two young friends. Jon Pertwee also starred in the show in a variety of roles.

I'll watch that tomorrow sooz

I'm surprised you can remember him Soozy Can you remember Mick and Montmerency too?

I di have a very good memory Baz ......I remember a lot of stuff from being a young child. Don't remember those though. I remember Torchy and Twizzle though and Old Mother Reilly (from Saturday morning cinema).

I loved Saturday morning pictures 

Baz ......we've done this before I know but ....were you an ABC Miner?

 

We are the boys and girls wel known as the Minors of the ABC etc. etc.

 

 

Lol. I most certainly was Soozy  I can't get the clip to work , but I was singing along anyway  Happy days  

I even shouted the ABC very loud  

Rather like Sunday school operations, we had Saturday morning, or Saturday afternoon pictures. Our market town was too small to have an ABC, but obviously our lop house belonged in a group that would show all the same stuff.

new series of only connect coming soon

 

I love Only Connect.

I'm also very partial to Victoria Coren (but that is just coincidental).

 

 

 

 

Friday 10th May

 

Thanks Cos, I want to watch that

TLC Channel - 125 on Sky - has been showing a lot of promo's for new programmes coming up. One I'm going to watch is Breaking Amish this Sunday at 9pm.

Thanks for reminding me about this programme, I need to set the Tivo box to record it.

it's one of my favourite programs and i like Victoria's sense of humour

and they have completed filming another series (8th) to be shown in the autumn.

I bet it's a right laugh in her household, what with her now paired up with David Mitchell 

And now she's bessies with Starkey too.

final part of ice cream girls tonight and new series of Would I lie to you and eddie stobbart
