    Happy Heavenly Birthday John Lennon

    We tried the walk on our visit. I think cars would certainly stop for large sumos but they about flattened us. Getting a picture taker safely in the perpendicular spot was its own challenge.

    Clever camera work

    By the final series of Last of the Summer Wine, Peter Sallis and Frank Thornton had largely been confined to brief, seated scenes because of their age and the insurance restrictions on location filming. How, then, were their scenes in the final episode, How Not to Cry at Weddings, actually...

    Mashi's musings...

    Not sure how much longer Peter Sallis could have carried on working. Potentially breaking the “appeared in every episode” streak.

    Used to watch her swoon down every weekend on here TV show and wondered if there was hopefully some safety mechanism keeping her from falling off that swing. https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/video/opening-sequence-love-is-like-a-butterfly-plays-dolly-news-footage/1142874006 From an...

    Any takers for this question on tonights episode of The Chase??

    I was disappointed on a recent episode of Jeopardy the show was not part of a "British Television" category. Longest running sitcom would have certainly made for a compelling "answer".

    Breakaway Day 2026

I always thought the cad bureaucrat "Simmonds" (Roy Dotrice) character was well done. If you can see the episode Earthbound (with Christopher Lee) he ends up finding out...

    Breakaway Day 2026

    It's been a quiet but popular gathering date for an annual convention here. They've been fortunate to get cast members including Barbara Bain and Nick Tate to speak and answer questions. Some of those are available on youtube.

    The Proms

    Hate that I've missed this tonight. https://www.bbc.co.uk/events/ed5fbp Saw Carl Palmer about a year ago in "performing" with his ELP band mates. It was actually very clever mixing in a backing band for some songs and some ELP audio and video for others along with a lot of tales from those days.
