Tango Red Leader Bristow enters the shop in full dress blacks and a black brain bucket, unable to hear a thing. Arkwright causes the visor to jamb shut. Bristow speaks but is muffled by the stuck-closed helmet visor. Granville says "it sounds like someone whose head is stuck in a Russian...

Arkwright: "Fancy the Americans spending so much on Disney World when they could have had Marxism for nothing".

Thank you!!! Good news is always welcome.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!!! The hospital is the best and yet the worst place to be when you are not well (unless you are getting fitted for an aerial).

To me, it sounds like the first line of a limerick. You can instantly see where it is going, just like the one about the girl from Nantucket.

Again, Thanks for your efforts!! There was a song. I think it was a song for kids. Think about our 'Itsy Bitsy Spider Went Up the Waterspout' song. I went back into the wollenmills of my own rusty mind and remembered that the poem I mentioned was actually a nursery rhyme. Armed with that, I...

In 'Set the People Free', Compo heads up to Nora's place armed with flowers and chocolates and sings a song to distract Nora while Wally makes his getaway to the boat awaiting below. The song begins with something about a spider and a fly. I know I have heard this song somewhere, but I just...

Warning: if you haven't seen the series, don't read this as I give away bits of the plot. In ATGB there were many romances of sorts. Jean and Lionel, Alistair and Judy, Alistair and Mercury (who we never saw), Judy and the school teacher who had two children, Rocky and Madge, an imaginary...

Serendipity!!!

I forgot to mention, Our very own Barry Wilkinson appears in one episode as a herald, and Francis Cox again achieves perfection in her craft in the role of Mrs. Thrupp.
