Aye - because he IS Welsh! He also played a Welsh professor in Virtual

Anyone know who he is?

Agreed! Too few people try to put on an accent - aren't there any Welsh
actresseses of a high enough calibre?

Hmmmm...if ONLY EBAT students made up the team, I wonder who'd be on it???
I guess you'd be okay if it was about Prisoner:Cell Block H and I'd be okay
if my starter for ten was on Jeanette Winterson, but after that I guess we'd

What is your answer for the lifting device BTW???  Me and Poldark liked the

No, no not at all. I remember watching it but I was so young and my memory is
so poor I cant remember much.

I can still whistle the theme tune but Christ knows how I remember that.

I do know it was the only program that actually used to give my nightmares
when I was a kid (weird, eh).
The Doctor Who music used to make me hide behind the couch but Ellery Queen was
really spooky.

Anyone else fill in any informative trivia about this show.
I dont remember it ever being repeated.

Interestingly (perhaps), Scottish Television seem to change their logo every
year, if not more frequently. Several (5ish) years ago they changed from
 stv      (roughly)
to a thistle design which consisted of a blue (3D) snooker ball which flew in
from the side of the screen and developed leaves made up of squares (it's
rather hard to describe). Since then, the basic design has remained the same,
although the snooker ball was ditched in place of a tiddly-wink type thistle
head, then it changed to a more "artistic" thistle, and I think it's now
a transparent (a la TVS) flat thistle.

I am watching UK Gold for a while now and I couldn't
help but notice how unpunctual they are.

I can't understand that, since they've got NO
programming of which they don't know exactly
how long it is. 

And the worst thing is that they are not only
running behind schedule. Their shows and films
sometimes begin much earlier than scheduled.
(Two times, when I tried to tape the Sunday
repeat of Alexei Sayle, I didn't have the 
beginning of the show, though I had programmed 
my VCR to begin recording 10-15 minutes early.)

Why can't they have VPS (Video Programming System),
or is this completely unknown in the UK?

Can you honestly tell me you know someone who, given a video tape containing
a programme with adverts in the middle, would not fast-forward past the
adverts?  So what does it matter whether your VCR cuts out the adverts if
you are not going to watch them anyway?

On a related note, someone mentioned "Programme delivery control".
Channel 4 still operates this service (though no-one else does) and several
of JVC's machines can receive it.

I won a competition with several other members of my school and as the prize
we got to see the children's ITV programme, "Splash" being made.  We had 
lunch in the canteen there, met all the stars of the show, and other people
who were wandering around.  At the same time that we were there, they were
recording "This is Your Life", I can't remember the name of the TV studios
where I was - anyone have any idea where that would have been??  I think it
was Teddington Lock, but I could be wrong.  I remember that it was in London
and that there was a wide expanse of water flowing around the back.

Also we had Les Dennis come to our school to receive a cheque on behalf of
Guide Dogs for the Blind, so I got to talk to him.  I've met loads of the
top darts players, apparently I told Bobby George that I thought Jockey 
Wilson was a much better player than he; I was too young to remember.

I've seen the crew from Anglia TV when they were recording an episode of
"Anything Goes", in Great Yarmouth.  They were outside some fortune tellers
place on Regent Road.  I've probably come across more, but I can't recall
them at the moment.

I once discovered Magnus Magnusson signing books in a store in York (c. 1981)
when I was out with my girlfriend of the time - we asked if we could take his
photo - he said only if we bought a book, but we were students at the time so
couldn't.
I was only allowed to take his piccy if my young lady was also in the picture,
so they stood together, they both grinned broadly and I snapped away.
On leaving the shop I was told that all the time MM had been groping my gf's
backside - so there you have it, MM's a dirty old man :-)

When a lad (c. 1974) I went to the shops (this was in Folkestone, Kent) to get
my mum her daily 10 No. 6, and found The Goodies shooting a scene outside the
shop - anyone else got an autographed cigarette packet :-)

Here's a little advice, loosely to do with this thread, that I picked up from
listening to Danny Baker's morning Radio 5 show - if you ever come across a
film shoot, make your way to the food truck - no-one knows if you're an extra
(or even a star :-), and you can stay all day and feed your face, watch the
comings and goings, etc. - anyone tried it?

Bye,

According to _BBC_ R4 the Independent Television Commision received 40%
more complaints concerning adverts in 1992 than they had in 1991. A
dramatic rise? Not really when you consider that this 40% meant that they
received around 3,500 complaints.

The most outstanding complaints (in that they were specificially mentioned
on the radio) were the Claire Rayner Sanitary towel ad (the one in a Kilroy
like setting) and the Citreon ad where a girl is blind-folded and describes
her journey accurately. Both of these ads have been withdrawn.

Regards, Trevor.
