I remember this series. I know it had Louise Jameson (Leela from Dr.
Who). Didn't it also have Gareth Thomas (Blake)? Unfortunately, my
memory is fading. They use to show it at 8PM before Dr. Who (Or was it
11PM AFTER Dr. Who).

Why am I posting? Am I really helping anything?

I do recall it was quite bizarre. Not quite as bizzare as Vic Reeves
though. :-)

Quite right (I think), wasnt he also "chunky" in BBC1's making out? a sort of
comedy come drama with decent theme music (well before they messed around with
it for the second series....New Order's Vanishing point if my memory is still
working).

Well, she can't because I copyrighted the idea.

If I look at Jack he's just another pretty face.  If I close my eyes I start
going "Ooh! Ooh! Where have I heard that voice before?  The Archers!  No,
Waggoners Walk!  What was the name of that radio programme?".  In other 
words I would swear I've heard him on the Beeb radio, but I've barely listened
to Radio 4 since I left in 1981 and he does look _awfully_ young, dahling...

Incidentally the guy who played Dennis the Good Banker (RIP) is another 
familiar voice, but trying to list all the times I've heard it (commercials,
overdubs for European actors with thick accents, etc. etc. etc.) would take
all night.

The worst aspect of the plots was the familiarity of it all - if you
grew up in the UK and had access to the various Girls Own Paper clones
that used to be sold (I admit it: I read my sister's comics as well as
my own).  Inasmuch as Jean Marsh is of a certain age, you can tell where
she got her inspiration....

ObSomethingPositiveToSay: I did find the reconciliation of Jack and 
whatshername rather touching.  But of course they had to go and turn it
into a cliff-hanger...will he rush up the gangplank to join them in the US?
Is he waiting in their cabin with a bottle of champagne and a boyish smile?
Will he scramble aboard from the pilot boat just as Blighty fades into the
mists?  Or is he going to Berlin, to become addicted to cocaine and 
catamites?

Roll on Pole to Pole, I say.....

Okay so a couple of months ago I wrote about the patronising attitude of
the BBC in it's version of "Right to Reply". I had the mis-fortune to catch
todays edition and they are still holding onto the "Aunty knows best"
attitude. And this during a debacle (sorry debate) about the renewal of
their charter.

They had one item on sports coverage and how the national organisations for
sports are having to fund the screening of their games on the BBC. Take for
example the GBP 20,000 that Netball had to _pay_ recently to get a few
minutes of air time. This coverage was (apparently) interupted by horse
racing. Netball is a sport that by the BBC's own admission has over
1,000,000 participants; which is far in excess of the number of registered
cricketers!

Cricket by the way got 167 hours of air time but is a men's game and
therefore worth more air time :-). Tennis came in at 120+ and is a men's
game as well, then another MEN's game (soccer) at 107; then golf (men's
game)...

Sue Lawley meet her match in the representative of the Netballers, this
woman was VERY well prepared and left Lawley speechless for a few seconds.
All Lawley could do was complement her on being "so well prepared". Of
course, they then turned to another item... As I watched this it was
obvious that Lawley was expecting to wipe the floor with this "sporty
type" however she was the one that got her come-upance.

Regards, Trevor.

I didn't notice Ian sneering. Anyway, to say that everyone at a particular
university is going to leave it and become a great comedian is as sweeping
and crass a statement as to say that anyone else is just a 'working class
guttersnipe'. While it's true that Oxford and Cambridge produced Monty
Python's Flying Circus, Fry & Laurie etc, they by no means have any sort
of monopoly on comedic talent.

Ummm, bad plots in PCBH eh......what about when Noleen's daughter jumps/falls/
gets pushed off the top of the prison building and then after being caught 
stealing stuff they sent Noleen bach to H block...

I'm glad somebody else noticed the Judy is a virgin with a daughter business
too.  Would it perhaps not be blasphemous in this case to say that it was an
immaculate concption...if the BBC ever decide to do asnother nativity show
at least we now know who they should cast as the Virgin Mary...

I also thought it was _great!_  Unfortunately I only got to see the last
hour or so of the rebroadcast.  (I stumbled across it whilst channel-
flipping.)  Even though the production was a little rough by American
standards (I happen to _like_ that!), I found it alternately sweet and
very, very funny!  ("I told him we should open a chain of restaurants;
We'd call it 'Something Fishy.'")

Does anybody know if _Bernard and the Genie_ is going to be shown again?

I take it that this is a movie. It's definitely on my list of 'Must
See' now....

I take it the court scene is much better than the campfire scene from
Blazing Saddles.

Please excuse the intrusion...

Just wandering through & noted the title of your post & hoping that you
can help me.

I'm looking for a newsgroup or conf (depending on which net you use)
that discusses "The Street" (aka "Coronation Street").  Could this be
the one, or is there a specific conf/newsgroup devoted exclusively to
this topic?

Ta very much! :)

Not forgetting Alison Carr from S&D
Patricia from S&D
Beryl from S&D
Alf from H&A twice I beleive - once as a "boyfriend" of Meg's and secondly
as the nasty governor
Paul Robinson (three times)
and many many more.
It seems that at one point in their careers, ALL Australian actors have appear
-ed in Sons And Daughters.  Now there was A soap...action, drama, mystery,
pathos...a soap NOT to be missed when it was on.  I think it should be repeated

Sorry to be turning to into an HoE bore/expert (delete as applicable). At
the close of the second series the announcer's voice said, "The House of
Eliott will be back next year." This is the BBC's normal way of telling the
world to "Wait and See".

Ailsa, hoping she can get to see the HoE costumes on display at the V&A
before the end of January.
