Couldn't resist sharing, Mr Snot.

Superb Mr Cube thank you, my cap is permanently doffed in your direction Sir!

It was brilliant when Dad first bought our Pye, 6inch screen TV in it's beautiful polished mahogany case with two controls, one the on/off switch and the other one the volume control. Must have been around 1955, and all to watch the only one BBC TV channel.

It's probably not much cop now.

My mate’s (then young) daughter once met Saville. He didn’t molest her in any way and to this day she wonders what he didn’t see in her ! 😱

Monty Python (the TV series),
Up Pompei,
On The Buses,
Love Thy Neighbour,
Benny Hill,
Black and White Minstrel Show ( my dad loved this for the singing not the face paint),
Doctor Who (wobbly scenery and every alien planet looking like a disused chalk pit (it was),
Platform shoes ( As a short arse I thought great I can look taller, you had 6ft guys wearing them. Still cool at the time).
Denim Jeans (My dad hated them, the day he started wearing them was when I gave them up).

Denim jeans are much better though

Monty Python.

Their movies are mostly good. The Life of Brian is amazing.

However, their TV show was very 'hit and miss'.......mostly miss. Just Watch a highlights 'best of compilation' and dont torture yourself with the other rubbish.

Brilliant then....... now massively dated. Organised Religion. Contraception, the Welfare State, the Child Support Agency, Science, Social Networks, & DNA paternity testing, and many other new technologies have made much of it redundant. Including the 'surveillance State' why should murderers worry about 'God is watching you' when they now know the State is doing that job for Him ?
