Re: Things I can't find on the internet
Tantalisingly, this music hall CD features a track called, 'A Spot Of Income Tax Bother' (which was originally released as a 78) but (a) there's no indication whether it's a song or a monologue and (b) I've not found a copy of that track online to listen to yet. https://www.musichallcds.co.uk/var37_...

Re: Things I can't find on the internet
I asked around and haven't identified the song (yet) but got these suggestions. ##################################################################### It does indeed sound like a Music Hall song. A place to start might be to discover when Schedule A income tax rate was 4s 9d in the pound. ###########...

Re: BBC Red Button Text Service
Very annoyed at this.
The text based service is far easier and quicker to navigate.
There have been numerous letters in Radio Times over the last few weeks - some from people in rural communities without a decent internet connection or people that aren't so tech savvy and rely on it for information.

An interesting episode today, "Connie & Clyde", reuniting Wendy Craig and Bruce Montague nearly 40 years after Butterflies . https://www.tm-img.com/images/2019/10/08/doctors.md.jpg Thanks for the tip off.

Re: Old Granada Continuity
Just a quick question around 1980 Granada showed a season of horror films under the banner "House of horrors" late on Friday nights. I'm sure they had a spooky type intro card before the films a bit like the "Appointment with Fear" intro. You see old continuity on Youtube or Tvark but not seen any ...

Re: Need to identify a short story about a stranded astronau
No idea if it's the one but, there was an Sci-Fi anthology called "The Twenty Second Century", published in 54, so it could well have been knocking about in School Libraries in 76, and there was a story in it called "Museum Piece". The book's author was John Christopher, of "The Tripods" fame, whic...

I recently bought, 'Tempo' in the Network sale and received an email stating that I now have, 'video access' to this, which sounds to me like video on demand.

Re: Network DVD's in Poundland
Poundland (Lancaster) has most of the titles mentioned above.
Eventually found them after walking round a few times, in a stand of their own near the front of the store labelled, 'Classic Comedy DVDs' (or similar) so I picked up Six Dates With Barker and The Goodies At LWT.

Re: Dennis Potter - Selected Non-Fiction 1953-1994
Mine arrived a week or so ago.
Whilst I've not had chance to delve properly yet, it does look very good.
I recently paraphrased some lines from the last interview with Melvyn Bragg in a speech I gave at my Mum's funeral (re nowness and being in the present tense).
