The Mausoleum Club Forum

I watched the first episode and despite it's revisionist tendencies, thought it was atmospheric and well executed - episode two started well but started to go downhill rapidly - as many have remarked it degenerated into a pc version of "Carry on Dracula" It's a while since I saw a production start s...

Interesting to see the sketch with Ed Sullivan, though the first appearance was poor and they were lucky to be asked back.
The later performances were 100% better.

She certainly seemed to work with almost all of the UK's greatest comedy actors : Sid James, Jimmy Edwards, Terry Scott, Reg Varney, Ronnie Barker, Benny Hill Harry H Corbett - the list goes on.
RIP June

The picture quality has improved considerably in the past few months (At least on Sky) I'm quite addicted to the channel - Many of the TV shows they have screened I have heard of but not had the chance to see before. The best I've enjoyed so far include Scotland Yard, The Human Jungle, Scales of Jus...

The children's tv show Now For Nookie with Roger De Courcey is running at the moment

Was lucky enough to see him play live with his wife about 4 years ago at our local town hall in Bolton - Very talented guy

Was a little disappointed that on several of the sets the musical guests had been removed - the earlier episodes the minor stars were left in tact.

Lot's of memories of his Top of the pop's appearances and particularly Ed and Zed - You've gone to early Ed
