The Mausoleum Club Forum

When I tried connecting an external hard drive it reported that the formatting of the disk was wrong. Perhaps the drive needs a certain type of formatting before it can be used. I can't remember now what it said was needed.

I just misread my clock this morning, but only missed the first 10 minutes or so. I was only trying to get half an hour lay in, but it spread. How ever an enjoyable episode again a show that had different directors for the Studio and film sections. I liked the view of the gallery during the in show ...

I always thought flat should be on one floor, possibly with a shared outer front door and apartment could be on two or more floors with a separate outside front door.

LOL! Yes, and the ones that say see photo below. It really is pitiful that organisation with world-wide news resources like the BBC has, is reduced to simply cutting and pasting news items from the web. I always read the "whats in the papers" page, and it's like rereading the "UK" section that I've...

I think that's what they were going to do (especially at weekends) when they announced the Covid induced "reprieve" for the service. A lot of weekend rail work alterations to service don't make it now and what I hate is the truncated pieces which are obviouly just the start of a web article. One was...

A few hours later than indicated but mine was with me late yesterday afternoon.

My Amazon order is just showing "Arriving Monday", no dispatch email yet.

Well it does show that TPTV doesn't show programmes off DVD, I suppose.

I'm sure I saw an Uxbridge to Hillingdon video on You Tube from someone who does them about every odd thing on the underground, Perhaps the writer saw that - I'm sure it lasted all of 5 minutes.

a big flaw in the "Up" series is that it needed more girls. And non-whites. I assume the gender/race balance was different when the series started. I have looked at my own primary school group photos There are 28 boys and 11 girls, 31 white 8 non-white in the class and the school was very near Brix...

The screen ratio made 4K seem to be the original format to me.

It is now reported that she is not dead, but very seriously ill in hospital.

When did Coronation Street become commonly known as "Corrie" anyway? I'm sure I never heard it when I was growing up in the 70s - not in my part of the country anyway (HTV West region).

Yes, always just "The Street" where I was.

The banner is showing now.

Well his cameo in The Night Manager was shown in the news bulletins so he was a TV performer too.
This has been a bad month in a very bad year. RIP John.

...which reminds me of all the schoolboy-sniggery quotes which aren't in Captain Pugwash.

Yes it was the character Roger Walker in the 2016 Swallows & Amazons that wanted to be a cabin boy. I wonder if that line was deliberate I don't remember it from the 1974 version.

I assume you mean linear broadcast TV as the internet provides distance seeing (Tele - vision).

I'm sure that when the "red button" service started they went on about the improved graphics, but all we get in that respect now are the weather maps.

Yes, it always was a bit non-intuitive and this new format makes it even worse. I got to the state when I bookmarked each group when I joined.

It is a private group so I would advise anyone wanting it to search for Kaleidoscope on there to join first. I'll try a link though https://www.facebook.com/groups/kaleidoscopearchive

I'm sure it has been re-shot, but the Coco Cola "Holidays are coming" advert must have clocked up a good few years.

Is Forces TV on Ch.97?

No Chan 96, 97 was a 3hr a day early hours of the morning reservation for an ITV channel, I believe was just a place holder.

In London TPTV is still on chan. 81 for me.

I believe so. I do remember 200 b/sec Datel modems in the early 1970's

Wow didn't notice, looks like Pick is moving to ch.34 once I retune

I did see the "You may need to re-tune notice" on Pick a few days before. Also I see chan 97 has gone again.

I have never seen one but I would suspect this sort of thing would be in the scripts for "The xxxx that went wrong" plays/TV shows"/ Farndale plays etc..

I had hoped to go to be in the audience when Angela was presenting (as I was for her "You can't take it with you" series) but, as you say, the present conditions prevented that.

I have a feeling I read that the digital TV system used here, though it could have supported it, unfortunately due to the way it has been implemented it now can't.

If I remember correctly (having watched these at the time of transmission) they seemed too much unlike Hugh & I and we wanted more of those, not what we were given, which didn't seem as funny. I also have a slight memory of seeing them both in Summer season at the Pier Theatre in Southsea, which was...

Very similar to what we were trained to do at the computer centre I worked at in the late '70s to early '90's, only our 1/2" tape (3M not Ampex) was in rigid plastic circular boxes.

At least with Fawlty Towers it was a case of stop when the ideas the writers were passionate about ran out and not prolonging it with new episodes just written to keep it going and people saying "it's not as good as it used to be".
