"Baby Boomers" is just an insult now.
It's come about because Millennials daren't say "Old B***ards"

Re: Barbara Shelley (1932-2021)
So sad.
Wonderful as Barbara Judd in 'Quatermass and the Pit'.
I'll watch that tonight, as my poor attempt at a tribute.

Re: Doctor Who Classic Series and DVDs
I think that everybody got a taste of their favourite era much sooner with the release policy adopted.
If you had been an enthusiast of the egregious McCoy, you would have had a very long wait before the tosser appeared.

Re: Doctor Who Classic Series and DVDs
I wish they'd done these Season sets on DVD all along. Rather than a single release with 2 25 minute episodes We'd have had a long wait between releases. Too long in some cases. How is that different from the long waits for the individual story releases? I'll let you work that out for yourself. Sea...

Re: Christmas Day on BBC1 1946-2020
Sorry! I was having a laugh.
The idea of showing a pre-recorded circus inside a big top somehow tickled me.
Did you see Billy's grand-daughter, Yasmin? She was wonderful. She could stand up on a horse!
I wanted to marry her, but the Guv'nor wouldn't let me.
I WAS only seven at the time.

Going back to the earlier issue of whether "Till Death Us Do Part" or "Till Death Do Us Part" is the correct version: it looks as though the first is the original one, still used by the Church of England, and the second is a more recent (North American?) version. Wikipedia in a footnote says 'the p...
