This is one of the reasons why I stopped watching television.

I'm impressed.
Looking out for Craig Brown now...

"Baby Boomers" is just an insult now.

It's come about because Millennials daren't say "Old B***ards"

It's an interesting historical document.
Time it was available on DVD.

Which of the various Eurovision competitions are we to get this year? [/devils advocate].

So sad.
Wonderful as Barbara Judd in 'Quatermass and the Pit'.
I'll watch that tonight, as my poor attempt at a tribute.

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.

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...

Looks like I'll have to bite the bullet, and buy a 'paperback'.

The last one makes just as little sense!

Excellent site.
Makes you realise how much vintage television you HAVEN'T seen.

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.

I suppose it's dated by the computers; they seem to change quicker than motor-car styling.

Living in Windsor as a kid, going to the Christmas Circus was a part of my childhood for several years, though by the 1970s they had learnt their lesson and the circus was pre recorded months in advance.

Pre-recorded? What did they show it on?
Multi-screen Eidophors?

So people actually READ these incomprehensible newspaper strips?

I watched this same 'crap telly', along with the 'grown-ups' at the time, and we all enjoyed it.

Enjoy it now, before John Laurie's portrayal of a Scotsman becomes 'inappropriate for today's audience'.

Why don't we (they?) just declare 'anything over ten years old isn't suitable for today's New Victorians' and be done with it?

I'd go with straight from the horsey persons mouth...

Is 'copywritten' straight from the same mouth, along with 'sort' for 'sought', I wonder?

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

The Internet is well on the way to rendering television itself obsolete.

I think the Internet rendered it obsolete.

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...

A minor hit in the late 60s. I had the 45.

A brilliant Bosie, to Peter Finch's Wilde.

History is certainly dated!

Didn't PRESTEL involve both TV and telephone line?

'Flambards', with my favourite crackerjack musical instrument, the Ondes Martenot.

Was the tune possibly OWNED by David Frost?
