Absolutely! She played Jessica Tate as soft-hearted and fuzzy-brained, but with the occasional flash of steel. A great performance in a great show.

Better in the 'Ashes To Ashes' section, I think. Could one of the mods please move it there?

This is a last-throw-of-the-dice sort of thing. Is there anyone out there who would know the identity of the theme music to Radio Cymru's late-afternoon news programme Post Prynhawn which was used from the late 70s until at least the mid 80s? I always find it difficult to describe these things (and ...

We've had two threads about The Lion... in the past.

One on the old forum:

And one on this one:

Her characterisation on The News Huddlines of the dreaded queen mum as a spoonerism- and malapropism-prone old Cockney bint was superb.

She also voiced Mrs Beaver in the UK-soundtracked version of the animated The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe in the late 70s (Arthur Lowe was Mr Beaver).

In about '86, S4C broadcast Fel 'Na Mae ('That's The Way It Is') which a combination of a quiz and a light-hearted discussion. It was chaired by the historian John Davies (1938-2015, author of the seminal book A History Of Wales).

Coming back to this, I have to say that I'm enjoying these re-runs immensely. There's been a preponderance of episodes from the 1978 series, which is probably due to the BBC having held on more of them in the archives. It was also David Nixon's last series, as he died at the end of that year and was...

I had wondered if it was Valiant , but I couldn't visualise the covers of the annuals. Was there more than one Knockout ? I could have sworn that the one I remember was absorbed into Whizzer & Chips , as I said above. I don't remember any Marvel stuff in Smash , though; only the British funnies that...

Coming in late to this whole subject, but I can think of my comic-reading period (roughly 1966-75) featuring at various times the Beano , the Dandy , Beezer , Whizzer & Chips , Knockout (which was later incorporated into W&C , IIRC), Cor!! (Front-page character Gus The Gorilla, with the regular punc...

I don't really know. For one thing, the radio tuner was out of sight in the staff rooom, and so I wouldn't have known whether it was distrubuting MW or FM reception to the classroom (even if I knew about such things at that age!). If it was MW, then it could have been the Welsh HS from Wrexham or it...

There was a series broadcast on Sunday afternoons on R2 in the summer of 1968, which was subsequently repeated at 12.25pm Tuesdays on R4 in the autumn of that year (1 October - 24 December). Could that possibly be what you were thinking of? Nah, 12.25 we'd have been playing on Top Yard. Oh well, pe...

It's the same programme, but with a different programme ID. They'll probably claim that it's the ghost of Messiter at work. Getting back to Nigel's question: According to Genome, the last broadcast of Listen With Mother on the Light Programme was on 4 September 1964. It moved to the Home Service aft...

Again perhaps giving away too much about my weird childhood state, I'm pretty sure that MAS was broadcast after Listen With Mother on a weekday afternoon at some point between 1966 and 1969. But was LWM on Light/2 or Home/4 during that period? I've often been surprised in hindsight at which programm...

The next episode of MAS is described as having been "First broadcast on the BBC Light Programme in January 1973"

I don't expect them to be obsessed, but I think it's reasonable to expect them to take care with the facts.

Seems like it's OK on Firefox (although FF for Android is - generally speaking - a crock of poo).

Thanks for the advice.

I've got one of them there smartphones now, and I've just tried logging in on it here for the first time.

Broadcasters would have been bound by (I think) the Representation of the People Act, which would have precluded any candidate in the election from being featured in a context which would mean that that candidate's presence couldn't be balanced out by candidates from the other parties, e.g. in a pan...

Absolutely wonderful! And, as you say Brock, very fast-moving - far more than I remember it being. The pace had noticeably slowed down by the last few series. I may have heard that episode the first time it was broadcast, because I was a precocious brat of 5 who listened to it, not because I underst...
