A great find there Arthur I suppose this feature dates from about 1974/75? Vi Thanks Vi. The episode they were making is 'Storm In A Teacup', shown in Feb 77, not sure how long there was between filming & broadcast.

Found this Channel 4 documentary about 1980's Glasgow band Scheme. Not really a fan as such but remember this when it got shown around 85-86 and always a mystery why they never really got a record deal and made more of an impact in the 80's music scene.

Today is Australia Day. An old version of a tv ad has been reworked and playing now. The food they advertise is a chico roll which is available at fish and chip shops. They were eaten back in the 1970s, really awful food, like a bigger more unhealthy version of a fried dim sim, and really no one really knows what is in them. A very 'Aussie' style ad for Australia Day.

A revealing behind the scenes Blue Peter feature on the filming of 'Porridge' at Ealing Studios. Excellent find, Arthur. Thanks for sharing; nice informal interviews give interesting insights into the series.

Just watched that Porridge clip from Blue Peter and thought it was excellent Great find Thanks for posting Arthur. I'm only 30 days behind the curve on this one A fantastic find Arthur BBC paid Blue Peter presenters well though didn't they? TVR Tuscan isn't it? I wondered what that car was Maybe John was getting two wages. His and Shep's

Very interesting find Stan I would think most fans of old tv would know of ITC. This is a good documentary and explains in detail the Lew Grade ITC backstory. Cheers for posting.

Cop an eyeful gentlemen... and I don't just mean the cars The voice over chap on these clips never seemed to be out of work did he? Check out the 'mumsy' kinky boots on the dolly bird getting into the Lamborghini Countach in this clip... I could watch these all night, in fact I think I will...! Villain

Here's another one... now, I know I'm getting on in years but am I seeing things, or is the tall leggy blonde getting into the orange Lambo Urraco completely bereft of Alan Whickers at 1m into the film...? Villain
