I don't understand why the Public Eye dvds go for so much, they may be OOP but talkingpictures shows it & most episodes are on yt from what I can see. This is the article refered to in the listing including a nice cartoon for 'Crossroads' afficionados I knew the theme to 'Follyfoot' but hadn't heard of The Settlers, here they are singing it live on The Morecambe & Wise show, the singer Cindy Kent is now a vicar & Christian Radio presenter according to comments.

Freddie Starr - he turned into a bit a of tragic figure getting caught up in all furore with Operation Yewtree without ever having being charged and losing a court case over a claim about appearing on Clunk Click with the obnoxious individual Jimmy Saville, so makes you think the claims made were true. Yewtree I felt was a kneejerk reaction from the Establishment following everything coming out about Mr Saville. The operation felt like a witchhunt on anyone connected in some way with Saville. Of course, when lawyers started to talk about compensation for victims - there was suddenly an increase in allegations and then arrests. A handful of those arrested such as Freddie Starr, William Roche, Matthew Kelly had done nothing wrong.
Even Tony Blackburn and Paul Gambacinni were both dragged into it - the BBC had to crawl back to them with their tales between their legs.
