I’m onto episode 8 of The Prisoner. Is there a better opening title sequence on any other series, if there is let me know. The Prisoner is just perfect, it sets up the whole story of the series and Ron Grainer’s theme is unbeatable. More the pity that most series made now just show the title card and sometimes not even showing the names of the stars or crew.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Tonight I watched Being Frank: The Frank Gardner Story. The British journalist who was shot six times while reporting from Saudi Arabia, sixteen years ago. He suffered a spinal injury which left him partly paralysed. In this documentary he shares his remarkable story and talks with others who have also suffered spinal injuries.
I've started watching "Star cops" on Britbox another 80 British Sci-Fi show. Some good
stories but laughable special effects. You could see they were trying to go for an
" Outland" vibe but sadly with the budget of a school play.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
I’ve started watching Hammer House Of Horror on BritBox. I didn’t get to see this when it first showed in 1980, and I am enjoying it very much. The Peter Cushing episode, The Silent Scream is especially good.

Watching Survivors ( BBC 1975) on Britbox, given we're in a pandemic at the moment, I
thought it's a suitable time. The basic story is a virus from China spread across the world
killing millions.

I'm excited to be part of the next Generation of " The greatest Generation "
In years ahead, younger people will look upon us as braver that they could
ever hope to be. Songs will be written, stories told, movies will be made
about how resilient we were !!
In the future whenever a bottom is wiped, they'll think of us

I’d never heard of this before, I could only stand it for 10 minutes before turning it off!

I’m onto episode 7, it’s pretty good but getting a bit “samey”, I will stick with it though for now.

I’ve just finished Truth Seekers, on Amazon. Starring Nick Frost, Simon Pegg and Malcolm McDowell, this is 8 episodes of brilliant comedy horror, where the comedy doesn’t detract from the story. It’s about a group of amateur paranormal investigators, it’s clever, witty and has plenty of tense scenes. Recommended.

I’ve just looked it up. It’s attributed to Jasper Carrot.
Jasper told the gag in 1983 - it was first used in the radio show Radio Active in 1981...told by Phil Pope and the gag was written by Geoffrey Perkins -{
It's amazing what Sir Miles knows, I remember learning that Michael Caine
never actually said " Not a lot of people know that " ....... Although I
still use the line doing a Michael Caine voice.

But what I know is usually crap ) plus it’s Beatles related -{
The Michael Caine saying was actually from Peter Sellers...which I think everyone knows

When John Lennon was asked if Ringo was the best drummer in the world, he replied, ‘He’s not even the best drummer in The Beatles!’ )
My son watches this, he thinks it’s brilliant.

Actually, John Lennon NEVER said that...it was a gag from a radio show in 1981 (Radio Active)... -{
Oh, an urban myth, many of those around, but never mind, I still think it’s funny )
Yes, a complete myth...although Macca is more than handy with the sticks...
