Robin Hill too. Quite brilliant in an early Ben Wheatley film 'Down Terrace' from 2009. Well worth a watch.

Plucked loads off it over the summer. Good quality, nice heat. Bought from a local family run garden centre as usual.

True that. Never underestimate the 'Lorraine' viewers too.

One series I've always wanted to see is 'Kolchak The Night Stalker'. I believe it came about from 2 TV movies that drew record audiences at the time. Has there or will there be a UK release on blu ray at all? This and 'Night Gallery' are all I need to feed my early USA 70s tv yearning.

Got a few tunes on in the kitchen whilst stirring a particularly ferocious chilli on the hob. Ron Grainers main theme to 'The Omega Man' is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard.

Still get a lump in my throat when I hear the 'Thunderbirds' theme. Anderson programmes meant so much to me and still do #strictly

That's 'Enemy of the World' by the way in case you were wondering. She didn't disappoint either.

12 years ago today I was looking forward at last to seeing the delectable Margaret Hickey in 'Enemy' action.

Heard 'Don't Call Me Baby' by Voice of the Beehive today for the first time in an age and had quite forgotten what an utter tune that is.

Loved the episode 'Alpha Child', just watched in my Space1999@50 rewatch. Shame at the end it wasn't Cyd Hayman in those shiny silver hotpants instead of Julian Glover though. Huge opportunity missed I reckon. Mind you, we all saw her arse in 'Manhunt' so shouldn't really complain πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‰πŸ™‚

Best thing I ever bought in 1974. The original. With me since I was 7, and it still terrifies me.. #uncannycommunity

To be honest, I'm still not over the fact that Vincent Price was once on the panel of 'Blankety Blank'.

Spouse & I watching 'The Great Escape'. Both remembering watching it as kids at Christmas in the 1970s. Huge memories infused as a result of this film. Both now wincing as Ives drops the food tin and walks trance-like towards the wire..
