The Young Ones, Cash, when they turn the set around and shoot from a different side... it is REALLY the same dimensions? It never appears to be to me, it looks narrower?

I've only seen one episode of Space: 1999 and that was YEARS ago, but it felt... clinical?

I'm sure you might have read that the US buyers just wanted the space stuff, and so if it had continued for a second season it would basically be Space: 1999. Broadly speaking.

For me, the best episodes of UFO were the Earth-based ones and it's not even close. A shame they would have been discarded

I do think he had range limitations, as seen in Mindbender, but it's not a serious issue.

Some truly surprising plot twists in that show. In some episodes, anyway.

He’s like, “Come on, you know what to do”

"For my rat fans, I love you" - I actually bought that. I feel a bit ashamed, though not majorly.

Fawlty Towers, "Basil the Rat": the Major spots the offending creature in the bar.

Brand new on Dirty Feed: what was special about the Fawlty Towers episode "Basil the Rat"?

Short version: it had two days in the studio, while every other episode only had one.

Yet again, speculating on missing Doctor Who episodes. I'm excited by the thought of episodes returning so in a vacuum of real news, let's have a guess. I thought I'd put this in 'print' so I can look back and see how wrong I was. Also I haven't read Richard Molesworth's Wiped in a long time so some of my thoughts maybe a little inaccurate. Anyway, here goes.

It's a shame when stuff like that happens as it's not really Russ Abbot's fun, is it? Though I guess the TV show had the same writers?

Wipeout contestant reaction of the week...

Although Greenclaws is correct on the IMDb, I see Ester's Adrian is down as director of Tricky Business and Corners, which this seems to allude to - I'll put in corrections there now.

Had to have some workmen round this week, and forgot that one of the drawers they needed to get into contained all the books I'd bought for Blankety Blank research.

My sense of pride evaporated as he moved the autobiography of Syd Little out of his way to complete his work.

Wipeout clip of the week...

Currently adorning my shelves and born this day 1918 – the late great Mrs Mills!

Any suggestions on how to get age verified on BlueSky? I don't particularly want to share my face or credit card to read DMs.

@agnes-guano.bsky.social I can't get into my dms any more.

I was going to dm you something that contained the word "please", along with 16/10/1987 and 11/12/1987.

I had to listen to it and go through his book for his BB appearance a couple of years ago.

I wouldn't have noticed, but she had a fairly unusual name.

The first time she was on, he goes "Oh, I met you years ago on Bob's Full House."

The second time... nothing.

"What do you, you're a teacher?"

Yes, Bob. She told you that the last time.

Look at this for shocker of the week... a contestant appearing on Wipeout (left) in 2000, then on the right it's 2002 and they're appearing on... Wipeout.

And Bob Monkhouse doesn't mention it:

I believe there was also a 12" version of that?

The 1969 Marble Arch reissue of Steptoe And Son definitely reminds me of something. Anybody fancy a Steptoe versus Alien spinoff?

There must be a simpler way to verify yourself on this site than showing your face or credit card to a third party company?

Doesn't sound dodgy at all.

Has anyone DMed me today?

I've got chat notification, but now I'm having to do a "show us your face or credit card to prove you're an adult" before I can read it.

That's not something I want to do. Any way round this?
