I agree and sympathise - if it's any use I used to have professional dealings with a flatmate of his in his early musical days who worked in the theatre - she regularly raved about what a great bloke he was to live with - and how much he enjoyed his cooking.

Well, your writing and recommendations are utterly boss. Hope this works out!

I had always dreaded it, but I think it also bites hard because of the huge chunk of our lives they were here for; in every photo for 17 years, a constant. Kids grew up with them etc etc. All the best with your grief process, however you manage it.

It's a fascinating watch for the fashions, too, and some veteran big-hitting names - Elsa Lanchester, Joan Crawford, Ossie Davis. A young pup called Spielberg worked on some of them - don't know what happened to him.

I would imagine the title sequence alone would seem instantly familiar - all these dormant memories lying there for the cult TV sleeper agents! The tale that sprang to mind was The Escape Route - see if if you can find that. Chilling stuff. Won't spoilt it by explaining the story.

What an amazing man he was. Having always had vague ‘you shouldn’t be up watching this’ memories of The Night Gallery as a 70s kid, I zoomed through the box set during those seemingly endless lockdown weeks. Some of it was admittedly terrible, but there were a few stories that leave a bit on you.

Aw, Jane. That’s lovely. We lost our Syd and Nancy within three months - they left less a hole, more a gaping void. It’s been six weeks since Nancy went, I still can’t talk about either of them without welling up, but take a lot of solace from others’ similar testimonies. Such fantastic creatures.

I loved it at 17. And I watched it a lot. Okay, 40 years have raised a lot more issues than I was aware of then, but terrible ending aside - it really is terrible - it has some sassy putdowns, a terrific ensemble cast and who doesn’t love to hear that classic song, Wang Chung’s Fire In The Twilight?

They set ‘em up, I knock ‘em down

Could be a lively and inexpensive Tuesday night

My dad used to teach in Handsworth and this record was always on at home. You can’t learn anything but hate from Jenrick.

Oh no, it’s like picking up with an old friend

The time of the Big Coat is approaching

It was worth the wait to roll the years back. Find myself ears
deep in the six-disc box now…

Hell yeah. Have been a drummer and a bass player, but this is one last push to try and learn ‘proper’ guitar. Thanks for the encouragement

It’ll be on Louder Than War when I untangle it all

She’s good. An old bandmate of mine from Sheff worked with her, I think

Not much in it, is there? Neither brought much joy to my folks downstairs…

You could debate this forever, but that was the one for me, that cold, cold menace

It was a busy musical graveyard

It’s flawless. This and Pornography were the touchstones/tombstones of my youth

Take me in and dry the rain… been a loooong time

Massive slabby riff 🔥

Other one, even

It's brilliant and so true. I overlooked it because of the one. But I was only 11.

I've just finished reading Budgie's book. They had my favourite guitarist and drummer. Juju just gets better with every passing year. I was 13 when it came out, and loved it, but I appreciate its heart of darkness a lot more now. 😆

46 years old, but never lacking relevance. Just noticed that its Rico and Dick Cuthell on the brass here...

Of late, I have been applying my guitar ham fists to the learning of this riff. McGeoch was a genius, such command of light and shade. It’s wonderfully satisfying to be able to play it yourself though, no matter how comparatively terrible it sounds.

I use this a lot. It’s a terrific resource.
