Drama about the deep and quiet pain of everyday life used to be everywhere on television. Not so much now. I miss it.

The Saint: Roger Moore and Katherine Woodville (Mrs Patrick Macnee) in The Scorpion (1964). 4K scan from 1960’s 35mm print with original intermission cards.

It seems like the reputation on Ghostwatch continues to rise each year which makes it all the more bizarre that the BBC have never repeated it or made it accessible on iPlayer.
50 years! 😲
I caught The New Avengers on it's mid 90's BBC2 repeat run and the odd VHS purchase.
I prefer it to the 60's series 🙊
And that initial title sequence was the better of the two used.

In series 1 of Bullseye, on the prize board, Jim would announce a funny ‘bad’ prize if it went in the wrong segment - “You’ve won DIY brain surgery” or “A trip to resurface the M6”. But nothing can prepare you for this gem #itwasadifferenttime

Fucking hell fire. Turn on this 24/7 corrie thing for the first time and it’s the 1979 episode where Gail turns 21, gets engaged, Elsie finds out and Audrey appears for the first time.
This could be the end of other channels for me.

We are sad to hear that actor Michael Forest, who starred in the Star Trek original series episode "Who Mourns For Adonais?" as Apollo, has died at the age of 97. Our deepest condolences to his family and friends.

When #Scrubs cleverly used a reoccurring character (Dr Briggs played by Elizabeth Banks) in their intro to change an error in their intro 5 seasons in. ❤️❤️
