Re: Talking Pictures TV

No, it is all great education Sir !!!
I would also rate that movie in my top twenty of all time and the trilogy itself is absolutely brilliant.
What are your top 10 Westerns?
Personally my favourite Western is "High Noon" with Gary Cooper.

Re: What comics did you buy today?




As promised. Here's some new annual additions to my growing collection. Featured are two Beano annuals from 1960 & 62, three Dandy annuals 1959 ,60, 65 and the last Black Bob annual from 1965. All in excellent order too, I might add. :)

Re: Doctor Who on U&Eden channel


Years ago Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais the writers of Porridge and the Likely Lads, were on Radio 5 Live and I sent a text saying that whereas their two shows and other UK sitcoms were written by one or two people and were like fly on the wall films with natural dialogue, US sitcoms were ...

Re: Doctor Who on U&Eden channel



TLC comes to freeview next Tuesday, they're showing about 12 hours of The Big Bang Theory non stop. I'm not a fan of modern US comedy.


I loved Becker with Ted Danson and Dax (#1) from DS9.


OMG I only recently watched "Deep Space 9" and I knew she looked familiar !!!
Thank you !!!

Re: Boys Adventure Comic blog


Anybody here know where 'Nicodemus the wizard' was first printed? The original art was up for sale recently, looks like a '70s annual strip to me but would love to know more!

Re: Doctor Who on U&Eden channel

Yes I saw adverts for it tonight.
I don't mind the "Big Bang Theory" but agree with you that most US modern comedy is not wonderful.
I did love "Cheers" back in the 80s.

Re: Talking Pictures TV


No, I only have freeview, or 'Council tv' as my mate Wayne calls it. I was watching Star Trek TNG last week and a dig found some 19th century relics, Data picked up a Colt Revolver and referred to it as an 1873 Colt Double Action Revolver. I immediately shouted at the TV "rubbish it's a Colt ...

Re: Talking Pictures TV


In 1968 I was looking through the spinner rack for comics and noticed a magazine called Real West. True stories of the old west. I bought it regularly from then on as well as similar true Western magazines, I now have several hundred. I've always liked westerns and the real wild west.

I think you are right but I just don't understand why they only show 3.5 hrs of tv and then repeat it constantly for 24 hours.

Yes they were favoured by Confederate generals during the Civil War. Industry and factories were all in the North so the South had to get firearms from overseas hence the French Le Mat. If you go to the Battle Orders website you can buy an authentic replica for £89 as well as the Mare's Leg cut ...
