I also love toilet humour, which is quite a big thing in Italy... As you're into botty burps, this may make you chuckle:

No comment on any of the above, Piggurs?

:D Just seen this, but Mrs. P is watching The Brits, which is probably similar. I imagine having the sound turned on is probably important, so It'll get a proper watch in the morning. Considering you said the Italians appreciate toilet humour, not many of the "victims" look amused...Quote:

So did you turn it up, daftee, and listen for the farty sounds?:D
Marco.
Italians do like a bit of opera - I'm sure he could find work there :) He reminds me a bit of the folk who used to do TV show "Balls of Steel". If you never got to see that and you can find it, I think you would really like that. It was British too, not American :)

Some more balls of steel
What's this? Actually from a film, Roman Polanski's 'The Tenant' 1976. Filmed in France I believe.
Looks a decent quality all-in-one unit.

its a helium 30 type 1003.. design by Alain Carre in 1970

Ah. It's certainly unusual. Would probably fetch a few bob now with those kitch looks.
Tape deck and EQ unit with funky orange LEDs on 'Air Crash Investigation'. Note the textbook 'smiley face' setting. I'd have thought that would be the opposite of how you'd set it if you were listening to a cockpit voice recording but there you go:

Should get a decent stereo image

Kind of cheating because its a YT video, but a good one.
Star Wars spacecraft modelling studio (original 1977 movie).
Check out the dodgy speaker placement!

Tonight on one of my favourite TV programmes, I spied one of my favourite speakers, in the control room of Rockfield Studios, which is an amazing place for any lover of rock music [count me in]:

Just look at those babies - twin 15" drivers, side by side... AWESOME [I *will* own a pair before popping my clogs, lol]. And good to know that some of my fav albums will have been mixed on them!
THEMZ PROPA......:exactly:

Which 'origin story' do you go for?Quote:

Saw this the other day (not actually on TV just browsing but I'm linking it to this post!Quote:

A guy using the exact same Koss headphones as me!:D With some Sony gear in the background.. Check out the rest of the system though, must've been state-of-the-art in its day:
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/FROR0C.jpg
Some close-up shots elsewhere during the programme revealed that the electronics were all top models from Sony. Tried to see what the turntable was, but the camera didn't get in close enough. Probably Sony. I think the whole system was.
Cool pad and system though, eh?:cool:
Marco.
whats she wearing :stalks: hair is astonishing too:eyebrows:
Possibly one of these although his one likes shinier? And it looks like he's got two amps?Quote:

RTR is a Sony TC-765, tuner an ST-A-6B, TAF-6B amplifier. I reckon. No idea about the deck or the speakers. Don't think the speakers are Sony, they sort of look familiar though.
All from about 1978.

None of the ones I knew :).Quote:

The Sony turntable is a PS-8750.
Yup, and it's quite a funny one, too (from 1980)! As a teenager it was often the last thing I watched before bed on a Sunday night. Mum and I used to watch all the episodes regularly, along with with stuff like Thriller, Hammer House of Horror, Raffles, etc. Great TV progs they simply don't make now!Quote:

I've probably told you before, but I was in an episode of Tales of the Unexpected, filmed in about 1980 - for a brief second! I was 11 and a carol singer in the episode The Party starring Robert Morley. I have a photo from the set and his autograph somewhere in the loft. It was filmed in Norwich in August and my school choir were all dressed in scarves, hats, gloves and winter coats on a sweltering hot day!
Yeah, I think I remember you mentioning it. Would be a giggle if you could scan in the pic and post it!:D
Marco.
Absolutely! Found them a bit scary as a kid but now they’re mostly quite amusing.Quote:

Lol, quality. I also love the theme tune, and always have done!
And yes, episodes used to scare me a little too, especially the one about Royal Jelly...:eek: Aside from that, my favourite episodes are The Landlady, The Hitchhiker, Stranger in Town, Have a Nice Death', and The Sound Machine.
Very amusing now though, and I just love the 70s/early 80s decors, and snapshots in general of life as it once was!
Marco.
P.S Were the speakers also from Sony?
Not sure - can’t really make them out properly.Quote:

The Sony gear is very tasty: TA-F6B with its matching tuner and cassette deck.
Is that the one where he thinks his whole company are ignoring him when he retires and they're all going off to a disco, so he burns down the pub? But it turns out they were going to his surprise retirement party.Quote:

The scariest TV memory I have of that time (I would have been about 8) was the Hammer House of Horror episode called the House that Bled to Death where a pipe sprayed blood all over a children's birthday party or something.
Funnily enough I watched all that but I wasn't allowed to watch The Sweeney because of the violence.
I think the Professionals was Sunday night. I remember my younger brothers always pleading to be allowed to stay up for it.
Hart To Hart and That's Life were on a bit earlier in the evening, along with Battlestar Galactica.
Are you sure? From my memory, it was a Monday night, which seems to the case, as stated here: http://www.mark-1.co.uk/Professionals/profprod.htmQuote:

It was defo originally shown on a Monday night, but it could've been moved later to a Sunday... I agree though; it was one of the best TV series EVER!:)
Marco.
Yes, that’s the one Lawrence. The “pub” where the fire was simulated had long since stopped being a pub, and it was the upstairs of the Body Shop. I remember it was quite a talking point at the time as all of the shops in the area of filming had Christmas decorations put up, much to the bemusement of everyone including the local media!Quote:
