    Also poor people generally kept their houses clean even if they were a bit shabby. There's a difference between shabby and dirty.

    Only a few wealthy people like doctors had big American-style 'fridges back then. Not single parents on benefits.

    No 1930s semi-detached houses have huge American-style 'basements'. And even if they did they would be called 'cellars', not basements. And no-one in the UK keeps their automatic washing machine in the cellar. Even if they had a washing machine back in the 1970s which, if they were on the bones of their arses like the family in this film, I can guarantee they didn't.

    That's enough for now.

    At least Blakes 7 is back on tonight. Series 3. Not seen these since they were originally broadcast so it's all almost new to me, with it being 40 odd years ago.

    Not enjoyed a TV series as much since The Sopranos finished.

    More madness now with Dad's Army, the film. 1971. Original cast.






    It did well at the UK box office.

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I watched that again just the other week. Really good film version unlike most of the 70s sit com big screen efforts ('On The Buses' excepted).

    The village they filmed it in has barely changed in the last 50 years.

    I know, but I still can't get it. Retuning TV's doesn't help, maybe it's a regional thing.

    could be but seems odd that it's not available in London.
