It worked out in Grant's favour, if it hadn't been for him changing things up in the 2010's, we'd never have got Phoenix Buchanan. youtu.be/sh41E9B5gmA?...

They probably did it again with The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! You think they maybe Hugh's mixed up as Jackman would have been game for this. But it worked to their advantage, as Hugh Grant worked in the part and was trying then to stop being typecast ever again. See also Cloud Atlas.
A bit like with Kilburn, that sounds like a suburb of Glasgow!
Troma founder @lloydkaufman.bsky.social once referred to Mary Whitehouse as Grandma Blowjob! π
Poor Rog. He must have been hard up during The Who's fallow years between 1982-89.
I see ITV have a new series starting next Monday called Secret Service. Not to be confused with The Secret Service, Gerry Anderson's final Supermarionation work starring Stanley Unwin as a crime solving vicar. Although truth be told, I'd rather ITV tried something like this. youtu.be/hT2m2Kx3S-0?...
I hope he gets another go at the wrestling! π
I refuse to believe that no-one in the UK wanted Kenny Cantor, not even the smaller regions like Grampian, Channel, Ulster or Border could find anything for poor Kenny.
A big thumbs up to @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social for showing the Channel 4 paranormal series Fortean TV presented by Reverend Lionel Fanthorpe and from the producers of Eurotrash. I found an ultra-rare Network DVD of this in Blackpool a couple of years back. I bought it on the spot. π
You look amazing Josie! π
YAY! BARGAIN HUNT WAS IN CARLISLE TODAY! ππ₯³
@kimjustice.bsky.social One for you π
Gerry Anderson's final Supermarionation work The Secret Service, which he cast Stanley Unwin as a crime solving priest, is coming to Blu-Ray!
Even during the great Gerry Anderson revival of the 90's, The Secret Service didn't even get repeated on BBC2. youtu.be/G_7wM-jTh2s?...
Why does it look like Jesus is wanking the fascist Wotsit off? π
That's put a mental image of Bunty doing this advert! youtu.be/r0wDjWOnHcY?...
πΆSkinner with his crazy explanations!
The superintendent's gonna need his medication,
When he hears Skinner's lame exaggerations,
There'll be trouble in town, tonight!πΆ
@nekodiva.com If you want to come along tonight and see what all the fuss is about. π
Well done Kim! I should follow in your example, I'll have to start walking to and from work instead of getting the bus, especially as nicer weather is on the way.
A few years ago, Rupert Murdoch tried to take full control of Sky. Our Government were uneasy because he owns several newspapers here. They gave him an ultimatum, he could have 100% control of Sky, but he'd have to sell Sky News, or vice versa. Murdoch blinked, then Comcast showed up and beat him.
One for @nikkijay.games perhaps? This makes Come Back, Mrs. Noah look like Are You Being Served. π
I've still got a pack of 10 blank and unused MiniDiscs I got from Border Television 20 years ago.
Phantom of the Paradise (1974)
Blow Out (1981)
Scarface (1983)
Body Double (1984)
It's bad enough when live subtitles cock stuff up, AI generated subtitles can seriously do one.
I'll only join the army if it's going to be like this.
That's so funny because it's true, plus your American accent is spot on. π
When the American humorist James Thurber came to London in 1959 to appear on a show made by Associated-Rediffusion. He was quoted as saying "Associated-Rediffusion? That doesn't sound like a TV company. That sounds like a very serious neurological disorder."
Rediffusion means to broadcast again. π
Never mind, I found it!
One for @nekodiva.com and @nikkijay.games It's his way and the Highway! πβοΈ

I've been to the one in Wembley twice, over the road from this national landmark.

@rwf-backoffice.bsky.social @nxpwrestling.bsky.social Have you got his wrestling intro in tribute?
