Might go to bed earlier than planned as there can't be many things to leave you with a warmer sense of wellbeing than watching #GurneySlade have a conversation with a cow... #RewindTV

In case you hadn't seen, the lovely people at @rewindtv.bsky.social are repeating The Strange World of Gurney Slade. First episode tonight at 9 and then Sundays and Saturdays at the same time. If you've never been down this weirdly wonderful rabbit hole it's well worth it... #GurneySlade

Title screen for the black and white TV series The Strange World of Gurney Slade. It shows Gurney, played by Anthony Newley, walking down a suburban street, looking pensive.
Just finishing watching THE STRANGE WORLD OF GURNEY SLADE starring Anthony Newley.
Didn’t know what to expect. And now... wow!
Surreal, bonkers, brilliant & funny. Poignant too.
And that final episode - genius.
Absolutely loved it!

(Now got the music stuck in my head too...)

So did I! Well I liked the first one so much I now want the DVD...Oh. Only 5 were made but without seeing the rest I would argue that at least it didn't overstay its (limited at the time) welcome. Not a laugh-a-minute comedy but there's at least three excellent jokes in the first one. #GurneySlade

Caught up on that episode of #GurneySlade last night on Rewind TV. What a unique and stunningly original show, not just for its time but any time. I can’t even begin to imagine how ordinary viewers would have approached or understood it back in 1960.

Wow, what have I just seen! Admit I had never even heard of #GurneySlade but it's both weird and completely wonderful. Incredibly self-referential making it feel way ahead of its time. Well done @rewindtv.bsky.social for this gem...

Well that was incredible. Similar to watching the birth of four different television formats simultaneously all as part of one television programme. Absolutely astonishing work #GurneySlade

Experimentation, taking a risk. A totally alien concept to ITV now.

Watching #GurneySlade. So this must have been the point in the 1960s when the drugs really kicked in...

This is like an extended Vision On sketch with speech. Gurney's fed up with eggs #GurneySlade

It's about 8 minutes to go until "The Strange World of Gurney Slade" on Rewind TV (Freeview 92 if it's in your area). Well worth seeing as a piece of landmark television at the dawn of the sixties that's hardly ever repeated on broadcast television, with the obvious hashtag being #GurneySlade
