Camp old nonsense, vintage telly, wide ranging music tastes, centre-left politics. Brought to you by a middle aged middle class gay who responds well to snacks.

I watched this one for the first time in ages, over Christmas. It’s awful, but at least it’s entertaining. I can think of many more stories less enjoyable than this one.

I loved the Mrs Bailey story (other than Jess Conrad). The episode that begins with her in her chalet, curtains billowing, traffic noise echoing, was v melodramatic. And when she seduced/slapped the farmhand!

Together is absolutely splendid. The reformatting between s1 and s2, that remarkable final scene. They don’t make telly like that anymore

I can’t decide if the original actress had a cough or whether her glass of sherry went down the wrong hole. Anyway, Wendy has landed 😁

Between-episodes head transplant in #Crossroads brings us Wonderful Wendy Williams! I’ve been waiting for this! 😁
She’s such a real fave of mine, beloved by #vintagetv #classictv and #DoctorWho fans, and she’s straight into a blazing row about test tube babies. Hooray!

I think this every time I use it. Sometimes it tries to get me to book a hotel as well. Honestly, Trainline, take it easy. Don’t hassle me.

I’ve also never seen GoT, but HdH is magnificent if somewhat Pollard-heavy in later series

Could she have put the Christmas decs away, and they were wrapped in that paper in 1967 so she’s chosen to wrap the decs in a fresh one and read the old one?

John Bennett was never out of work. 190 credits on IMDb incl lead roles in drama series and nice character roles in Hollywood films. His IMDb thumbnail is DW, showing half him and half Christopher Benjamin.
No wonder some actors want to distance themselves from the show.
