After about 35 yrs of curiosity, I've finally solved a question I've had since I was 11.
'What make of TV is that orange one seen in James Bond's room at Piz Gloria in On Her Majesty's Secret Service?'
After many internet searches/ questioning of bemused adult relatives, I've found it.
MURPHY!

I'll still never get used to the way most (West Riding) Yorkshire people pronounce thirty and forty as THERT-TIH and FORT-TIH with the 'ty' phrased as a separate word.

Not to be seduced by those red lips

Rewind TV has started showing 90s sitcom Haggard today, so on Wednesday 9th July you can see Paul Darrow as Mad Jack, in full Darrowing glory.

I watched the first half of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood last night.
1. The editing is rambling, the film is overlong, and self-indulgently directed.
2 Dicaprio + Pitt are 👍. More of that pairing please.
3 The hippy compound sequence is Lynch-level tense.
I'll finish the review tomorrow.

What do you mean you've never watched the Octopussy jet sequence with the Empire Strikes Back asteroid field music?
