Trailer for the very first episode of Heartbeat.
Trailer broadcast before Inspector Morse on Wed 8th April 1992…Heartbeat premiered that Friday the 10th (odd to think of it on any day except Sunday, but it didn’t move to Sundays until S2)

Ah, Sunday mornings in the 90s…was there anything better than relaxing in front of UK Golds double bill of Doctor Who and Blake’s 7.
A quick look through listings suggest this particular double bill was on the 4th December 1994.

Haven’t been posting much…I’m sort of blocking out a lot of the outside world and just trying to exist from day to day without feeling too depressed about the state of the world.
Plus I’m still completely addicted to playing Stardew Valley, so spending most of my time on my iPad playing that.

Still watching more versions of “A Christmas Carol”…tonight the atmospheric animation by Richard Williams (and Chuck Jones) from 1971. Really captures the feeling of it being a ghost story…reunites Alistair Sim and Michael Hordern from the ‘51 film

Ah, pottery throwdown time…always a joyful watch (although having to grit my teeth every time Rachel Riley is on the screen, can’t stand her)

Well, I mostly enjoyed The War Games in colour…it’s one of my favourite stories so I was interested to see what they’d done to it. The editing was a little too frentic for me, and too much was cut out. And the music was a little overpowering…subtlety doesn’t seem to be in their vocabulary.

Day 23 of Advent, and time for Minnie the Minx. Here’s 3 strips, the first 2 by her creator Leo Baxendale, the 3rd by her longest serving artist Jim Petrie who drew the strip from 1962 to 2001

Day 22 of Advent, and perhaps a lesser known strip, but chosen because it was always one of my favourites. From Whizzer and Chips, debuting in 1981, Store Wars drawn mainly by Jim Watson

Well, my first viewing of The Mezzotint, and like a lot of the Gattis Ghost Stories, it’s a mixed bag. Mostly very good, but I don’t think he’s a particularly skilled director. And Francis Barber is just terrible and hammy.

Having a nicely spooky night…watched Inside Number 9 (Bones of St Nicholas), Christopher Lee’s Ghost Stories reading of Number 13, and now “The Mezzotint”.
