Being Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 apparently involves sticking boyo at the end of every sentence ..

It’s Agent 21 and his continuing mission to overthrow the Fascist State in Britain.

Rejoining Fireball XL5 where we left off last week ..

Just like the Starship Enterprise in 1967’s “Tomorrow is Yesterday”. The crew of Fireball are picking up primitive radio signals and the craft is being buzzed by ancient aircraft..

Is Alan Fennell’s cheque in the post yet?

The last few weeks have seen TV Century 21 reduce the Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 to stereotypes and commit some flagrant abuse of the Scots dialect..

Welcome back Mike!

Trailed back in mid October..

The first instalment of Alan Fennell’s “Time Slip”

⚠️ Title may contain spoilers

Did the crew learn nothing from the tv episode called, funny enough, “Faster Than Light”?
