Now that you chaps have discovered Robert Newton it’s surely about time you did This Happy Breed!
Admittedly it’s set 1919-39, but this one DOES have John Mills in it. I also don’t think you’ve done anything with Stanley Holloway yet, which surely has to be rectified!
Also Celia Johnson!

Glad you mentioned Anzacs, which I stumbled upon by accident when I was off school in 1987 and there was an episode every afternoon for a week. Was pretty good in a made-for-TV kind of way.
Amazing what we had to put up with before they invented proper TV like Bargain Hunt!

Thanks for this chaps. The masochist in me now quite fancies watching this again. Amazingly, despite much of it being set in 1917, it somehow manages to be possibly the most 80s film of all time!
I do wonder if the opportunity for making a serious Biggles film ended after they made Aces High.

I don’t know how you chaps do it, but you’ve done it again!
Let’s hope you can do the same for Biggles!

Finally a proper film! Expecting a short pod though as there’s absolutely nothing implausible or problematic here!

Fantastic victory for Fem, but I’m gutted for Lucinda Brand. She’s ridden everything to win this season, chasing all three of the classifications when many of her rivals were training in the sunshine. She’s the rider of the season, even if she doesn’t take the biggest prize. #Cyclocross #Lievin2025

“The UCI bans repeated inhalation of carbon monoxide…” Does this mean an end to motor pacing and Derny races? 🚗🚴♂️🛵🚴♂️
