Failed the audition for Blockbusters and still bitter about it.
Mostly ranting about films, old TV, Top of the Pops and The Archers. Nearly halfway through the Crossroads box set!

From the Z-Cars episode Mugs: James Aubrey (11 years after "Lord of the Flies", one of his first roles as an adult actor) delivers an amazing monologue about the industrial charms of Newtown accompanied by Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Claire". It sounds like something by The Streets.

Some incredible male fashion choices in Francis Durbridge's "The Doll" on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social - John Fraser's flared suit and platform heels combo, Geoffrey Whitehead's selection of silk cravats, and best of all William Russell's fantastic bouffant!

Great moment on this week’s Sgt Cork on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social - when the widow visits one of the directors his moustache starts to come unglued! He carries on but eventually rips it off completely for the end of the scene!

Blimey I'm now having a Proustian rush as I've just remembered the circumstances of watching that Charlie Daniels Band clip at the time (I was at a friend's house, swore about it, and got told off!) #totp

![A concept album, Songs from Whistle Down the Wind,
was released in 1998 in advance of the show's West End
premiere. It features 12 of the songs from the show
performed by various popular recording artists and West
End theatre stars who have collaborated with Lloyd
Webber and Steinman over the years. Lottie Mayor, who
had been cast as Swallow in the West End production,
appears on the album accompanied by Lloyd Webber.
Steinman and Lloyd Webber were executive
producers.[19]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6hocmhdpduiq2neqyiay375l/bafkreieyt5y66llxtivytmgp43uxpnumsnttwffh2p27rojp3xm6bwbz6q@jpeg)
