what Film / TV are you watching RIGHT NOW

[Ghosttrain]

Re the Wrestling i think you are both right it depended on which part of the country you lived in. I lived in Northampton at the time and it was def.from 4.00 onwards ( i think i am probably one of the oldest members here)............but for me it was always Johnny Eagle ..........i loved the Tattoo of the..............i will let you use your imagination on his chest...........

[Bunny]

I cant remember him. Just Daddy, Haystacks, Fit Finlay and Kendo Nagasaki. World of Sport. Blimey thay brings back the 1970's.

Hi Bunny don't remember Fit Findlay  remember the others,i was getting into music,girls,booze and other delights by then.........For me it was Mick Mcmanus, Adrian Street, Jackie Pallo and of course Johnny Eagle..Innocent time eh....

[Anna Woman von NRW]

Wrestling on World of Sport  Dickie Davies  .......

Hated it  My Nan & Grandad used to watch it and for me it meant hours as a kid stuck in their little front room on the dreaded visit day  minutes stretched into hours and my Nan smoked like a chimney  - I don't miss it 

[Master Ray]

Dickie Davies and his fine moustache are very disappointed in you, Anna...

This is two topics in one ,What made you smile or laugh today plus What Film / TV are you watching RIGHT NOW.........................The White Paper Debacle In The House Of Commons.........Like something from Yes Minister...you could'nt make it up            Strong And Stable  ? ? ?.

[Master Ray]

Yes Minister?  Nope, The Thick Of It is the finest political comedy show ever.  And it makes me smile and laugh.      

Seriously, check out this show if you haven't already, it's awesome.  Clip here...

It's a show i remember,but never watched.Looking at the clip it is something i would enjoy.

[Master Ray]

Deffo get on 'The Thick Of It', a show that proves that swearing can be both big and clever!   

[Master Ray]

OK, this is a real 'blast from the past'... does anyone remember a BBC 'Play For Today' episode called 'Our Day Out'?  Originally broadcast in the 70's, repeated in the 80's which is when I probably saw it, I think we were shown it in school for some reason I can't remember...

It's about a bunch of under-privilaged kids from Liverpool taken on a school trip into Wales for the day.  And it's superb.  Very funny, sometimes sad, great performances (mostly from a non-professional cast), and, yes, it lays on the politics a bit strong at times but it's a great watch.  Stumbled across it on Youtube today.  Loved seeing it again after so many years.

If you remember it (or not), it's well worth a look, here's the Youtube link...

Remember it well ,also saw it when my son was at school performed as a play on stage about 20 years ago.......excellent stuff,Willy Russell usually produces pretty powerful writing.

[Bunny]

The Hateful Eight....again. Never get tired of it.

[Master Ray]

it is a fine film indeed.  Could possibly have done with a bit of tighter editing in the first half but what a cast, everyone of them cranking it up to 11.

[Pol]

Mad Max 2 , think fury road has surpassed it . Very similar films tho . For it's time 1 of the best films.
