@cjsnowdon Didn’t Graham Taylor take England to the USA for a friendly in 1993? I remember staying up well into the small hours to watch England lose to the USA.
Boomers seem to forget that fast food used to be a normal, everyday expense for them because it was affordable. You could get a burger easily on minimum wage, it wasn’t some fancy treat you had once a year as a reward for pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.
@BestPaulSays Agree; he may not be popular, but if JNT hadn’t stuck around Doctor Who would have ended much earlier as nobody else wanted to produce it.
BTW “Producer of Doctor Who” is on JNT’s gravestone.
@daveainsworth63@TalkingPicsTV Saw this last year; superb and made me nostalgic for the New Romantic era.
Cameos from Gary Numan, Simon Le Bon, the Human League and Tony Hadley.
The song at the end is terrific too and could have been a hit if released in the early 80s.
VCR at the ready.
@TheCyberdevil The trouble is, the BBC never has faith in their own genre shows. Look at the list over the last twenty-five years and then notice how many were axed unfinished.
Also, reboots reveal a lack of bravery or a lack of ideas for something new.
@MagesGuildOrg Been listening to McGann’s Big Finish stuff since I found Storm Warning in HMV in Oxford Street in 2001.
Such a shame one of the best Doctors has so little screen time.
Eighth Doctor Big Finish is practically all I buy now.
@BestPaulSays@YouTube I recommend his podcast What Most People think, which has been going on for around six years. The ones where he had Simon Evans guesting are particularly good.
@BestPaulSays My memory of this was getting up for my paper round and hearing the news on Radio One (very early morning). I forget who the DJ was, but they kept playing excerpts from a (then) recent interview with Lennon that Andy Peebles had done.
@BestPaulSays IIRC in 1969/70 the American money pulled out of Shepperton and so my dad was laid off.
Years later, doing a summer job with my dad, I met a couple of carpenters who worked on James Bond films around the same time my dad was at Shepperton.
