You could have told me after I had finished eating my breakfast. :(

You sure they ran? Wouldn't they have been in toe sandals or flip flops?

I know, Daz. :) You keep mentioning it and it IS on my list. Must get round to it and I will, I promise. :)

Muslims, grrr!!! They're nothing but trouble! There's no such thing as a good Muslim, grrrr. Need to kick them out! I blame Merkel! Grrrr, knee jerk reaction, grrrrrrr!!!!!! I think that just about covers it. Do you want to close the thread, Nick?

Okay, just seen the article, so I guess so.

I wonder if West Ham will allow him to be cup tied. Possibly not.

Then you will know the truth, or should do anyway. Pretty much reduces me to tears when I am there. The earth is salty, so houses are sinking into the ground, with residents still residing in them. It is unbelievable to understand people still live in these places. The buildings are all...

Ah, my favourite place! Keresley I mean. I like it so much I am spending a whole year there again this year. Hoe you have a lovely break, Daz. You deserve it by all accounts. :)

Not so sure. Would agree, but they are putting up café's alongside that stretch, so it might be a bit too intimidating and high brow for that lot. ;)

Can't find it. Could be The Train Now Standing, with Bill Frazer, but maybe it just didn't get made. As for Rise and Fall, it had a lovely, district quirkiness to it and Rossiter simply has a ball. That show had an awful lot of catchphrases, but again I feel that was parody and deliberately...

Counting down then, eh!!! Going anywhere, Daz?

Going Straight just didn't work at all. Very lame. As soon as they took the concept out of the prison the whole thing fell down. I'm sure I heard Clement and La Frenais say it was a mistake. Can't remember the other one they did which they admit was absolutely terrible. Didn't last long at...

You too, Daz. Don't work too hard! :)

Cheers, BBR. I actually have the Porridge scripts and they are brilliantly conceived and very fresh still. Porridge very nearly didn't get made because of its groundbreaking concept. The thought of the 'heroes' all being villains and locked up behind bars almost resulted in the BBC turning it...

I think Tudgay has become a legend in some people's heads. The more he doesn't get picked the seemingly better player he appears to be.

Why don't we just agree to disagree on everything. Will make life a lot easier from this point forwards.

Could not disagree with you more. Porridge is still as brilliant today as it was then. Fantastic scripts, great acting, fabulous characters. Trust you to pick on probably the only two stereotypes. It was the 70.'s. Fletcher is a beautifully rounded character, as too is Godber and Grouty and...

Call me Ishmael. And I will call you a dick.

Ahh, forgot about Rackham's! There's a Beale's in Bedford that has that old fashioned rickety past glory feel to it.

Yep, agree. It wasn't intended to be laugh out loud funny I don't think and they play very much on the warmth of the characters and their familiarity of the situation. Nearly all Perry and Croft's characters are likeable characters. They are the same week in week out though with very little or...
