TV Times

[Banksy]

Was The Plank the only Silent Comedy of that type they did for TV? I'm sure i remember some others but that was the best known.

Ronnie Barker did some good ones , for example Futtock’s End.

A bit of light relief on Coronation St.Not exactly the storylines that Corrie watchers are accustomed to today.I wonder if Arnold Swain got his ‘leg over’ with Emily Bishop ?

Ooh err missus

5th June 1986.
A good evenings viewing on the BBC.

Kane & Abel written by Jeffery Archer was good.
Sam Neill had a great decade of gigs acting wise.The Omen 111((1981) Dead Calm(1989)to start & finish the decade for the NZ actor.

A film or drama about Jeffrey Archer would be interesting to say the least.Prostitute paid off(Monica Coghlan) set up by a Newspaper Sting.Subsequent Libel case that he won.Then Perjury trial about the libel trial a decade later just before he was going to run as the Tory Candidate against Ken Livingstone for the first London Mayor.Found Guilty & banged up.
He was scuppered trying to be a MP again or any meaningful political position after the conviction &
jailing but was OK for the House of Lords

A bit of trivia about the court case & The Stranglers.

The Stranglers were about to release a single.A cover of The Kinks “All Day & All of The Night” someone thought it was a good idea to use a photo of Monica Coghlan going into court on the pic sleeve of the single.
The record company lawyers belatedly stopped the image being used.
The sleeves already printed were hastily withdrawn putting the single release back.

The original one is available on YouTube

It is the original Sykes/Cooper 1967 Film version on the BBC i player too. Approx double the length of the TV remake.

Reminiscent of The Move and their Flowers in the Rain insert of Harold Wilson and his secretary. One court case later and all royalties, even now apparently, go to a charity of Wilson's choosing. I bet Roy Wood is really happy about Xmas being every day to make up for it .

Sunday 14th June 1970.
I watched the England v West Germany World Cup QF.
The first of many disappointments watch them in the later stages of international competitions.

Interestingly enough, that track cropped up on Friday's "Popmaster".
Sadly, I along with (I suspect - or hope) about 90% of the other listeners misidentified it as The Kinks.
"Generational thing", I guess.

England 2-0 West Germany



51 minutes: Another Keith Newton marauding run down the right sees a good cross converted by Martin Peters.
