    Yes, just googled Mark McManus - he was in The Brothers - he was also in Colditz. I love spotting actors in their earlier roles

    Do you notice all the nips & tucks?

    Does anyone remember 'Thriller' from the early sixties. Absolutely everyone watched it on a Friday night and talked about it.

    I also loved the old Twilight Zone.

    Can't remember Thriller, but definitely watched The Twilight Zone. Terrified me, but I was riveted.

    Boris Karloff introduced Thriller. I think there is an episode on YouTube.

    There was a programme called 'You Were There' where they presented an episode in history and the presenter acted as a television reporter at the scene.

    Now this is more "Obscure radio". Anyone remember "Dan Dare" at 7pm?. Then there was "Perry Mason" at 9.30pm. If i was in bed I'd shout down to Mum to turn up the radio

    I have seen clips of the Boris Karloff one from the 1960s. It's great.

    Does anybody remember Thriller from the 1970s? Great anthology series from ITV. Ran from 1973 to 1976 and was repeated in the early 1980s.

    Not sure how many will remember Catch Hand, a tv series from the early 1960's.

    Two workers travel around finding jobs where they go starring Tony Booth and Mark Eden.

    Anyway Google search doesn't bring up much. BUT I remember it :)

    Ah, Dan dare, Digby and The Mekon! I think it was 645-7pm and was it on Luxembourg?

    My old man fixed up a set of headphones from the front room of the prefab we lived in , to my bedroom and I would sit in bed listening.

    Fabian of Scotland Yard - George Raft. Saturday nights on BBC (there was only one BBC Channel in them days lol)

    I remember a couple of episodes which affected me. One where someone was giving sweets out which were poisoned - never accept sweets from strangers!!) and another where someone in a bath had a bust fall on them and kill them (Lucky? person was so rich they had shelves behind the bath end with marble bust on it!!) Even though our bath didn't have the said shelves or Marble busts, I always looked behind me when I got in and sat down!
