So that's where Right Said Fred went.

Old episodes of ‘Hi-De-Hi’ on Gold in the afternoon have become strangely addicted viewing.

Sadly, there is nothing so far in the series to match Paul Shane’s ‘interpretation’ of ‘You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling’

If you don't have netflix, they just threw a bunch of free .. documentaries from the look of the names? up on their youtube:

From watching this I have learned that Wimbledon had a player with the excellent name of Peter Fear

I don't know how I missed that at the time

Here is a Peter Fear fact

Was he playing for Palace in that cup final?

I was delighted that when I saw a player with Fear on his shirt, I thought "Ah, that's Peter Fear".

There something I didn't know I knew.

Skid X

No he missed out on FA Cup glory, alas

This is the most recent Fear news

He was also a contestant on Ken Bruce's BBC Radio 2 'phone-in pop music quiz Popmaster on Thursday 13 May 2010 and again on Thursday 31 January 2013. During this last appearance, Peter informed the host that he was working as a cab driver

in an effort to boost the nation's morale RTE have decided to re-run Pat Short's Killinaskully :cool:

Welsh Megaman

Possibly car crash tv on BBC One!

Welsh Megaman

Didn’t think he would perform ‘Revolution 9’.

It's all very worthy and I hope they raise lots of money and thanks to all the Front Line Workers and Stay Safe and Stay At home ...

But it's a bit like being dragged along to a School concert which goes on for hours and you only really want to see a bit of it. Dreadful performances of songs and you would much rather be down the pub

Yeah, I'm on exactly the same page.

Great, well done, lots of excellent funding collected.

But I'm actively trying to avoid it, even the thought of it makes me cringe for some reason.

Think I'm scarred by that celeb Imagine video from a few weeks back.

Meanwhile, Simon Reeve is excellent and his shows are always deadly.

Ol' Donie

Wait, what's that bloke off 2fm on this for on RTE?

Welsh Megaman

Urgh...I was genuinely about to post ‘no sign of Chris Martin yet, thank God’.

Can't always git what you want

That was brilliant from the stones.

Still more talent in their baby fingers than any band around now.

Charlie was great on the drums!!!!

Just finished all of Line of Duty. Very good if you allow for some questionable handy conclusions being leapt to. Need VPN for iplayer

Might try TWIN also on BBC

Up to date with Better Call Saul. A weekly delight. Netflix

The Tiger King well worth a watch. Netflix

Heard People Just Do Nothing is now on Netflix so will start that next I think

There was a decent documentary recently on BBC Four about Charlie and that Alexis Korner/British R’n’B boom...will give it a watch later.

Is it wrong to say I like 'Wake me up when September ends'

Welsh Megaman

Who’s presenting the RTE show?

Player won’t stream it in the UK.

Say Your Number

"Tyler Perry paid for your grocery bill this evening"

"Who the f*ck is Tyler Perry?"

Welsh Megaman

Decent song by Eddie Vedder.
