Excellent Tom Jones documentary just started on BBC Four.

The 'boyo' done good :cool:

I missed it last week, but I watched it tonight. Thank goodness for repeats

Really enjoyed it. Tom seems like a decent skin. If he wasn't making a living from music he would be down his local entertaining anyone lucky enough to hear him.

Better singer than he gets credit for, too.

Ahoy, hoy!

All good a chara. Watching a bit of Tom Petty now. Nice.

Crap, I forgot for a second time that the Tom Jones programme was on :mad:

If anyone sees a second repeat will you let me know?

Looked like a good enough schedule this weekend, sadly I can't watch any of it.

(this thread is a godsend btw - usually!)

Ah that's a pity, Heidi. It doesn't seem to on again in the near future. I stuck it in my list of picks on www.locatetv.com so if I see it coming around again I'll drop you a PM.

Humble.
No ego.
Aware of how blessed he his being given such a voice.

Tom makes yer proud to be Welsh.

Mmf. Something in. my. eye.

On the ball there, gsw!

I wish BBC4 or Sky or someone else would buy the rights to 'This is Tom Jones' from whoever owns ATV's back catologue, and show a few 'Best of' compilations on Friday Nights at 11.30pm.

Or make a new series of it, it looks like it was great fun.

Mmm...nice.

The Drifters wearing lime green suits and yellow dickie bows.

I'm not sure if there was a bet going on there. The song is decent enough.

Welsh Megaman · 06-09-2014 10:54PM

This is more like it!

One of Bon's last ever performances RIP

Skid X · 06-09-2014 10:55PM

TOTP2 is much more fun than Top of The Pops 1979 IMO

BBC4 should give the full TOTPs a rest and get Mark Radcliffe or someone similar to do a new compilation of TOTPs.

Skid X · 06-09-2014 10:58PM

That Saturday Night dance move was waaaay too complicated for me, back in the day.

I prefer the traditional 'leaping about, punching the air'style dancing, it works for any song worth dancing for!

Welsh Megaman · 06-09-2014 11:00PM

That WAS a coy look from Mr. Dwight!

Welsh Megaman · 06-09-2014 11:05PM

Noel's Gretsch guitar!

Want!

Skid X · 06-09-2014 11:06PM

They should have shown this one, from the same album

Noel doing his best Liam impression

Getting back to Tom Jones for a minute - is this the Welshiest cast of all time?

Under Milk Wood - with Tom Jones, Michael Sheen, Charlotte Church, Gareth Thomas, Rhys Ifans, Neil Kinnock, Matthew Rhys, Ioan Gruffudd, Siân Phillips, Jonathan Pryce, Bryn Terfel, Kathrine Jenkins etc etc!

None more Welsh!

I was unavailable...I was committed to Coronation Street

RTE's website TEN (The Entertainment Network) reckons a paperback release of a book about Pan's People is a newsworthy event.

Who am I to disagree?

Kept The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl off the top spot...boo-urns!

Still, good cover though

Skid X · 06-09-2014 11:27PM

This song kept Fairytale of New York off the Christmas Number One.

And deservedly so. It's Ace.

I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue, etc.

Skid X · 06-09-2014 11:33PM

E's are good!
E's are good!

No, I can't see any drug reference there at all.

Welsh Megaman · 06-09-2014 11:34PM

Ah, Kimberley

I'll sleep well tonight

Skid X · 06-09-2014 11:39PM

Pleasantly surprised to see the TOTP brand is still alive after Yewtree,

maybe we'll get some new shows soon, there's life in the old dog yet!

Harry Angstrom · 07-09-2014 01:05AM

Just watching "The Joy of Easy Listening". I don't think it's fair to lump Herb Alpert into the Richard Clayderman and James Last genre. Alpert founded A&M Records and had some great original instrumental tunes by his own right.
