Fred Dibnahs world of steam and stone......eagerly anticipating the start of Masterchef.
I think I need help!

I caught the last ten minutes of an episode last night as he wandered round Hampton Court in the company of a posh guide: the contrast couldn't have been more stark and i know who i'd prefer to have a pint with: Fred went all medieval on two large chunks of wood to illustrate how they'd make the ceiling beams in Westminster Hall. They knew how to build to last in them days, that they did.

They had some famous actors in some stories: Telly Savalas as a conniving businessman; John Gielgud as a vicar trying to chisel a Chippendale table from a bunch of farmers and Derek Jacobi in one of my favourite episodes where he went to a bank on a revenge mission disguised as a mad magician.

Tales of the Unexpected was great, the earlier ones being the best; it fizzled out later. I saw one recently starring the actress Gloria Graeme. She was a big Hollywood name in the 40s and 50s but spent her later years in Liverpool. I recommend the film "Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool" about her.

The earlier ones were stories written by Dahl; after that they started using other writers' stories.

Thanks. I’ve saved that to my favourites for watching later.

Morning live on BBC1. Watching the female host with a split skirt trying to keep her knickers covered.

Watching that program reminded me of a line from Melting Pot by Blue Mink.

What line did you have in mind?

What was once a song for peace and harmony has now been banned from some radio station playlists

Yeah, most stories were pretty cheesy but seeing Telly Savalas turn up in one was a bit like watching Johnny Depp on Coronation Street.

Slightly bizarre.

Think he did one on Bristol too.

And just for Securespark, there are SD1 jam sandwiches on here too. And geriatric disco dancing!

Army of the Dead, zombie movie. The teachers strike is not improving my grandsons education one iota.
