The Trains That Time Forgot: Britain's Lost Railway Journeys on BBC4 - fascinating, especially the old newsreels.

Pointless?

What film was the villain Hans Gruber in?

Die Hard? I thought it was Allo, allo.

An Inspector Calls. I had never realised before, but Ken Stott is a voice double of Ronnie Corbett.

Hi George.

It's good, but hard to match the Alistair Sim version.

Yup, and a good story with a sort of twist.

Grange Hill via YouTube. Currently watching S5, so 1981 and earlier than I recall ever seeing it whilst young. I think that I probably watched it from the mid 1980s onwards.

I think the earliest ones I watched were Danny Kendall era.
Mr Bronson was scarier than any horror film.

Appreciate the effort and thought, Herc. But with my current backlog (and FF addiction), I probably won't get around to it until...

That video must have cost at least five bob.

It's got all the artistry of one of those cinema ads you used to get for your local curry house.
