I don't have transformers in my 80s collection and didn't have them as a kid but I did play with them with my cousins.

Aspirins and driving tests, jet planes and skeletons. Frog singing to egg timers, calendars and candles upside down, plastic apples on coconet tress. Splish, splash, splonk.

2 points for who can tell me where that line comes from. If you are a fan of 50s British radio comedy rather than an 14 year-old oik who's favourite show is the Inbetweeners you have a fighting chance.
Bonus 2 points if you can tell me who said the line. Clue: Una's dad
Was it Una's dad?
Quote: Dolly Dagger @ October 24 2009, 12:52 PM BSTI don't understand the current love for 80s music; most of it was bad.
Most of it was indeed bad. But there were also some great bands: Jane's Addiction, The Pixies, The Smiths, Chumbawamba, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jnr, Radiohead, The Pogues, Faith No More, Talking Heads and various one-hit wonders.
Plus THE GAP BAND!

A Hancock radio show where they recite crap pretentious poems. Bill Kerr?
Quote: Kenneth @ October 25 2009, 12:00 AM BSTA Hancock radio show where they recite crap pretentious poems. Bill Kerr?
Indeed it is. 'The Poetry Society'. One of the finest ever radio shows that G&S wrote.
And here's the script...

(And the "poem" is by Gregory, one of Tony's new-found intellectual chums.)

The script lists additional cast as Fenella Fielding, Fraser Kerr and Warren Mitchell. Thus (going on the clue of Una's dad), the poncy Gregory must be Warren Mitchell (better known as Alf Garnett). How odd!
Blimey! I didn't know that. I remember the episode well. Gregory was voiced as very upper-class with a lisp. Fenella Fielding's voice was quite recognisable however.
Another great radio episode was the 'East Cheam Drama Festival'.

I used to borrow casettes of the Hancock radio show from the local public library. They aren't there on CD theseadays.
Oh, forgot about this!
Well done for the defective work all round. Rather than points let's have pints all round instead.
Quote: Ronnie Anderson @ October 23 2009, 2:06 AM BSTAm I alone in preffering threads where one of the more eccentric BCG members have an outlandish oppinion and are then ganged up on by everyone and ribbed, normally by Mr Carpark, up to the stage where they're likely to consider suicide.
Eccentric? Outlandish? Suicide? Carpark? Are you my official biographer?
