Pier Six Brawler Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 But not a lot. His index finger was reattached but he lost the tip of his middle finger. Â TV has never been the same since great showmen like Daniels were got rid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 21, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 21, 2012 TV has never been the same since great showmen like Daniels were got rid of. Â Yeah, it's got far better. For example, it's been fucking years since Russ Abbot was last on TV in something not Last of the Summer Wine. These are days I like living in.

Paid Members gmoney Posted January 21, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 21, 2012 It's weird because I'd often watch these shows because there was fuck all else on, but I can't remember hardly anything about them. London's Burning, I probably watched the entire run, but I couldn't tell you a single character name. One of them looked a little bit like Dennis Wise, that's all I know.

Paid Members gmoney Posted January 21, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 21, 2012 Ha, that's the one who looked a bit like Dennis Wise! Fucking hell, I don't remember him releasing a single. I bet it's not as good as Sid Owen's effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Tommy! Posted January 21, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 21, 2012 I remember watching "watching" and hating everything bar the theme tune.  Spitting Image was a gem though, a pure gem.  also  1900 Last of the Summer Wine Howard finds himself in hot water over his dangerous liason with Marina.  could describe about 579 Summer Wine episodes. the only thing more vague would be "Compo rolls down in a hill in/on or falling off something" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 21, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 21, 2012 No-one ever really liked Watching. Or Just a Gigolo with Tony Slattery. How many good sitcoms have ITV actually made? It's certainly not too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
