Was the Hancock one the one with Paul Merton in the Hancock role? It was like a mini Galton & Simpson season. 

That was years before those others ones mentioned. I remember watching them and I recall it actually wasn't that good, a rare misfire for Merton for non panel work.

I magine they didn't tack too closely to the original script with the Til Death Do Us Part one given Simon Day is still allowed on television.

Struggling to remember it, although I did recall that it was shot in a bear bones studio, almost like filming a play. It was cleverly done and I really liked it. Really hit the point that they were re-shooting the original lost episode and not rebooting the series, like the Porridge one.

Remembered there was an Open All Hours reboot too but when I looked it up, that was actually in 2013! Also, it somehow ran for 6 series, 2 more than the original. Think I lasted a couple of episodes.

Still Open All Hours was decent. It did turn into more of an ensemble cast thing in later series. Not the worst of casts either.

Around the same time but they did some based around scripts that had been found. Lost Sitcom season, I think it was. There was a Steptoe one, Til Death Us Do Part with Simon Day as Alf and a Hancock episode with a pretty decent cast.

They also tested an Are You Being Served reboot with a new cast.

I liked it but doubt the Beeb fancied putting it into full production.

Sadly, Roy Barraclough died soon after.

Rock and Chips the sequel to Only Fools and Horses wasn’t great either. Had a few funny moments but was pitched more like a drama than OFAH was. I don’t think James Buckley worked particularly well as Del Boy.

Don't Cha by The Pussycat Dolls was written by Ceelo Green, and he intended to record it himself. Presumably with a different chorus. 

This has just reminded me that on one of the early Smackdown games, I created Paul Heyman but I gave him Sunny's 'I Know You Want Me' theme and gave him Torrie Wilson's entrance/taunts etc. 13 year old Lorne thought it was the funniest thing ever and honestly, just thinking about it then still made me giggle.

TIL that former Strictly contestant, model and all round lovely girl Daisy Lowe is the daughter of Gavin Rossdale of “Adrenaline from Unforgiven 2002” fame.

I think she only found out herself a few years back.

Not been to the cinema in a while, then?

I haven't no, and even if I did, I don't think that's something I'd even notice to be honest.

Ross Kemp was in Emmerdale for 32 episodes before he was in EastEnders, playing a character called Graham Lodsworth. This was like when I found out Triple H had been in WCW as Jean-Paul Levesque.

Also was in Londons Burning too for 1-2 episodes
