    Review Blake's 7 (1978)

    The whole series is 52 episodes of pure magic, so it's difficult to pick any specific one. A number of moments stand out for me; Star One Blake " For what it is worth I have always trusted you Avon" Rumours of Death Avon " Having murdered your way to a wall of an underground room" Servalan "...

    Review Sykes (1972): TV series with the brilliant Eric Sykes

    I've been waiting for so long for this to come out on DVD , so delighted its been released, all 68 episodes, but I must ration myself. Watched five already in two days. Brilliant! This one particularly is a master class of comedy, THE END OF THE WORLD IS NIGH!

    Review On the Buses (1969)

    The early series were the best. Arthur and Olive as a pair were terrific. Olive " the milkman whistled at me" " he probably thought you were his horse" After Arthur left and then Stan, it nose-dived in quality. Completely non PC of course, but enjoyable. Bob Grant and Stephen Lewis, Jack and...

    Review Steptoe and Son (1962)

    Surprised no one has responded to this before. So, yes a fantastic show, I have all the DVDs, I don't think there's a bad episode. Favorites? Tricky..mmmmm? Episode where the hitherto unknown Aussie son of Albert turns up springs to mind, the divided house too, just many more too numerous to go...

    Review Paul Temple (1969)

    This 70's BBC series passed me by, too young, but bought the DVD box set. It's pretty good , typical 70's Brit drama with plenty of recognisable actors, and starring Francis Matthews , the voice of Captain Scarlet as Paul Temple author and detective. The stories are well written if a little...

    Review The Omega Factor

    Still going through this series again. Just watched episode 6 " Child's Play" Tremendous. Roy Martindale really is a bastard . His cold hearted justification for experimenting on the boy Colin to see what psychic powers he has is chilling. Louise Jameson's Anne Reynolds is clearly torn between...

    Fun Your Favourite TV Series Finale of All Time?

    So many people I know have said this and I always say he same thing. Watch an episode of a later series, then realise what a great show it is, a true classic of Sci fi storytelling, then grumpily go back to the start and watch the admittedly slow start. I always recommend the episode Horizon...
