Neil Forbes 8th Jul 2015		DVD Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets - Warner Home Video	Watch the remaining five movies with the lights on, RC!(ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 8th Jul 2015		DVD Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets - Warner Home Video	I have the complete series from Philosopher's Stone through to Deathly Hallows Pt.2. Starts out light-hearted with Harry Potter being a sort-of "Cinderella"-like figure in the Dearsley house but by the third movie, Prisoner of Azkaban, the mood gets progressively darker. This ain't a kid's movie anymore, you think to yourself as you watch each new chapter in this saga.
Neil Forbes 8th Jul 2015		TV Round The Twist (1989 - 2001)	The boy who replaced Rodney McLennan as Bronson was a near dead-ringer for Rodney McLennan. Actually the producers did well to find new child actors who looked a lot like those who were in Series one. It made for a seamless transition from Series 1 to Series 2.
Neil Forbes 8th Jul 2015		DVD Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets - Warner Home Video	There's a great scene in this where Harry(Daniel Radcliffe) and Ron(Rupert Grint) are in the flying Ford Anglia on their way to Hogwarts, They find the track and think they're just behind the Hogwarts Express train, but when they hear it behind them... the look of horror on Rupert Grint's face is priceless! Cracks me up every time I watch it!
Neil Forbes 8th Jul 2015		TV Round The Twist (1989 - 2001)	I quite liked this, even though it was mainly aimed at kids(teens, mostly). Had a quirky theme song too. Good for a chuckle!
Neil Forbes 8th Jul 2015		TV Most Haunted (2002 - Now)	Derek Accorah and Richard Felix had left the show at various points in the show's history. Accorah after the 4th season(I think) but Felix held on for a couple of extra seasons before he finally bailed out, citing a "Scooby-Doo" culture developing in the show, Probably his was of saying the show got too sensationalised. On watching examples of later editions, I'm inclined to agree with Richard Felix. Felix went on to produce his own hour-long series of videos based on his ghost walks but expanded to cover a wider area around England, Ireland(northern & republic of), Scotland and Wales. They were well presented but I don't think they were intended for TV broadcasting. I saw them on You-Tube.
Neil Forbes 8th Jul 2015		Vinyl Album Frank Ifield - I'll Remember You	Thanks for digging out the album and uploading the back cover, MM, and especially for the separate scan of the sleeve notes... especially interesting reading. Thing is, I always believed Frank Ifield to have been British-born, moved to Australia as a child, then back to Britain when his singing career was starting to take shape. Incidentally, Frank Ifield was the co-writer, with Mike Hawker, of a song that graced the A-side of a Jimmy Gilmer & Fireballs 1963 record. The B-side, Daisy Petal Pickin' became the hit but the A-side, When My Tears Have Dried was the song penned by Ifield & Hawker, perhaps 5 years ahead of its time in its style, sounds like something The Fireballs would've done in 1968.
Neil Forbes 8th Jul 2015		TV Hee Haw (1969 - 1993)	As I recall, this show was the C. & W. Music world's answer to Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In.
Neil Forbes 7th Jul 2015		DVD Young Frankenstein - 20th Century Fox	Catch ya soon RC, MM and everybody. I'm logging off now. 'Bye!
Neil Forbes 7th Jul 2015		DVD Young Frankenstein - 20th Century Fox	The DVD had an extra scene which wasn't in the theatrical release of a group of Frankenstein's family members listening to a gramophone record of Victor giving his last will & testament, one of the actors in that scene was Leon Askin(from the old TV show "William Tell" and "Hogan's Heroes").
Neil Forbes 7th Jul 2015		DVD Young Frankenstein - 20th Century Fox	I had this on VHS for a long time, then a friend gave me a (copied) DVD of it which I used to rip the movie to my external hard-drive. Every now and then(like a couple of nights ago) I watch it again and remember the good bits.
Neil Forbes 7th Jul 2015		TV Land Of The Giants (1968 - 1970)	The lead characters in this show spent too long in the wash cycle - They shrunk! (ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 7th Jul 2015		DVD Young Frankenstein - 20th Century Fox	RC - "No eye dear where it's going lol" What's that? Something about Blind Venison? As the man with no fingers on his hand asked: Is there a point to this?
Neil Forbes 7th Jul 2015		DVD Young Frankenstein - 20th Century Fox	@RC, Should still be available on DVD, don't know 'bout Blu-Ray though!
Neil Forbes 7th Jul 2015		DVD Young Frankenstein - 20th Century Fox	Well, now at least we can see where we're going with this thread, with all these eyes! Ha-Ha!
Neil Forbes 7th Jul 2015		DVD Young Frankenstein - 20th Century Fox	@RC... Eye-gor, you-gor, we all gor...oh gor-blimey!(ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 7th Jul 2015		Vinyl Album Frank Ifield - I'll Remember You	@45House. Thanks for that info! Hmmm. probably still had the single in their(EMI's) catalogue and still trying to get some mileage out of it, even though "I Remember You" is Recording First Published 1962(I have the UK 45).
Neil Forbes 7th Jul 2015		DVD Young Frankenstein - 20th Century Fox	@Monolith, Yeah, thought it was the case. Guess Igor just got the "hump" over it!(ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 6th Jul 2015		Vinyl Album Frank Ifield - I'll Remember You	Not unless you can borrow Dr. Who's Tardis, RC!... er...Doctor *WHO?*(ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 6th Jul 2015		TV Jonny Quest (1964 - 1965)	I really did give my last post amp-le thought so it would really hit ohm!
Neil Forbes 6th Jul 2015		TV Most Haunted (2002 - Now)	I watched quite a few of the latter series of MH via You-Tube but found the use of that feature was burning up my data reserve so I had to lay off.
Neil Forbes 6th Jul 2015		TV Jonny Quest (1964 - 1965)	This current thread is truly electrifying!
Neil Forbes 6th Jul 2015		TV Jonny Quest (1964 - 1965)	Sorry, Monolith, but I just couldn't resist using those puns!
Neil Forbes 6th Jul 2015		TV Jonny Quest (1964 - 1965)	Cheeky boy, Monolith! I'm gonna have to charge you for that re-volt-ing remark!(ha-ha)
Neil Forbes 6th Jul 2015		TV Most Haunted (2002 - Now)	This show was good, up to about series four(which I'd seen on You-Tube but after about fifth or 6th season, I could easily understand why Richard Felix opted out. The show got too sensationalist. Seems an American influence must have crept in. Felix claimed a "Scooby-Doo" element in the presentation was taking over and he didn't want to be part of that type of show. Richard Felix had been recruited to the show for the second series after they featured his Derby Prison Museum on Ed.#13 of the first series. Derek Accorah(corrected spelling there) was also gone after series 4 and I think that's where the show sort-of lost its way.
Neil Forbes 6th Jul 2015		TV Jonny Quest (1964 - 1965)	Thought as much! You would've seen the show in colour, RC!
Neil Forbes 6th Jul 2015		TV Jonny Quest (1964 - 1965)	What period would that have been, RC? Post-1975 perhaps?
Neil Forbes 6th Jul 2015		DVD Modern Problems - Anchor Bay Entertainment	Actually RC, I don't think this was part of 'National Lampoon' franchise.
Neil Forbes 6th Jul 2015		DVD Young Frankenstein - 20th Century Fox	Actually, I watched this again last night(I copied the move to my external hard-drive, one of three I have hooked to my computer), the Blücher routine's still good for a laugh! I noticed a "continuity error"(or maybe it was deliberate for comic effect) regarding Kenneth Mars and his "Inspector Kemp" role. Watch him manipulate the so-called prosthetic right arm, then skip forward to the crowd heading for the castle to confront Frankenstein and his monster, suddenly that prosthetic arm's on his left side....Hmmmm, then when the monster(Peter Boyle) speaks and addresses the crowd, that "arm" is back on Mars' right side..... Hmmmm, again!
Neil Forbes 6th Jul 2015		DVD Modern Problems - Anchor Bay Entertainment	Had a VHS of this(still have it tucked away somewhere). Chevy's revenge on Dabney Coleman had me in fits of laughter when I first saw this! I rented a copy from a video library first, than a year or so later bought a copy. Hilarious stuff, this!
