RadoxTheGreen 4th Nov 2022		TV An Audience With Freddie Starr (1996)	The thing is as you say, the "Audience With" series. There are 54 episodes and five 30 year specials and while some shows may be more memorable than others, IMO "An Audience With..." should be entered as the whole series, not each individual show getting their own entry.
RadoxTheGreen 4th Sep 2022		TV She-Hulk: Attorney At Law (2022)	Actually, scrub that, the end titles credit the actor as playing She-Hulk so I've changed it back.
RadoxTheGreen 4th Sep 2022		TV She-Hulk: Attorney At Law (2022)	Although the Marvel Wiki page refers to "She-Hulk" the title screen from Marvel Studios has the She underlined instead, which would make this series title "She Hulk". I've amended details to match the title screen but can change it back if people feel strongly about it.

RadoxTheGreen 19th Aug 2022		TV The Rag Trade (1961 - 1978)	Remade by NRK in Norway 1990 as "Fredrikssons Fabrikk"
RadoxTheGreen 29th Oct 2017		TV Kamen Rider (1971 - 1973)	Toei's official YouTube channel so hopefully this link will stay up: [YouTube Video]
RadoxTheGreen 29th Oct 2017		TV Children Of The Stones (1977)	[YouTube Video]
RadoxTheGreen 29th Oct 2017		TV Children Of The Stones (1977)	This was a scary series right enough, but not as scary as the editing job they did on the VHS release of this show. How anyone could have passed that for release astounds me. Basically, instead of releasing it as individual episodes they put all the episodes together into one single story... complete with all the episode recaps so you would suddenly have the action jump back to the previous scene without warning. The video wasn't cheap to buy either as I recall.
RadoxTheGreen 11th Jun 2017		TV I Didn't Know You Cared (1975 - 1979)	I heard that... pardon?
RadoxTheGreen 29th Oct 2016		TV The Adventures Of The Scarlet Pimpernel (1955)	[YouTube Video]
RadoxTheGreen 29th Oct 2016		TV Cloppa Castle (1978 - 1979)	I've replaced the video link as the previous video had been removed.

RadoxTheGreen 31st Jul 2016		Book Mick Foley - Mankind	Review Mick has participated in Japanese Death Matches, which replace the ropes with barbed wire and pack the corner posts with C4 explosive that detonates on impact.His body is covered in scars and burns, and he lost an ear when his head got caught in the steel ring ropes, but he still continued the match. In "Mankind Have a Nice Day!" he recounts how he got into the business, met his wife, and how he became known for taking some of the hardest knocks in the pro-wrestling business. From his days as Cactus Jack, the WWF (as it was then) and WCW, to the WWE "Attitude Era", wrestling as Mankind, he relates on the road tales with his fellow wrestlers. He recalls matches like his "Hell In A Cell" match (a steel cage with a top on it) with the Undertaker, which shocked the fans when the 'taker threw Mick through an announce table from the top of the steel cell, only for him to get back up and climb to the top again (despite a dislocated shoulder) where the Undertaker rewarded him by chokeslamming him through the top of the cell to the ring below. When the unconscious Mankind recovered enough to get back to his feet one of his teeth was lodged in his nose. No wonder the wrestling fans started proclaiming "Foley Is God". "This book is not for the squeamish" the front flap of the dust jacket states, and it's true. However, it's a fascinating insight into the world of "hardcore" wrestling, and is written by Foley himself (no ghost writers here). Mick Foley has gone on to become an accomplished author, following up this book with a childrens fiction tale, and several novels. His writing style is easy to read, and he has made this a very entertaining book which you'll be reluctant to put down, even if you are the most casual of wrestling fans. There's a saying in pro wrestling: wrestling is as real as you want to make it. Well, it doesn't get much more real than this. I highly recommend. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
RadoxTheGreen 3rd Mar 2016		Book Terry Pratchett - The Colour Of Magic	Your info for the Corgi book is incorrect. The adverts on the end pages change according to printing edition. Mine has an ad for The Light Fantastic and Equal Rites, with a selection of Bantam Books titles on the final page. I'm not sure it's really neccessary to include that sort of info anyway.
RadoxTheGreen 12th Feb 2016		Cinema Wabbit Twouble (1941)	Don't you mean "uncwedited"?
RadoxTheGreen 12th Feb 2016		Cinema Greed (1924)	The version I watched was the 140 minute version... with Italian subtitle cards.
RadoxTheGreen 21st Nov 2015		TV Doctor Who (1963 - Now)	A new 8 episode spin off series "Class" (written by Patrick Ness) will air in the spring of 2016 on BBC3. As the channel relauches as a web service in January and stops TV broadcasting in March, Class will be a web only series. It will be set in Coal Hill School, first seen in 1963 in the first ever Doctor Who episode "An Unearthly Child", and latterly in Doctor Who where a Clara is working as a teacher.
RadoxTheGreen 21st Nov 2015		Cinema Little Red Riding Rabbit (1944)	This is my favourite Looney Tunes cartoon of all time, mainly because of Bea Benaderet's fantastic off key singing. Her singing as cousin Pearl in the Beverly Hillbillies seems tame in comparison. Sadly missed actress.
RadoxTheGreen 13th Nov 2015		Book Various Contributors - The Beano Book 1968	I declare these floodgates open!
RadoxTheGreen 11th Oct 2015		Book John Peel [Dr. Who Etc.] - Evolution	According to OCLC this is 813.54 (American fiction)....er...no.
RadoxTheGreen 9th Oct 2015		Book Luke Rhinehart - The Dice Man	The book originally was released with "this book can change your life". With 27 reprints I guess they thought they should update it. You're right about the book, it got me into diceing big time. Nothing like taking off with a back pack, passport and rolling the dice to see where you end up, what meals you eat and so on. If my legs are holding up when I hit retirement age, it's still an option for me as a way of seeing out my last years.
RadoxTheGreen 3rd Oct 2015		Book Lance Parkin - The Dying Days	This being the last of the Doctor Who New Adventures, not surprisingly the book sold out quickly (in most stores just on pre-orders). Today, copies sell on Amazon from anywhere between £60 and £200. Also not surprisingly, this is the other book in the series I don't own in anything other than electronic form.
RadoxTheGreen 2nd Oct 2015		Book Russell T. Davies - Damaged Goods	One of the two books in this series that I don't own (except in electronic form, hence why I have a cover image but no barcode). If anyone has the paper version, please feel free to replace the image, add barcode etc. Oh, and if it's for sale and in good condition, can you send me a pm with your asking price?
RadoxTheGreen 20th Sep 2015		TV The Beverly Hillbillies (1962 - 1971)	According to a shotgun identification site I just looked at: "Granny carried a 24" 'The Continental' by Simonis, Janssen & Dumoulin in The Beverly Hillbillies. Sideplate may have 'Pat. June 20 1883' "
RadoxTheGreen 11th Sep 2015		TV The Tomorrow People [2013] (2013 - 2014)	They also had a mellower version of the original show's theme as incidental music in at least one episode. As a reinvented version I quite liked it (certainly more than the reinvented Prisoner), it would have been good to see where they were going with it if it had continued.
RadoxTheGreen 11th Sep 2015		TV The Benny Hill Show (1955 - 1989)	[YouTube Video] I'm surprised you didn't post this 23Skidoo
RadoxTheGreen 11th Sep 2015		Cinema Genevieve (1953)	I totally adore this movie, mainly because of the London scene showing it before it got covered with road signs and lane markings.
RadoxTheGreen 5th Sep 2015		TV Runaround (1975 - 1981)	The theme tune was out on 7" as the B-side to the theme from Noah's Castle by Jugg. 45 Cat
RadoxTheGreen 5th Sep 2015		Live Music St. Ives September Festival 2015 @ Guildhall	"One of the biggest bands of the 2-Tone movement, The Beat present a wall of sound that transcends time and ska fusion rhythms to ignite a crowd." (St. Ives Festival website)
RadoxTheGreen 4th Sep 2015		Live Music St. Ives September Festival 2015 @ Guildhall	I can't believe the festival organisers scheduled Martin Barre and Gordon Giltrap for gigs at the same time on the same night. Poor planning. <headdesk>
