RadoxTheGreen 1st Sep 2015		Live Music St. Ives September Festival 2015 @ St. Ia's Church	French duo making their St. Ives debut.
RadoxTheGreen 24th Aug 2015		TV Earth 2 (1994 - 1995)	I didn't know J Madison Wright had passed away. She had cardiomyopathy and had been given a heart transplant at the age of 15. She died just before her 22nd birthday from a heart attack. Only just got married too, that's so sad.
RadoxTheGreen 23rd Aug 2015		CD Album Ian Dury - New Boots And Panties!!	I have this same album. Mine is identical in cover, apart from the the front sticker (which only mentions 1 extra track). All the bonus tracks are the same and it has the same spelling error on the back cover for the "Clevor Trever" track. The disc inside is orange and marked CNR Music (at that time they were part of the distributors "Arcade group" ). No mention of the Hit Label on the CD at all, just CNR. Same bar code and cat no. on the cover, but different number on the CD. I'll upload the images as variations when I get a chance.
RadoxTheGreen 11th Aug 2015		TV Bird Of Prey 2 (1984)	I've never considered them to be the same.
RadoxTheGreen 11th Aug 2015		TV Bird Of Prey 2 (1984)	Bird of Prey was a 4-episode mini-series. This is the sequel. Bird of Prey was only ever intended to be a one off story. The sequel had to be freshly written due to favourable viewing figures and BBC pressure to bring back Henry Jay, hence the two year gap between shows. IMO it should be a separate entry; it's a sequel in the same way that A Very Polish Practice is a sequel to A Very Peculiar Practice. Basically, Bird of Prey was about pen pusher Henry Jay uncovering a Europe-wide conspiracy on his incredibly huge 64k computer, which took up half the room and was described by the salesman as "portable" (but had to be delivered as it wouldn't fit in Henry's car). Bird Of Prey 2 was the story of Henry running for his life from the crooks revenge. It contained a plot twist at the end (spoilers!) which didn't sit well with me as it seemed totally ludicrous that his wife would be involved in that way.
RadoxTheGreen 9th Aug 2015		TV The Comedians (1971 - 1992)	Review Stand up comedy routines edited together to produce a show designed for a 30-minute TV slot (incl. adverts). Each show went straight into the routines (there was no presenter). The series ran from 1971 to 1974, was revived in 1979 to 1980 for two series, and for another two series in 1984 to 1985. A final one series revival was attempted in 1992. Comedians featured: Russ Abbot, Lennie Bennett, Stan Boardman, Jim Bowen, Jimmy Bright, Duggie Brown, Mike Burton, Dave Butler, Brian Carroll, Frank Carson, Mike Coyne, Jimmy Cricket, Colin Crompton, Pauline Daniels, Charlie Daze, Vince Earl, Steve Faye, Eddie Flanagan, Stu Francis, Ken Goodwin, Jackie Hamilton, Jerry Harris, George King, Bobby Knutt, Bernard Manning, Mike McCabe, Paul Melba, Mick Miller, Hal Nolan, Tom O'Connor, Tom Pepper, Bryn Phillips, Mike Reid, George Roper, Harry Scott, Sammy Thomas, Johnny Wager, Roy Walker, Charlie Williams, Lee Wilson, Lenny Windsor 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
RadoxTheGreen 8th Aug 2015		TV Orbit (1974)	You're probably right about it being only local, Zabadak. Back then ITV had a lot more regional broadcasts than they do today. Saturday mornings would be turned over to the local stations to do their own children's shows. The "moan rocket" would deliver letters to the show. I remember being surprised when the village up the road got a mention one day. They did a live show from the Royal Bath & West Show one year. Chester was in a hand cart sealed in a protective bubble (probably to stop the kids from breaking him). Chester was LOUD! I was stood next to the cart and nearly got deafened when he started laughing. HTV liked their puppets, I remember Annie St. John doing continuity and reading out kids letters with "Oscar", the world's most unconvincing owl puppet (it was on a stick in her hand). I was gutted when I heard she'd died. Then Alan Taylor went 7 years later and it was like my childhood died with him. As I put on the picture's mouseover note, best childrens presenter EVER!

RadoxTheGreen 6th Aug 2015		TV The Ghosts Of Motley Hall (1976 - 1978)	Yes, it's on DVD. There were also some paperback books of the series too. Carryonsidney, the boy you're thinking of is the ghost of Matt the footman. Unlike the other ghosts he could leave the hall and venture into the grounds. The actor who played him was killed in a road accident 3 years after this series.
RadoxTheGreen 3rd Aug 2015		TV The Ghosts Of Motley Hall (1976 - 1978)	It's worth tracking down Neil. Superb series that puts a lot of today's shows to shame, both kids shows and adults.
RadoxTheGreen 29th Jul 2015		TV Fangface (1978)	Ooh! Ooh! Where's Puggs? Lemme at him!
RadoxTheGreen 28th Jul 2015		TV Carnivàle (2003 - 2005)	[YouTube Video]
RadoxTheGreen 28th Jul 2015		TV Deal Or No Deal [UK] (2005 - 2016)	Not if you live in the UK. I'd never heard of the US version.
RadoxTheGreen 26th Jul 2015		DVD Angels & Demons - Sony Pictures Home Entertainment	Disney's "Tangled" and "Little Mermaid" were inspired by anime too, it doesn't make them into one. "The Matrix" was based on "Ghost In the Shell", but no one would consider The Matrix to be anime either. The "inspired by" info should go in the notes but its not the genre of the movie.
RadoxTheGreen 26th Jul 2015		DVD Angels & Demons - Sony Pictures Home Entertainment	In what way is this anime?
RadoxTheGreen 20th Jul 2015		TV Models Inc. (1994 - 1995)	I was once told by a model agent "friend" that they could get me a part in this show. Then it got cancelled.
RadoxTheGreen 18th Jul 2015		TV The Moomins (1977 - 1983)	At least it wasn't the video with the Groak. I might still be able to sleep, even if I dream of dead squirrels.
RadoxTheGreen 17th Jul 2015		DVD Titanic - Paramount	The precedent on other worlds is that if the catalogue number is different it should be a separate entry.
RadoxTheGreen 17th Jul 2015		TV Uchū Kaizoku Captain Harlock (1978 - 1979)	Title screen is from the Special Edition DVD release. Also added alternative title screen, again from DVD release.
RadoxTheGreen 16th Jul 2015		TV Chelmsford 123 (1988 - 1990)	"They call me Mungo the Evasive". "Do They?" "Who wants to know?"
RadoxTheGreen 16th Jul 2015		TV Boston Legal (2004 - 2008)	Candice Bergen plays Shirley Schmidt, not the other way around. I have corrected this.
RadoxTheGreen 14th Jul 2015		TV Andy Pandy (1950 - 1952)	That might be their official "excuse" harley, but I suspect it had a lot more to do with trying to get people to buy colour TVs. When they first came out they didn't sell that well due to their high price and lack of colour programmes. Most of the country couldn't get the all colour channel BBC2 for about 5 years after its launch. The BBC brought back several popular shows for just one or two series to get people to buy a new set. I suspect this was revived for that reason more than worn out tapes, and it wouldn't surprise me if they still showed the b/w episodes even after the colour series debuted.
RadoxTheGreen 12th Jul 2015		TV Space Night (1994 - Now)	I wasn't sure if this should still be classed as a programme or if it's now a programme block. However, BR TV call it a programme and it's their show so who am I to argue. It certainly started as a programme (see the video from the 90s I think?), but it's grown a bit over the years. The video is a clip by the way, the actual programme broadcasts through the night.

RadoxTheGreen 12th Jul 2015		TV All Gas And Gaiters (1966 - 1971)	Often incorrectly considered a prequel to "Oh Brother!", due to Derek Nimmo playing a similar style of charcter, All Gas and Gaiters actually outlasted Oh Brother! by one year.
RadoxTheGreen 11th Jul 2015		TV Andy Pandy (1950 - 1952)	Well,as general consensus is all of us remembering it from the 60s, I'll ignore Wiki and imdb and edit the entry accordingly.
