BiggieTembo-45worlds 27th Jun 2015 |  | TVThe Day Of The Triffids (1981) | Saw this as a kid when they first broadcast it way back when in the UK. BBC1 I believe, on a Saturday night? Or a Tuesday night? Scary series' always used to be shown on Tuesdays, if I remember rightly... (Check out Maelstrom, if someone uploads that...)
Anyway... The first episode was one of the creepiest things I'd ever seen up to that point. Some guy alone in a hospital, eyes bandaged, feeling his way around all manner of drip stands and wheelchairs and calling, "hello!?" etc. Brrrrrr still remember it today... A great example of something being more scary because of what you DON'T see... :-s

BiggieTembo-45worlds 19th Jun 2015 |  | TVBottom (1991 - 1995) | Yeah Mono, it weren't a bad show, if you wanted to just forget about everything and watch two funny guys bash the sh*t out of each other in some sort of Tom & Jerry/Road Runner cartoon violence pastiche. Did I like it? Hell yeah!
One memorable quote, totally out of context, which I have remembered, for some reason or another:
Eddie: Welcome to Eddie's Bar!

BiggieTembo-45worlds 10th Jun 2015 |  | TVThe Beverly Hillbillies (1962 - 1971) | Well listen to my story 'bout a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed
Went out one day, started shootin' at some food
When up from the ground came a bubblin' crude
Oil, that is
Black Gold. Texas T
Funny, these lyrics are ingrained in my memory.
Maybe someone can confirm that the actress who played Granny, was actually the youngest in real life, compared to the other actors? Was that true?
I'm off to clean the Cement Pond now ;-)
