albert 30th Aug 2016		TV La Cabina (1972)	Made by Spanish TV, this was foisted onto an unsuspecting British public to fill the gap after a sporting event finished early. I doubt many people can remember the sporting event, but probably everybody who saw La Cabina (The Telephone Box) will remember it. The film is available on the RTVE website, watch it here (with 10 minute introduction by the director).
albert 23rd Aug 2016		TV Man V. Food (2008 - 2012)	A man who eats that much food, I'd say don't let him use your toilet.
albert 20th Aug 2016		TV The Tube (1982 - 1987)	I young lady I knew used to appear in the audience pretty much every week, very weird seeing her Friday afternoon in class then on TV about 2 hours later. Great programme for chaotic interviews, if there was going to be trouble it always seemed to happen then, a couple of memorable ones were when Meatloaf crashed an interview with someone who had dissed him, and another with Divine (maybe?) when the crowd behind all started chanting Get Yer T!Ts Out, oh and another with Fay Waybill, things got very hostile with the crowd.
albert 20th Aug 2016		TV Bullseye (1981 - 2006)	You can't beat a bit of bully. So often the top prize would be won, and then lost, "you get nothing for two in a bed" I think the catch-phrase was. In recent times there was a board game produced and on the back of the box it knowingly showed a sample of prizes you could have won, reliant robin, boat etc Still, Bullseye was far better than that duff Snooker game show which I can't even remember the name of.
albert 19th Aug 2016		TV Captain Pugwash (1957 - 1966)	It may not have been in the script but I think there is a slip of the tongue at 1.43 on the clip for the first episode.
albert 19th Aug 2016		TV H. R. Pufnstuf (1969 - 1970)	I can vaguely remember 'witchiepoo' as the name got re-appropriated to an old bat who lived in our area.
albert 18th Aug 2016		TV Krtek (1957 - Now)	Not a series as such, but enough episodes eventually had been produced to warrant the occasional short series on TV. Krtek has been made available on DVD in many European countries, but not Britain, the copywrite seems to be fiercely protected so there are no samples available on youtube (except for people reading from the books and a bad copycat Mole from Russia or somewhere). There is no dialogue in the episodes except for ow's, ah's, children's giggles, and sound effects, so the series has a universal appeal to kids (and kid-ults). The Mole and his friends are very cute and the animation simple and distinctive. EDIT: I managed to find a news item that includes short segments of the original mole and a rather depressing new mole (best skip the last bit): [YouTube Video]
