carey jeggs 16th Sep 2023		TV I Claudius (1976)	I've been watching the re-run and discovered that Brian Blessed can whistle through his teeth.
carey jeggs 12th Jun 2020		TV The Tomorrow People (1973 - 1979)	Nicholas Young was interviewed a few years ago about this.A young woman had recognised him in the street and said that when she watched it as a child she had a crush on him .He asked her to go for a drink with him but she replied,'That was then.' You who turn the wheel and look to windward....etc.
carey jeggs 26th Nov 2019		TV The Musketeers (2014 - 2016)	I can't help thinking of Athos and D'Artagnan (Tom Burke & Luke Pasqualino) as Felix & Eddie.
carey jeggs 5th Jun 2019		TV Mosley (1998)	Spoiled by miscasting Jonathan Cake in the title role.He's a fine actor but far too handsome and louche.The real Mosley was a humourless stiff with a face like a potato.
carey jeggs 5th Sep 2018		TV University Challenge (1962 - Now)	Al Murray doesn't have this trouble. They were all male.
carey jeggs 31st Aug 2018		TV University Challenge (1962 - Now)	I never joke,007
carey jeggs 29th Aug 2018		TV University Challenge (1962 - Now)	In the new gender neutral version we've been promised perhaps there will be more questions about female painters e.g. Andrea Del Sarto, Alma Tadema & Joan Miro.
carey jeggs 3rd Apr 2018		TV Doc Martin (2004 - 2022)	Now that the DPP is stepping down she will have more time to play Mrs Tishell the pharmacist.
carey jeggs 15th Feb 2018		TV Only Connect (2008 - Now)	A moment to treasure from last week's show.There was a sequence question based on the titles of Ricky Gervais's tours.A team buzzed in and got it wrong and,when Victoria suggested that maybe they weren't Gervais fans,one bloke said something like,'My hatred of him shouldn't have stopped me getting that.' I love a bit of asperity to liven things up.
carey jeggs 24th Oct 2017		TV University Challenge (1962 - Now)	Hilarity on last night's show.On the music round Edwin Starr's War was played and a contestant thought it was T Rex.Almost as good as the one a few months ago when a Bo Diddley record was identified as being by Cole Porter.
carey jeggs 24th Oct 2017		TV Deal Or No Deal [UK] (2005 - 2016)	It has a kind of Zen quality.
carey jeggs 25th Jan 2017		TV Ask The Family (1967 - 1984)	Robert Robinson gave me the impression that he was sending it up himself the way he used to make fun of Eric Ilett's cheap animation effects and commenting on what nice middle class names the imaginary characters in the maths problems had. The usual pattern for parents was that Father would be the managing director of a light engineering company and Mother would be a 'teacha' who would refer to children as ch'ldr'n.
carey jeggs 7th Sep 2016		TV University Challenge (1962 - Now)	There was one of those questions this week. Starter for ten Negative e to the i pi is equivalent to what? Contestant buzzed in with -1 Wrong. Contestant from other team went for +1 and got it. I usually say 2.
carey jeggs 10th Aug 2016		TV Judge John Deed (2001 - 2007)	Written by a vegetarian and starring a vegetarian and don't we know it.The propaganda isn't subtle. One of those programmes that's so bad it's unmissable.
carey jeggs 25th Nov 2015		TV The Lone Ranger (1949 - 1957)	I think Bowie also had a problem stepping down from his role in The Virgin Soldiers.
carey jeggs 22nd Sep 2015		TV A Question Of Sport (1970 - Now)	Ooozzat? Oh! Good shaat. Has anybody noticed that Mike Sarne singing Come Outside sounds exactly like Phil Tufnel and vice versa.
carey jeggs 15th Sep 2015		TV The Galloping Gourmet (1968 - 1972)	When he invited a member of the audience to come up and sample what he'd cooked he'd give them the same fork he'd just used to taste it himself.
carey jeggs 2nd Sep 2015		TV Blackadder (1983 - 1989)	Very moving....as in off the settee and down to the pub.
carey jeggs 2nd Sep 2015		TV Survivors [1975-1977] (1975 - 1977)	The original Survivors was very non-PC.All the good,reliable people were middle class and the ones doing all the looting and generally causing trouble were either working class or Welsh.
carey jeggs 2nd Sep 2015		TV The Liver Birds (1969 - 1996)	Catholic wit,Protestant stiffness.That's nothing like how it is.These stereotypes were scathingly undermined in Julie Burchill's novel Married Alive and in Ms Burchill's work generally.
