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 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 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 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 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 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.
