I already own them all on DVD, but it's so much easier streaming them. I gave up on the mission of watching them all in order, as some of those early Hartnell ones are a bit dull tbh. I swear that time actually does go into reverse anytime I attempt to watch The Web Planet or The Sensorites (even though the latter has Peter 'Crackerjack!' Glaze in it) but I'll never grow tired of watching Tom Baker at his best in the mid-70s golden era. I've also watched Hetty Wainthropp Investigates on there, but that's another story. .

Taking a while to get used to the slower pace but so far so good Pertwee picks up speed after the first season. Those early seven parters are hard work. I'm currently watching his final season. Not that well regarded by many fans, but it's one of my favourites as it's the time I became absolutely hooked on Doctor Who as a kid, and the opening titles that year are still the best ever, IMO. .

It has lost its charm, it needs beefing up, it maybe needs a half-way CSI type moosh Pretty much every working british actor has been though its doors. I can see why they like a couple of weeks on the island while being paid! With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game.

Treat yourself to this instead. The EBU/BBC have uploaded the 1974 ESC, hosted in Brighton, in full on YouTube for one week only. Featuring ABBA, Olivia Newton-John, Katie Boyle, a beardy bloke from Netherlands with a fake hurdy-gurdy, a song that started a revolution, another song that influenced a referendum (allegedly), an incomprehensible scoring system and lots and lots of polyester.

gazza77 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 We've been re watching Spooks since lockdown started. I only picked it up in 2007, after I met my now wife, so early series were new to me. Series 10 was completed on Saturday evening, so just the film left. It surprised me how little it felt to have aged given it started in 2002, with the only things that really dated it to me were the cars, mobile phones and a fixation with boot cut jeans for the lead characters. 1 Please view my photos. http://www.hughesphoto.co.uk/ Little Nook Farm - Caravan Club Certificated Location in the heart of the Pennines overlooking Hebden Bridge and the Calder Valley. http://www.facebook.com/LittleNookFarm Little Nook Cottage - 2-bed self-catering cottage in the heart of the Pennines overlooking Hebden Bridge and the Calder Valley.

Bleep1673 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Great film last night, Clint Eastwood in A Fistful of Dollars, I have the box set of the next ones, A few Dollars More, Good, Bad & Ugly & Hang 'em High, although the most understated one was On A Pale Horse. Spaghetti westerns were always great, even though they were filmed in Spain Sergio Leoni was as atmospheric as the Ghibli films are.
