Although I think we were possibly just waiting for the soft porn labelled ‘red triangle’ films that they had on late at night. Or so I heard Ahhh the red Triangle .... I remember the first Saturday they used the Red Triangle for their films. I had been out drinking and got in around midnight. I bobbed the telly on and flicked through all 4 channels. The Channel 4 film had the Red Triangle in the corner of the screen and I thought ‘Wahhhaaayy’. After about 10 minutes I thought ‘This is one heck of a long lead up to a fruity scene’. I didn’t realise that the Triangle was always shown throughout the whole film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver Reed, superb actor, greatly missed, especially in the Hart near the Brompton, great raconteur, but dont pick a fight with him.

Hilarious guy who love the Workers in the NHS, Friday night his card was always behind the bar for one drink each. When Reed was in the mood and in the right film, he had a more powerful screen presence than most. I remember Channel 4 showing a (I think) uncut, or largely uncut version of 'The Devils' and he was magnificent. 1 "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life.

Slap a new cover on an old novel, get it placed in a prominent position in the bookshop/supermarket and some buyers think it’s a new book by one of their favourite authors.

Futtocks Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) This is what I deserve for not checking the Forces TV listings often enough; I just found out they've been showing the science fiction series "V" for the last few months, and I've missed nearly all of it.

You are both right. Was channel hopping the other day and came across an episode of Escape To The Country. Watched the last ten minutes and then the credits roll and saw it was made in 2002, 18 years ago. What is the point in showing a program of that type ( ie what you can get for your money etc) that's 18 years old. Jam Eater 1.(noun. jam eeter) A Resident of Whitehaven or Workington. Offensive. It is now a term of abuse that both towns of West Cumbria use for each other especially at Workington/Whitehaven rugby league derby matches.

DavidM Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Looking at the schedules ITV are really struggling , with repeats and films filling prime time every day .
