ivans82 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Very sad to hear of the death of Michael Angelis , a top class actor who i always thought added greatly to anything he appeared in . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know very, very little about films and tv, but Michael Angelis left a big impression on me as a youngster. Boys from the Blackstuff was a smack-in-the-chops kind of tv show when I was maybe 12 or 13 years old, a real eye-opener in the unforgettable days of Thatcherism. But what I really remember Angelis for was a screenplay, also by Alan Bleasedale I think, called No Surrender, which I didn't watch until I was a politicised student at the end of the 80s. I watched it over and over and loved the characters, especially Angelis as the nightclub manager. https://www.comedy.co.uk/film/no_surrender/ R.I.P. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolford6 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 My van doesn't have a cd player so I transferred loads of stuff onto a memory stick ... over 2000 tracks. I never play whole abums in the van, just leave the stick on "random play". I was driving yesterday when Hellraiser by Sweet came on to play. I haven't got any Sweet albums so it must be on a compilation album. Under Scrutiny by the Right-On Thought Police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
