Roy Clarke wrote an unmade pilot episode for a Basildon Bond series, called “008 – The Real James Bond”.

I think it could be , looks like , even in the snippet we see, it's the way Ivy's deportment was in most shots when dressed and out with the ladies , the arm position is the give away .

Is that Ivy next to Pearl in the background?.

The first one I had was a proper fixed Carphone, then the transportable arrived which came with the option to remove the transceiver from the car and slot it into the portable device, then the Motorola 8000 came out making it easier to...

I worked for four or five years as process control programmer (but mostly computer hardware specialist) in a factory making glass tubing. Because the PDP-8 computers were old and prone to failure, I was on call 24/7/365. Back then phone...

I worked for BT from 1989 for 25 years. We all had pagers, but our job meant were were often on sites with no phone line. We had one mobile between six in the office. Similar to this Motorola - but bigger! When BT was promoting more...

I feel for Doug Naylor all that effort , writing most of what was asked of him only for some numbskull no mark from U and Dave to turn around and say thanks but we are changing direction and we won't be making this type of show any more...

There's added complications that come into play such as Chris Barrie's recovery from an unspecified illness. We should take solace in the fact we had a decent revival and although it's true glory days were on the BBC the Dave era was an...
