    British TV in the 1970s was such a small world!

    Came across a wonderful short sit-com called "Don't Drink the Water." Starring Stephen Lewis and Pat Coombs. It was a spin-off from 'On The Buses.'

    Laurel & Hardy

    As a child I loved Laurel and Hardy. I recall my mother laughing hysterically when Stan and Ollie were in bed together. I couldn't see the funny side of this as a youngster.

    jokes bad or otherwise.

    Heard this joke on TV yesterday. Why do scarecrows make excellent professors? Because they are out-standing in their field.

    Sci-Fi

    I recall watching the Outer Limits (b/w) in the late 70s. I think it use to be on late on Saturdays.

    Why does the water turn white?

    The white colour is due to multiple scattering of light. The water falling produces lots of small bubbles that produce lots of reflections. If you break a mirror or glass, this too looks white, again due to multiple scattering of 'white' light.

    It ain't hot mum was a classic. TV channels would be reluctant to air them now

    Commentary

    I have been watching One Foot in the Grave. Each series have one commentary episode. This is very useful as it gives you an insight to the sit-com. I cannot recall any commentary in LOTSW, unless I have missed it in the DVD box set. Are there any commentaries?

    Tennis and Summer Wine

    I particularly noticed these days football players and managers placing their hand by the mouth when talking. Obviously, to avoid been lip-read. I wonder if this all started with the John Terry incident?

    Gentle Comedies

    I've been watching One Foot in the Grave, starring Richard Wilson. Fantastic series, but I can see why there was controversy as regards cruelty to animals, though I was not genuine.

    Why is PC determined to destroy the world

    Ironically, I was just watching Harry Enfield's 'Women, know your limits', about the inferiority of women. I don't think it can be shown now.

    Memories of Days gone by

    Only yesterday I was reminiscing an event that occurred in the early 70s. I was at a funfare (might be Battersea park). I was probably about 7 years old. I recall been given a bean bag or a tennis ball. I threw it at a circular silver target and hit it. Suddenly, this beautiful blonde woman in a...
