[Misc] BBC programme about the 1963 freeze

[marlowe]

Above programme in is on now.

Just watched it. The end credits revealed the programme designer to be Ridley Scott, who later went on to direct Hollywood blockbusters Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator and Thelma and Louise.

I checked Wiki to check if it was the same Ridley Scott and it confirmed that Set Designer for the BBC was his first job after he graduated in 1963.

Thanks for that - I need a break from the News, so I'll give that a watch.

Ditto.

I end each day watching lighter subjects.

Today - 1963 doc, The Apprentice (have a great laugh with my daughter) and some ‘trash TV’ on Amazon Prime. A large G&T helps too

Thoroughly enjoyed that - thanks again!

I also enjoyed the majority of a nice little bottle of Merlot, too.
