Inspiration for Bob Fleming

Country Matters… ARSE

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I used to love Muffin The Mule before I got that prosecution by the RSPCA

 

[pwlr1966]

Survivors - 1975 post apocalyptic by Terry Nation or 1980's 'The Adventure Game'

 

[Is it PotG?]

Drop The Dead Donkey - every episode was chaotic brilliant comedy. Reminded of this, as the actress Hadyn Gwynne sadly passed away this week.

Sadly any chance of reliving this classic have gone up the spout, the week it's on at the Theatre Royal coincides with european travel for the first leg.
Boooooo.

Country Matters… ARSE

The actual clip that truly spawned Bob

 

[albionant]

A list of great but forgotten or never to be repeated TV shows. I remember this one in the late 80's , early 90's and I seem to remember it had a certain Mr Jason Orange from Take That in it. It was on Channel 4 I think.

Killer Net.

Any others ?.

He was a god to my fishing/love of the countryside and history Dad. Cozy Friday evenings.

Loved Monkey- very surreal. Also Kung Fu with David Carradine.

Shame that Dream Team was never repeated/released on DVD. Wonder why?

Jeux sans frontiers was an international It's a knockout. Great entertainment.

Been re-watching Tales of the Unexpected recently. Nowhere near as creepy or disturbing as I remember.

VR5

 

[wunt be druv]

"Blockbusters" - with the classic line "I'll have a P please Bob" although I did have an irrational urge to want to punch some of the smarmy smart-arse 6th. form college type contestants...

 

[Happy Exile]

Garth Marenghi's Dark Place was a favourite of mine that disappeared far too quickly

 

[Questions]

‘The French are a peasant nation’
Good old Jack.

‘The French are a peasant nation’
Good old Jack.

He says it with a fair amount of disdain too. Plenty of bonus points there.

No surprise he hated the french. He wasnt even keen on people from sussex or Kent. Just about tolerated those from dorset.

He used to go out fishing once a year from Littlehampton in some competition and he was seasick from the moment the boat went past the end of the Arun.
