What about the Friday rock show with Tommy Vance. Listening in bed as a youngun. πŸ‘¦
He did a connection thing, 3 songs with a link I think.

Good old days they were. πŸ˜πŸ‘

70 years after it first wowed and terrified audiences, Nigel Kneale’s The Quatermass Experiment ... is finally brought back to life
Finally?

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0450315/
The Quatermass Experiment
TV Movie
2005

Broadcast live from Longcross Studios in Surrey.
I think they are referring to returning to Ally Pally where it was first broadcast from originally and using/doing it as a radio play not an acted piece. So it should be fairly close to what my dad listened to 70 years ago. I love radio plays and so does dad so hopefully it'll be good.

A mate was in the tv version (as above)

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Greg-Bennett/e ... scns_share

Very good writer/author:
- 'hidden extra' books chronicle some of his exploits as an extra
- his fiction is very good, Trinity's Wake is very good (it's a follow-on to previous 'Tulliver' books)
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:

The Ally Pally event was fantastic, if long! Managed to catch the 2nd from last train but it was tight. Worth it though.

Cor, is a long time since anyone has been in here!

Yesterday one of Isabella's regular little gang of theatre goers dropped out which meant a spare ticket for Mrs Doutbtfire- usually I'd run a mile and rather stick wasps up my arse too than sit through a musical, but this one was supposedly a comedy and has had rave reviews, and they were good seats so I thought why not.
And am very glad I did, absolutely top entertainment, lots of laughs from some very talented actors, and I even enjoyed the singing- highly recommended and a 9/10 from me :thumbup:

The House and Garage Orchestra, 13 Dec.

https://thgo.co.uk/

Summary: get all the H&G artists who had hits in the last 25 years, get 'em to sing their best-known couple of songs with a full orchestra backing, take a bow, repeat ad-infinitum.
