You have 23 days, and counting, to watch the television series that made modern television.


Dennis Potter's classic drama serial with music. Pulp thriller writer Philip Marlow is in hospital with the skin complaint psoriasis, tormented by his past and threatened by his future. His memories, his 1930s-style gumshoe fiction and his disease weave him an altered reality.

Been waiting for this for an age.

Sat through two Top of the Pops shows from the early 90's on BBC4 last night having just been through another batch of chemotherapy, so in 'bag of shit' mode.

Talk about bloody awful !!! I've come to the conclusion that all children of the 90's should be taken out back, brick wall, small pea shooter ... (you are not worthy of the mighty 50 calibre.)

As a child of the 60's and 70's, Oh how are the mighty fallen.

:P:P

Music went a bit shite then, didn't it? And the fashions!!! I'm glad I grew up in the 60s & 70s.

I think as a general rule, people will always think that the music/fashion of their era was the greatest. Which is my way of saying the 80s and 90s were clearly better!!! 😜

(I am talking more alternative genres of music than the likes of Take That, mind..... yes, I watched TOTP last night too)

I'm afraid comparing the 90's music to the 60's/70's music is like comparing a clapped out Mini-moke to a Chieftain Tank !!!

:P:P:P:P :sing::sing::urgh::urgh:

I mean, i realise this is a poor attempt at trolling, but this is so demonstrably tosh that even in your dotage you should really be ashamed.

I think that Bob was replying to my tongue-in-cheek post with an equally jokey tone, hence the generous dump of emojis at the end.

If I'm wrong, Bob, do let me know so I can rescind my taking it in good spirit and call you an absolute bastid.
