July 28, 20224 yr Who knew that the Man from Del Monte was actually from Bolton? Brian Jackson obituary (msn.com) Anyhow RIP.
July 28, 20224 yr Think Bernard Cribbins has had a few mentions in the RL thread previously, really nice bloke and always happy and ready to have a chat with anyone. David Warner got skipped the other day, always thought he was a cracking actor regardless of the role.
July 28, 20224 yr Loved his Wombles voice overs, Jackanory storytelling and I can still remember laughing out loud at his character in a film called Mouse on the Moon. RIP Bernard and thank you x

July 31, 20224 yr First ever kiss between a white man and a black woman on TV, was groundbreaking at the time.

Was deemed too "deep" for viewers back then. 3rd series is pretty poor though, think they began to run out of idea's which is a bit ironic seen as there are at least 10 spin off shows and 12 (?) films

It didn't do well with it's original run due to scheduling, but took off when it was syndicated. Well worth a watch whether you are a fan or not https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15766736/

It wasn't an Australian show, it was British! And that was actually the second televised interracial kiss - the first was on a Granada TV play called "You in Your Small Corner" in 1962!! Edit: More lies!! The first was on an ITV show called "Hot Summer Night" in 1959!!! Edited August 1, 20224 yr by Cheese
