Here's my starter for 10 - we used to watch this program *religiously* back in the mists of time, we'd jump in the Capri, zoom down to the local Chinese take-away, and stuff our faces while watching ... The Water Margin. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvd6s6q_LxU Reply to this message | Report message

That has to be one of the best openings of any tv series. Book him Dano. (dano died last month!) I love old TV series. This is my current favourite, but there are so many, www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRaB1aJ_Adw&feature=related Reply to this message | Report message

Ah, the World of Sport. Never has so much been promised (log rolling, cliff diving, Eric Morecambe) and so little delivered (Queen of the South - nil. Wolverhampton Wanderers - nil). An excellent hummable theme is www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKjFgdgp7yY The worst theme ever written, notwithstanding the appeal of a delightful cushion called Humphrey and "in-her-day-delectable-but-by-criminey-look-at-her-now" Louise Hall-Taylor is undoubtedly www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7IPwCLHxgU Reply to this message | Report message

The film was on the box the other night, caught the credits - the male lead, Michael York, was badly cast with his strange plummy accent (I could never get on with it) Ms Agutter was perfect of course - bits filmed in Fort Worth.. Reply to this message | Report message
