Spot the Lion??? Rigged AF.
Thanks so much for these, just noted the date on the clock at the start said 1983, but this is clearly a 1985 episode.
Ah… ME14 5LL can't forget that postcode! Any Motormouth coming?
Neil Buchanan's accent!!! I'd forgotten he had a string scouse voice in this.
Ahhhh super gran! Remember they used to have the bike hanging up in tynemouth where it was filmed
Jeannie, Hazel, played a friend of Mike Baldwin’s in Corrie in 1986!
This was the most astounding and revolutionary programme to ever be broadcast
Whatever happened to Sandi Toksvig?
The Alarm perform their latest single "Absolute Reality", which was at its chart peak of No.35 at the time of this episode. They close the show with the closing track from their debut album Declaration, "Howling Wind".
Billy Connolly!! 😂
YAY! I was like Number 73.
