philmayfield 6,139 Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Just setting the table for dinner (servants have day off on Sundays) and I noticed that Bradley Walsh was on some quiz program in the sitting room TV but also, at the same time, on the kitchen TV in Doctor Who. How can this be? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 That's a coincidence, he was also on our TVs. The wonders of technology! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,139 Posted October 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Really! It gets spookier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 It certainly is. I'd check the other telly in the bog to see if he's on there too but I'm busy watching a programme about a 'wheeler dealer' geezer that buys cars, spends the same again in bits, gets his mechanic who takes ages to fix them up and sells them for a few quid more than he originally paid. Fascinating stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,139 Posted October 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Well he’s not on ‘Strictly’ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob.L 1,090 Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 TBI, Ah, Wheeler Dealers. Better to record it so that you can fast forward through the parts when Mike Brewer is on. As a presenter, he’s more irritating than a dose of head lice. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How can this be? So are you now warming to the idea of a female doctor, Phil? Or was it your wife who was watching? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,139 Posted October 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 We don't watch Dr. Who - never have. It was there when I switched on so I changed channel quickly! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,283 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I shall be watching next weeks episode last week. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I stopped watching Dr Who when they changed the Doctor, the bloke that was in Carry on Sergeant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I watched the very first series of Dr Who with my dad. We loved it. The new series is a big improvement on the last two. It is refreshing to have a new female Dr Who with a Yorkshire accent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was that the first series with William Hartnell from The Army Game? I agree - it went downhill after that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Yes the first Dr Who was William Hartnell. I do not remember the Army Game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonab 1,644 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Army Game ITV, Friday nights after Take Your Pick 'starring' Michael Miles with Alec Dane on the gong in the Yes-No interlude and Bob Danvers Walker doing the narration. "Take the money or open the box" was one of the famed catchphrases of the show. Must not forget Double You Money on Mondays and Thursdays 'starring' Hughie Green (and his 'assistant' Monica Rose). What a cultured childhood! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonab 1,644 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Those two are of a later era and I had more interesting things to do. Also, Bob Monkhouse had the unique talent for inducing instant nausea in me so I was unable to watch the programme. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I agree Bob Monkhouse came across as very smarmy and sickly on telly. We had him as the entertainment at one of our firm's Christmas do's and he was simply brilliant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,139 Posted October 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 There used to be a ‘Great International Sporting Club’ event at the Albany each year. A boxing evening organised br Reg King. Formal dinner, dinner jackets, no cheering during the fights, just applause. Midway through the evening there would be a top comedian. Bob Monkhouse was one. Very blue for the men only occasion but extremely funny. My favourite was Bernard Manning. Not to everyone’s taste I agree! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
