Oztalgian 3,294 Posted March 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 I did enjoy laughing at Only Fools and Horses but I much preferred Nicholas Lyndhurst in Goodnight Sweetheart a program with a very unique story line. For me Trigger, (Roger Lloyd-Pack) was the stand out in OF&H. Just wish we could watch them again, some episodes are available on YT. YT ha hundreds of episodes on LOTSW too Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,294 Posted March 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Sorry Ben, Can't give you a like for that one as far as I am concerned apart from some notable classic exceptions the 70's was a lost decade of decent music when compared to the 60's. There was far too much mush and I did not enjoy much of theĀ Glam Rock. Here are all the UK number 1 hitsĀ of the seventies have a listen and see what you think.

Oztalgian 3,294 Posted March 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Sorry Enigma, that is a really woeful version of the John Denver classic a pretty poor attempt at Sinatraising a great song. John Denvers' version with Cass Elliot is great but the best by far is by Peter Paul and Mary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
