Roughly the weight of three African bush elephants, this noble beast still proudly sits on the vacant lot where the Smiths' living room used to be 50 years ago.
Got a new video on my RetroSpectives channel. A nostalgic look-back at ten (plus four honourable mentions) of the most memorable UK TV adverts with the greatest musical jingles.
My spouse has been working his way through the 80s TV series Dynasty, and I absolutely see how this was played in every gay bar in the world when it aired. Outrageous fashion, ridiculous cat fights, boy toys, and sass galore.
I bought a Sony Jackal 300 TV/radio/tape player. Most of this won't work outside of Japan, but that hasn't stopped me in the past. #crt#crtrepair#retrotv
Man from Atlantis (1977) was the first of four successful TV-movies, to be followed by an unsuccessful series. It's a reasonably interesting story about a water-breathing man from Atlantis stuck in the modern world. Features a fine mad scientist.
Venus Smith, the forgotten Avengers girl. She was Steed's partner in six 1963 episodes. Fascinatingly different from the other Avengers girls. She had zero combat skills but she was a useful agent. And quite charming.
My father was a fan of #TheAvengers - the British spy TV series that ran from 1961-9. That passion trickled down to me as I explore the many different eras: #DavidKeel, #CathyGale, #EmmaPeel, & #TaraKing.
Really been enjoying #BigFinish’s audio recreations of Season 1 - which for the most part have been lost to time. Fun to “see” #JohnSteed’s development into the gentleman spy we all know and love. #BritishTV#RetroTV#NoIronMan
