Well here I go again, in my own inevitable way missing the 1st birthday of the second thread (as well as the first, sheesh) I started here - at least it shows consistency if even not a particularly helpful one. Odd thing is I am crap at remembering birthdays (and particular dates in general) in...

Mouse in the Kitchen (s2 ep1) - Rex the Runt (Aardman) Most only really know Aardman for Wallace & Gromit or Chicken Run, but they had some really weird stuff as well. This is some of it, s1 ep1 is in the comedy channel.

Holiday In Vince (s1 ep1) - Rex the Runt (Aardman) I'll probably post another episode in the animation thread, just way too much fun and should be better known.

Empire In My Mind - The Wallflowers

Well now, in all my own sense of self disaster and trying to deal with changes in life (made worse by the long drawn out nature of effect, consequence and resolution), I forgot to mark this thread's 1st birthday and say a simple thank you to all who have contributed or just enjoyed. It's all...

Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans - F. W. Murnau This was the absolute peak of the silent era, the mastery of lighting, cinematography and effects would remain unrivalled for years to come. The advent of synch sound destroyed everything that directors like Murnau achieved during this era as all...

King Of The Road - Roger Miller

Oxford Union Address 1958 - Gerard Hoffnung Since I mentioned this in my post on Hoffnung in the Top Albums thread, it felt remiss of me to not feature it here. It exemplifies so much of what makes English humour unique and as one who grew up on a steady diet of it, very much who we are now.

Such links across time and people are rare and to be cherished as you obviously do. Beautiful music for beautiful memories .

One (Is The Loneliest Number) - Three Dog Night

My Possession - Mark Stewart + Maffia

Hoffnung: A Last Encore - Gerard Hoffnung Working mainly for the BBC from the mid '50s to late '60s, he was a musician, artist, writer and broadcaster. During that time he was as well known in England (and Australia) as any other popular radio broadcaster, being most well known for his Oxford...

Que' Onda Guero - Beck well I picked great spot to reappear on, at least it wasn't x or z, but it soon shall be

The Auton Invasion was the first of the Pertwee era adventures with the original series being called "Spearhead From Space", hence your probable confusion. It was the first to feature the Autons (another Terrance Dicks creation) as the 'guest villain'. Pertwee was my grounding in Dr Who (in b&w)...
