Sounds like Anneka had massive nawks. I love your subtlety.

I like both Brenda Blethyn and Simon Callow. Was Chance In A Million funny? Where could I find it do you suppose?

I wasn't really a fan of Treasure Hunt, but I liked Challenge Anneka, and, yes, her **** tended to feature quite prominently in the show.

Well, otherwise it would mean that the cameraman would have to walk backwards.

Re: Television of Yesteryear.

Ghosts of Motley Hall was very good and I think I liked it better than Rent-a-Ghost.

There was a similarly-titled series called The Ghosts of Faffner Hall (or some title like that) in the late 1980s - I am sure that the characters were Spitting Image-alike puppets on them.

The Ghosts of Motley Hall.
Fantastic series made 1976 starring Arthur English. The series was about ghosts living in a disused mansion.

Barney Miller.
Many may not recall this american sitcom. A comedy about a precinct.

Ghosts of Motley Hall was very good and I think I liked it better than Rent-a-Ghost.

I do remember Barney Miller but not all that well. I think it was shown fairly late at night.
