Clip from British comedy film - female character wearing jodhpurs

[George 1978]

There was a clip on YouTube not too long ago which was recorded rom the Tyne Tees region in around mid 1994 (around the time of the World Cup?) which featured a trailer for one of those half-hour programmes which showed random clips from British comedy films; it was either called Make 'em Laugh; Just...

If it was 1970s then it was before my time as well. Sounds as if HTV made the series if it was shown on ITV....

It rings a bell - was this on in the post-World of Sport / Robin of Sherwood sort of slot of 5.30 pm on ITV on Saturdays during the spring and summer mlonths, circa 1985-1986? I think that there was a series called Return to Treasure Island or something like that.

And looking at the IMDB, I am reminded of THE BLOB! Yes, that was the sinister man which I previously referred to. Nothing to do with Mr Blobby, I am afraid.

To be fair, they do say "break a leg" to actors!

Radio 4 also transmitted a radio adaptation also called Henry's leg around Christmas 1998 and was repeated in August 2001. By the way, his bedroom was called Midford Tip because of how messy and untidy it was according to Henry's mother.

Ann Pilling wrote the book it was based on in 1...

I thought that it was Henry's Leg as well - it was set in the fictional town of Midford and Courtney Roper-Knight played the title role of 11-year-old Henry Hooper (not Cooper!). His bedroom was called Midford Tip. Despite Courtney usually being a girls' name, it was definately a boy who appeared in...

But at least you learn about "body parts" and how girls were different to boys. I am still kin touch with one of ,my Biology teachers from the past....

I didn't like catching balls either (and I don't mean that in its Carry On sense either...)

The only thing I liked about swimming was the fact that the lesson was out of school as my school didn't have a swimming pool on the premises (although when the rain leaked through the clasroom roof...

I walked (well, just like the majority of youngsters who lived within the catchment area of the school that they attended, it was rather pointless to take the bus).

Also, the retired Scotish figure skater Sinead Kerr wasn't just in the same school year as me if we had went to school together, but we were also both born on the same day! Managed to get her autograph in 2021 when she signed it on "our" birthday!

Two days later and we would have...
