Yet ANOTHER TV show I need a Name For ----weird people on an island

[albie]

There are people who believe that we betray truths about ourselves if you reverse your speech. I reversed my own name once and it said quite clearly "A WALLY AND A GENTLEMAN." Tried it again years later...just nonsense.

Wally and a gentleman sums me up.

When I first became passionate about music in the 90s every song on an album was good. Now you get one good song per album. Mind, Dinosaur Jnr? One good song in their entire career. But nobody would class them with REM.

It was probably before ROBIN OF SHERWOOD's time. With my terrible memory it may have been late seventies! I was born 1973 and I recalled THE TOMORROW PEOPLE which was on from 73 to 79. Wasn't RETURN TO TREASURE ISLAND if you mean the Brian Blessed series that the net threw up.

Deffo wasn't...

[albie]

Pretty sure it was British: you'll see why.
It was on TV in the mid 80s. It involved a small gang of young people travelling around Britain and finding a part of the land that is normally cut off from the surrounding land by water. The stranded people were culturally backwards by hundreds of...

My first thought was Simon's Leg, but then I thought maybe SIMON AND THE WITCH might have infected the engram. I knew it was a name that has become unpopular....

[albie]

THAT'S THE BLIGHTER! That was an easy one, then? Or did you try every male name with LEG?...

[albie]

Walked for primary until high school. Had to pass a cluster of high rise flats. Always had a fear I'd see someone jump and land right near me.

[albie]

Same. Hated it and hate sport in general. But SWIMMING was the worst. Primary school it started. "Put your head under" Bosh. Not doing that again. Big fear of water ever since. I blame a life I lived in Atlantis....

[albie]

Teatime after school. Some not well off kid finds a false leg and someone has stashed money or gems in it and want it back. Mini series. he basically won't return it. I know. Half my childhood was badly remembered. I must be the youngest dementia sufferer in existence.

I think it's Colin's...

[albie]

Even sadder now. Since posting my OP one of the cast, my fave, Michael Keating has passed away. He played Vila....

[albie]

That's it! Thanks. From a flower to carrion? My memory! Just found it on Archive.org....

[albie]

If I'd just recalled that line...

Apparently it was mostly the work of bassist Keith Graham. Can't find him anywhere though. Would like to thank him....

[albie]

70s or early 80s. It may have been a series of unrelated films. It is about two rock star brothers who buy a stately home in a village and one of them is wrongly accused by the villagers of a crime against a woman and killed by them. The remaining brother keeps living there ruling over the repentant...

MASSIVE DOPAMINE HIT.

That's it! Thank you. A joy to hear again after 30 years. Was it the singing I did? I can delete it off soundcloud now!...

[albie]

Nope. I ruled out all those. It looked and felt like MORSE. Maybe it wasn't even John Thaw. But I was certain at the time I saw it. It was him....

[albie]

Anyone recall any of the amateur films they showed? They were quite disturbing. One had a black gloved man kidnap two kids then he stood them by open graves, gave them each an ice cream then we saw blood splatter over one of the ice creams. The kids had been shot! This was for kids and the films were...

[albie]

Miserable!!!!!!
Anyone else find it an oddly miserable tune for a sci fi show?

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ending maybe proved the writer of the tune right!

26. drinking cider every night. Watching TV and DVDs. Still doing all that but now I'm online from 6 am to 3am.

[albie]

I bought The Tomorrow People (1973 series) Boxset just to see this one story. Waste of cash and time...unless I missed a disk!?

Mystery in question. The world is being taken over by aliens who replace or possess people. To denote them being replaced they have a thin layer of clear plastic...

Mature of course. Melted between two slices of bread.


Winner winner...cheese sandwich dinner.
