  1. There’s something quietly extraordinary about the Up series — checking in every seven years and realising you’ve been growing older alongside them.
    I’ve followed it for decades, and every instalment feels like catching up with old friends… their lives, their choices, their joys and regrets. It’s one of the most human pieces of television ever made.
    Really looking forward to the final chapter, 70 Up, a fitting end to a series that has captured a lifetime.

  2. Is this what the British Public actually get up on Fridays nights because this is nothing compared to the heady days of the 90s late Friday night TV, remember 'The Word?'

  4. Onto episode 2 (“Where Shall the ‘nighted Showman Go?”) of our latest annual rewatch of the 1984 BBC TV version of The Box of Delights. Today’s episode included the purple pim, scrobbled, splendiferous and the bloodhounds of the law. cultbox.co.uk/features/rewind/ #BoxOfDelights #BritishTV #ChildrensTV #80sTV #JohnMasefield #PatrickTroughton

  5. There’s a couple of #SomeMothersDoAveEm #documentaries on the iPlayer at the moment, that aired on #BBC4 last week. I’ll give a link to the latest one in the comments, but the earlier 1977 documentary expires on the #iPlayer this month. So watch it soon if you want to see it. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001 #TVComedy #TV #Comedy #70sTV #MichaelCrawford #BritishTV
