Dad's Army" was a long running British comedy series created and written
by Jimmy Perry and David Croft. The idea of a series came to Jimmy Perry when he realised that many people had forgotten about
the contribution the Home Guard had made to the British Home Front during the years of the Second World War.
Commencing in 1968, "Dad's Army" ran on BBC Television for 9 years with over eighty
episodes spread within 10 series. The series is set in a small fictional seaside town called Walmington-on-Sea somewhere on
the South Coast of England. "Dad's Army" is also remembered for its first class actors which starred amongst its credits,
Arthur Lowe as Captain Mainwaring, John Le Mesurier as Sergeant Arthur Wilson and Clive Dunn as Lance Corporal Jack Jones.

MOONBASE 3
A BBC production, the six episodes of Moonbase 3 first aired
in 1973 and for twenty years was thought lost for all time when the corporation wiped the tapes as part of an ill-conceived
recycling policy. Until 1993, when an export copy of the series was discovered in Canada
Set in the far-off future of 2003, Moonbase
3 tells the story of Europe's under-funded outpost on the Earth’s satellite and the adventures of its overworked,
overstressed staff—especially its new director, Dr. David Caulder (Donald Houston) who, in the first episode, tells his multi-national lieutenants (including Alan Bates as a thoroughly detestable Frenchman) that in the harsh lunar environment "we must love one another or we will die."

So Haunt Me
This is a story of Yetta Feldman, a ghost no less. who haunts a detached house in Meadow Road, scaring
off anyone who tries to move in. That is until she meets the Rokeby's, a typical family who decide to help Yetta out.
This is one of Britain's long forgotten, but popular at the time, sitcoms. Like Yetta herself it seems
to rest in peace, but maybe, in this day of popular ghost related programmes like Most Haunted and movies like White Noise,
So Haunt Me is long overdue for a revival!

PORRIDGE
Ronnie Barker as FletchPorridge was a sitcom created by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais and
was originally broadcast on the BBC in the 1970s. It centered on the lives of the inmates of Slade Prison in the wilds of
Cumbria (or Cumberland as it was known then). The central character was Norman Stanley Fletcher aka Fletch played brilliantly
by Ronnie Barker. Co-starring as guards were Brian Wilde and Fulton Mackay.
The show spawned a sequel, Going Straight, in 1978 following Fletch and Godber's lives after
they left prison.
Porridge gained its title from British slang. Serving time in Prison is known as "doing porridge"
referring to the traditional breakfast dish commonly served in British prisons in times passed.

MORE RONNIE BARKER
Clarence -
In 1937, on the day of King George VI's coronation, Clarence Sale, a very near sighted, clumbsy removal
man is clearing the house of a snooty upper-class lady who is moving abroad. There, he meets Jane Travers, her maid. The pair are mutually attracted and soon Clarence proposes to her. Jane decides that they should have a trial period
of living together in a small cottage she has been given in an inheritance to see if they are compatible, with a bolster in
the bed to preserve her chasteness.
This 1988 series was Ronnie Barkers last before retirement.

The first two seasons were shot in black & white and the rest in color, but you look
closely at these prints they seem to come from 16mm film and like many US programs (like the TV "Batman") many of
these episodes seems to have faded to black & white.
Still very watchable and fun - we just have to do without the color.

THE GOOD LIFE
aka GOOD NEIGHERBORS
People living in the United Kingdom know this program as The Good Life.
This was how it was released and is the original title of the show. However, when it was released in the United States, the
title was changed to Good Neighbors. Nothing else was changed and the American release has the same flower,
bird and bee as the English release.
"The Good Life" follows the lives of two happily married couples who live next
door to each other. Tom and Barbara Good attempt to live completely self-sufficient lives (e.g. they make stinging nettle
soup), something which is quite hard considering they live in the suburbs. Their very conservative neighbours, Jerry and Margo
Ledbetter, look on, horrified at their bold experiment.

NEVERWHERE
Neverwhere is set in "London Below", a magical realm coexisting with the more familiar London
referred to as "London Above". It was devised by Neil Garman and Lenny Henry.
The idea for the story came from a conversation between Gaiman and Henry about a possible television
series. Henry suggested a story with tribes of homeless people in London. Gaiman was initially reluctant to commit, as he
feared that making the homeless appear "cool" would cause more young people to attempt to emulate the characters, but agreed
to expand it from there.
