I Feel The Earth Move never really gets enough attention as an early song about women enjoying sex, does it? Well, Carole King's version anyway. I'm not clear on what Martika was enjoying exactly.

Why did @estelleh.bsky.social think No. 73 was less hazardous than actual shared houses, even taking into account that time a guest was bitten by a snake live on air??

TV THAT TIME FORGOT: Pinocchio (BBC, 1978)

Shrieky splintery wishing-upon-star-deficient macabre 'family' adaptation of macabre details of macabre novel with nightmarish puppet moving freely amongst grotesque human actors and scratchily-rendered 'sets'.

There's definitely a couple of excerpts from the 'sped up' arrangement in the middle of the full-length version. No sign of what can only be described as the 'Wild West' interlude though.

There's a chance there's a contract in the production file. Other than that it's difficult to say, but if it leads anywhere he mainly worked for Chappell.

The publication date (which works differently to copyright) - which ties in with the release of BBC Comedy Themes - and the fact it's registered as Copyright Control would seem to support this.
