Back in Scotland, long way round.

Will discuss anything with anyone so long we all play nicely.

I cannot abide Keeping Up Appearances either..

So I’m out.

At various points there’s been four different Panoramas mooted for tonight - shall we agree it’s most likely a hybrid between what’s in Hannah’s paper - and a film report from Fred Emery?

Considering 1990 could be considered recent history .. 😆

It’s annoyingly one of the tv years we know least about!

No less than 3 potential BBC1 Panorama - a 4th if party candidates supposed to appear..

(They did - on Thames)

I’m going with IMDb.. for once

The 1963 series is the second incarnation with the introduction of Sausage the Dachshund voiced by Roy Skelton (Rainbow / the Dr Who)

Vera McKechnie turns the pages and shows you how to make a bean bag.

You need dried butter beans, pieces of material “and sewing things”

I think it’s highly amusing Mrs Measures’ address shares name with a particularly groping hand

@angrydigit.bsky.social will be along in a bit to point out Eldred also had (a rather ridiculous) male form..

Thank you - just any one clipping!

Frustratingly, must of been one of the gentlemen my grandfather knew well

All the connections match and I remember the soho store well, albeit then owned by PYE as Soho Record Group

Of course as a child, ignorant to all this 😫

Look at the business address!

The story of Alex Strickland record shops is great 😊

Soho, the Sixties, Sinatra ..

If you can find just one clipping that confirms the sale - and date - that would be fab

Thank you so much

The Emerald Soup serial concluded 21st December - the day the opening episode of the first Dalek story aired.

The jump in viewers for the 28th December Dr Who may owe in some small part to this as much as the “what is it?” sink plunger cliffhanger on the Dr Who for 21st December
