July 1973 newspaper ad for "The Banana Box", written by Eric Chappell, at London's Apollo Theatre. Leonard Rossiter played avaricious bedsit landlord Rooksby, to much acclaim. The Yorkshire Television comedy department took note and commissioned a sitcom pilot. #RisingDamp

I couldn't pick this broadcast up in N Ireland!📻 It certainly annoyed me at the time, but to this day I still haven't listened to "Slipback". 😂

How did I miss that Warren Beatty reprised Dick Tracy in 2023, apparently to hold on to the film rights (he does this every 10 years I believe). Selfish much? Where's the new film? 🤷‍♂️ Dick Tracy Special: Tracy Zooms In youtu.be/S0jU1WSf89k?si…

The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin by David Nobbs (Pilot--1976, dir. John Howard Davies) Opening titles: Texas Switch here--camera moves down to disguise Leonard Rossiter being replaced by stunt performer. Apologies for "episode 1" being superimposed on there at some point. 😒

Remember buying this movie on DVD because I fancied Corinne Clery. That was the ONLY reason. The pic was okay. I watched it once.

This is HORRENDOUS. Why the increase in child homicide? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Dene71's tweet card. Daniel Gunter inflicted “catastrophic injuries” to Brendon Staddon while he was in neonatal care.

Here's a #FawltyTowers query we don't, to my knowledge, know the answer to: What did Douglas Argent do? He was producer but not director of Series 2. What was his contribution to the six episodes? No one has ever said(?) Did he monitor the progress of the scripts, for example? 🤷‍♂️

"One actor, says #JohnCleese, suddenly changed his performance at the filming stage. "I was tired and started fluffing...and, oh, the whole show was less good than it should have been." " Which episode of #FawltyTowers was this? Which guest actor? 🤔 Sunday Sun 13 May 1979.
