I finish off my tribute to Rob Grant this week with the final 2 episodes from RED DWARF V with " Demons and Angels" & "Back to Reality". The latter created the hilarious character Dwayne Dibbley who became almost immediately unfunny in every other appearance since. #RobGrantRIP #RedDwarf #BBC
Tonight I continue with my tribute to the shocking passing of Rob Grant with "Terrorform" & "Quarantine". I am watching these from the first Blu-ray set of the BBC series that came out. My previous viewing of RED DWARF back in 2018 was from the DVD set. #RobGrantRIP #RedDwarf #BBC
Very saddened to hear about the shocking death of Rob Grant. I decided to pause on PORRIDGE for a bit and watch some RED DWARF as a tribute. . Tonight I start with "Holoship" and "The Inquisitor". Radio Times listings below. #RobGrantRIP #RedDwarf #BBC
Tonight I finish up S1 of PORRIDGE. Tonight " Ways and Means" & "Men Without Women" with appearances of Sam Kelly and Patricia Brake. Really enjying this series! Radio Times listings below. #Porridge #Fletcher #RonnieBarker #RichardBeckinsale #BBC #RadioTimes

This recently arrived for the soundtrack to the HTV series SKY. I didn't know that it had been released but when I found out I bought it. I then forgot I ordered it but when it arrived I was thrilled. More soundtrack releases like this please! #Sky #HTV #Soundtrack #CD #PhysicalMedia
As I continue to watch THE ADVENTURES OF RUPERT BEAR, I'd like to share the time he was chased down the road by a Dalek. #RupertBear #ATV #ITC #JudyBennett #ITV
Radio Times Wednesday: this is probably available on the Doctor Who DVDs & Blu-ray sets but new to me. This is from Oct 7 1972 issue. Between S9 & S10, I think this is really cool. #RadioTimes #DoctorWho #Nestle #JonPertwee
I plan on watching about 6 episodes a night. No doubt you are right about that!
Tonight I start on THE ADVENTURES OF RUPERT BEAR that started in 1970 and ran until 1977 with around 156 episodes. I will be watching the the Network complete series set BUT it is actually missing one episode on it but apparently it is on Networks original release of the series on Vol. 3 Disc 4.

Tonight, I will watch the final 3 episodes of PARDON THE EXPRESSION with "The Switched-On Scene", "The Cup That Cheers". and "Down on the Health Farm Something Stirred". Tomorrow, I start THE ADVENTURES OF RUPERT BEAR. #ITV #Granada #PardontheExpression #ArthurLowe
This letter appeared in TV Times the week that the PARDON THE EXPRESSION episode "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Frying" about Betty Driver who played Mrs Edgeley on the series. She had an incredible operatic voice. #PardontheExpression #BettyDriver #Granada #ITV #TVTimes
Radio Times Wednesday: from the week of 19 July 1975 here is a note of Peter Purves being on the radio program DOWNTOWN on BBC Radio London. #BBCRadio #RadioTimes #PeterPurves #BluePeter #DoctorWho
Tonight we start the wind down of PARDON THE EXPRESSION. Tonight's episodes are "The Ghost of Batsworth Castle Walks Again" & "The Sailor Home from the Sea" and I am happy to see that there has been, in my opinion, a marked improvement. #PardontheExpression #ArthurLowe #Granada #ITV #TVTimes
Our VT Clock this week is to help us get ready for Season 21 od Doctor Who coming out on Blu-ray in March. Here is the VT Clock for the 71 Edit of "The Awakening" Part One. #VTClocks4ever #DoctorWho #BBC #TheCollection #Bluray
Tonight, more PARDON THE EXPRESSION with "A Sheikh in the Night" & "Rustle of Spring" with the latter giving us the second pre-DAD'S ARMY pairing of the week with John Laurie in the cast tonight. The first was with John Le Mesurier. #PardonTheExpression #DadsArmy #AreYouBeingServed #BBC #TVTimes
Radio Times Wednesday: ADVENTURE STORY from June of 1961. Some VERY familiar faces. I just finished a #JamesBond marathon so it's always cool to see Sean Connery before breaking into total stardom! Plus a young Margaretta Scott (minus Tricki-Woo) and William Russell. #RadioTimes #SeanConnery #BBC
This week, I return to the viewing of my regular series PARDON THE EXPRESSION. I left off with Series 2 " The Goalbirds" & "The Host with the Most". Those who have seen this series before, what do you think? I find it very middling. Your thoughts? #PardontheExpression #ArthurLowe #ITV #Granada
Not a VT Clock but on January 3rd 1970 we saw the first episode of DOCTOR WHO Spearhead from Space introducing Jon Pertwee as Dr Who. Shot on film there is no VT Clock for the story here is what Lionheart got for its master which is a standard film leader. #VTClocks4ever #DoctorWho #BBC #JonPertwee
