Last ever Pebble Mill at One (1986) part 1 Posted by: doubledeckers
Video duration: 462 seconds The programme starts and FiveStar perform in the distinctly unglamorous surroundings of the Pebble Mill building (including the scene dock, canteen, on the roof, switchboard area and an untidy office). But it's nicely done and an interesting peek behind the scenes. Now completely demolished. TV Centre next for the chop! Though unlikely to get obliterated like Pebble Mill.

Calling All Boys Posted by: doubledeckers
Video duration: 266 seconds Manchester had some great gay parties in the 1990's. No, not the kind you're thinking. All innocent fun and much better than the gay bar and club scene as it is now :-) It was traditional for any extroverts present to do a 'party piece' and this usually involved dressing up as a woman.

On the Beat Posted by: doubledeckers
Video duration: 158 seconds Norman Wisdom plays two roles: an Italian gangster hairdresser who camps things up in the salon and Norman Pitkin, car washer at the local police station who has to impersonate the villain. But first he needs some tuition... A mincing policeman is still pretty funny 45 years later. One of my favourite films as a kid. It always seemed to be on BBC1 on a Saturday morning.

Fire in the newsroom 1987 Posted by: doubledeckers
Video duration: 86 seconds A nervous-sounding BBC announcer explains that there has been no news tonight due to a fire at TV Centre. But finally there is news - with Jan Leeming and David Icke (oh heck maybe the fire was caused by shape-changing reptiles?). Related: 1987, announcer, bbc, breakdowns, continuity, fire, news |
