Gwen Taylor was in this series, too. She worked with the Pythons (all or some) quite often, it seems. I will try to remember her face as I always get her i.d. wrong. I have problems recognising actors etc when they grow a beard, wear a wig etc. Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

I have problems recognising actors etc when they grow a beard, wear a wig etc. It's certainly confusing when the girls grow beards. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

It's her out of Duty Free. If you've said it's her out of Duty Free, I would have known who she is. Next time, say it's her out of Duty Free.
Vote Og.

Rutland Weekend Television, Season 1 Episode 4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVaIb...VaIb6ZuaAw). Sorry it's late in the day but I'd like to withdraw this suggestion. Thinking about it, there's some 'brown face' stuff, and a satirical sketch on beauty pageants which, nevertheless, comes across a bit Benny Hill, that we should probably sidestep. Is it possible to go for a Python episode instead? Personally, I'd vote for the one with their finest sketch, 'The Society For Putting Things On Top Of Other Things' (Series 2 Episode 5). Spanish Inquisition is Series 2 Ep 2. Or just bale out after RotR? Whatever you think. |

I don't mind what we watch: maybe we argue it out tonight - have the link to your rewatch of choice ready to share with the other girls and boys. Note: I am NOT doing a 'poll' about it. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I'm only looking after it for him because he was busy doing Speedway things (a couple of years ago). "You're not sulking, I hope?"

ABDICATION EP1 M'Boss, having had responsibility thrust into her hands by a fleeing rebel leader, reaches breaking point. Her minions, in a state of panic, don't know where to turn. It is at this point that El T returns but for how long? And will El Chronico B finally find his way to power? Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

I don't mind watching RWT, even if the episode is a little politically incorrect. It's interesting sometimes to see how attitudes having changed, even over the course of our short lifetimes. When we watch that or watch an episode of Monty Python. Just need the link (not Deep Roy). Vote Og.

Thanks for your input, gang. I've consulted my life coach and they're of the opinion that we should stick with RWT. We can always pull the ripcord if ness, e.g. if any of the content causes AA to drop her Sicilian pasta with almonds. Btw I think El Chronico B once represented Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest.

Tonight's B7 connection is that the stuntman for RotR was Stuart Fell.

Small housekeeping matter - the RWT ep on YouTube has about 30 seconds of nuffink before the prog starts. I think M Kid's a small housekeeper so I'll leave that with her |

Raj-ing itself is a bit of a no-no these days, so are we doing the whole thing 'under cover of darkness', or just the second one?

Often wonder how Cussons get away with selling Imperial Leather. Maybe Postcolonial Leather doesn’t sound lush enough. (Presumably OSP uses Simple Soap.) |
