Fizzymouse- no place like home



There was nothing worth watching on the television earlier this evening so I was flicking through and found a Tommy Cooper Christmas Special on Channel 5.smiley - applause

I always loved Tommy Cooper and thought - I'll watch this, it'll remind me how good he was and how great Christmas was when I was growing up.smiley - senior

Anyway, to cut a long story short it was pretty abysmal. It was funny in small parts but for the greatest part it was ..... average. To make it worse the music acts to make Christmas complete were ....... are you ready? ......... can you take the suspense? ..........







Clodagh Rodgers and Sacha Distel.smiley - headhurts






I remember the 1970s as being way more fun than that - I think I'll avoid any further trips down memory lane and stick to the clip shows where at least they show the 'best' of memories.

smiley - laughBel, I too loved Flipper and Skippy and Champion the Wonder Horse. They're all pretty dated now. Perhaps that means we're pretty dated now too?smiley - senior
