Summary: .While sifting through the rubbish we are subjected to on television I actually found a program I enjoyed....it was the story of Jimmy Perry and David Croft who created Dad's Army.......it was a brilliant insight into problems of trying to convince TV boffins of the credibility of good comedy.....................and another interesting documentary was the story of Fawlty Towers...another classic...it was interesting to see how John Cleese stopped after the second series as he felt it had run its course... I thought after his appearance on Strictly Come Dancing Ed Balls would vanish off the scene....how wrong I was....he features in a new documentary called Travels in Trumpland with Ed Balls....where he travels around the southern states of the U.S.A. meeting Donald Trump supporters.... Rick Astley ....is going back on tour to promote his latest album......I built a recording studio in my attic back in the day as I failed to see what difference Abbey Road would make to my records.... It is nice to see my pals The Krankies on the Marigold Hotel programme...........also Donald Campbell's Bluebird has been restored and put back on the water....I actually have a connection to this....back in 1958 I saw a skiffle group called The Atlantics on our local cinema which was the first time I heard an electric guitar on stage....the leader of the group was called John Lomax and he went on to make a cine film of Cambell's last tragic attempt at the world water speed record in the Lake District....as a small tribute I wrote a song for him called "The Story of Skiffle" which we recorded and got quite a bit of airplay.
