I am sure that Budgie was a Fulham fan, loved his little leather jacket and Charlie Endell was a great character albeit a bit of a physcho

Great stuff!

What a shame the very underated and hillarious follow-up Charles Endell Esq. isn't better known or on DVD.

For the theme song alone, if nothing else - sung by Iain over images of him getting dolled up including corset! "I am def-in-ight-ly back!!!"

Channel 5, 11ish, "A Better Way To Die"

A film that is right up there with John Carpenter's 1976, 'Assault on Precinct 13'.

A modern fable. It's been on freeview channels several times, which is where I saw it first.

Of course if the 1976 'Assault on Precinct 13' is your idea of movie hell, then you'll know to give Channel 5 a wide berth tonight......

I'm very surprised that no-one's said they're going to be watching Casualty 1907 tonight

All I'm hoping is that it's not a pilot for a new 'continuing drama'?!

Was it all that much different from a modern edition of Casualty?
I dipped into it a few times and it seems to be much more like a soap opera than a serious drama. It was just set a hundred years ago

Steve - I had a look at it but I ended up coming on here while it was on in the background.

It was good to see Cheri Lunghi back on the box playing the sort of matron we could do with these days.

Mrs Bat wasn't impressed with Casualty 1907 .... she thought it very 'soapy' too.

I am waiting excitedly for Holby Blue 1888 - Jack the Ripper Legs It To Bristol.

I watched it... It's on again next week, so you might be getting your wish.....

I find the historical ones okay, whereas I cannot stomach the real ones (whatever the different channels call them... Emergency Ward 10?). Having said that, I expect they will plumb it to it's absolute depths and make it as detestable as all the others eventually.

The Ultra-violet ward was quite interesting. Have to research that one.

Yep, there's three episodes

Just think of what this could be the start of:

Eastenders 1896. The story of nouveau-riche East End folk settling into their new-build suburban villas. Complete with pub named after our beloved monarch, a bagwash laundry, horse-and-cart lot and an eels 'n' pie caff. Characters come and go but finally leave the square in a Hansom cab.

Coronation Street 1903. No change

Coronation Street, now theres a pile of crap. Ken cannot act yet earns about £2500 per week, Deidre has beaten cancer yet still smokes likes a train(great neck veins though). Their daughter is in jail for murder (yet it is never mentioned). The resident prostitute has torched her own eating house(or her dopy partner has), the police are out in force because Gail has fallen down the stairs.(not that I watch it)
absolute Crap and do not get me started on Eastenders
