Girl I was going out with when at school was on that. Even got a mention in The Times the following day because she was so bright.

You've always had a penchant for intelligent women then FELL. Jenny Agutter, that girl at school. I bet your schoolboy fantasy was Dr Miriam Stoppard!

At school the dim ones seemed to be the most attractive because even on school trips to Dovedale or some other rural trek, they'd always turn up wearing their Friday night disco gear; hot pants or short skirts, platform shoes, halter neck top and no bra, and no coat or anorak!

The intelligent ones tended not to look as glamourous, they were usually kitted out with more sensible outdoor clobber than an Antarctic expedition, and they didn't bother with hair-dos or make-up either! Consequently at the back of the coach on the way home we'd all try and sit next to a dimshit girl because they were more inclined to accommodate one's inquisitive adolescent needs, and most of them had plenty of fags and a quarter bottle of Bacardi too!

Funny you should say that [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif[/img] Saw her and her family whilst walking around Derwentwater with Mrs Fell - must have been in the late 70s. Doesn't she have a famous niece or god daughter? MS not Mrs Fell!

Singel sex grammar school I'm afraid Sam - but we did have a girls' grammar school next door so they were the ones we were more likely to "interact" with.

Eh? So far as I know, he ain't dead yet! [/b]
Ooops, thought he was a gonna. There was a prog. on some time this year about ask the family. I'm sure he didn't take part in it. Be interested to know why. I just assumed he was brown bread, but a quick search indicates he's alive and well.

I used to like Film Buff of The Year hosted by Robin Ray (I think) & Quizball.

As for Ann Aston [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wub.gif[/img] I used to work with a girl called Ann Aston in the mid 70's but it wasn't THAT one.

As Ant and Dec are paying tribute to The Golden Shot this evening,it got me thinking about one of its original presenters,Jackie Rae. I knew he was from Canada,but whatever happened to him andwhat did he look like?

I have just been on the IMDB site and I found that Annie Aston [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wub.gif[/img] was actually born in Glasgow. I am surprised how much that site actually covers - I thought it was dedicated to film.

No, it's covered TV movies from the outset. That soon got expanded to cover TV series as well and now it even includes video games because some of those have voices and even motion capture based on actors

The radio has some good 'uns too, and years ago I remember DLT (Dave Lee Travis) on Radio 1 used to do a 'phone-in snooker quiz on a Saturday and a darts quiz on the Sunday, or vice versa. It sounds naff but it was quite good.

One day a contestant replied to the question "What instrument does the conductor of an orchestra usually play?" with the answer "A baton!" and DLT just burst out laughing uncontrolably so much that he couldn't continue the show for about ten minutes, and I think his producer came in the studio and he was laughing as well. I was driving at the time and I had to pull over to the side of the road. The tears were flooding out and my stomach was aching, and I had to get out of the car and collapse on to the grass. It was one of those rare moments that you remember forever! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/clapping.gif[/img]
[/b]
just to point out the Question was "What instrument does the lead member of a symphony orchestra play?"

It can be found here: http://www.radiorewind.co.uk/dave_lee_travis_page.htm

Phew! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img] well I'm glad we cleared that up! You've had me wondering for weeks why baton wasn't the correct answer! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rotfl.gif[/img]
