Greetings everyone,

Willy Russell's "One Summer" with Ian Hart and David Morrissey is now out on Dick Van Dyke. It is a double disc set with extras. Info can also be found at www.willyrussell.com which for those who remembered and loved the Liverpool Scene Andy roberts, Neil innes etc has some great links.

Good to be back, need a holiday just to read what I've missed

Welcome back, Freddy.

This is wonderful news, thank you. I loved this series. Its screening here in the early 80s coincided with acquiring my first VCR and one of the episodes of One Summer was the first thing I ever recorded. I still have it. The 80s was rich with British drama like this.

David Morrissey was a fine young actor then, and hasn't he come along so well since? (the recent Blackpool was excellent)

And, of course, it will be with a mixture of sadness and joy to see a young James Hazeldine in a fine performance.

Placing order with Amazon now...

Pleasure Darling,

I know its popular with a lot of people, there was a separate web site about it, and am glad Willy Russell managed to sort out his differences.
Looking at Willy Rusell's web site reminded me that not only is he a talented bloke but that he also wrote the theme tune to the 1985 series CONNIE with Stephanie Beacham and Pam Ferris. Written by Ron Hutchinson, this was a great favourite of mine, wonderfully OTT, highly enjoyable. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/clapping.gif[/img]
Used to be on the same night as The Kellog City Centre Cycling series, fond memories

I hope Len Deighton follows suit and finally allows Game, Set and Match to be released commercially though there's probably not much chance of that happening. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif[/img]

Yes, I'd like to see this series again, too. I'm a big fan of Ian Holm and he was very good in this IMO. His autobiography, Acting My Life, made very interesting reading and I highly recommend it.

One Summer is at this moment winging its way to Oz. Can't wait.
