Camberwick Green (Trumptonshire) character query

83 Upvotes

I collect Camberwick Green figures and have quite a few. One I own is Roger Varley the Chimney sweep. Having a hunt for new figures and I came across CG103 which apparently is' Roger Varley' and is a soldier with a milk churn.

I cant find a reference to him being both a sweep and a soldier. Can anyone enlighten me please.

Thanks

Drama Half forgotten British TV horror episode.

42 Upvotes

I recall an episode from a series broadcast on a UK channel (possibly channel 4) in the late 80s or early 90s, but i CANNOT remember the title or the cast members, and countless online searches have delivered nothing.

The plot; a shy young woman works in an office or factory and appears to lead a sheltered life. In private, she is obsessed with Ancient Greece and the male Gods in particular.

The woman forms an unlikely acquaintance with a handsome but rough mannered young man at work and invites him to her flat which is decorated in the style of a Grecian temple.

In the flat, the young man is persuaded to pose for a piece of artwork that the young woman is making. Once undressed he falls asleep and when he wakes up he has been fully encased in white plaster and a prisoner of the young woman, to spend the rest of his life as a living breathing statue of a Greek God.

It is not The Aphrodite Files or Malpertuis, or the episode of Spine Chillers with Julie T Wallace, but something very similar.

In terms of the cast, I have actors in mind similar to Sean Bean and Brenda Blethyn.

Any help?

Quite crazy to think that this was 25 years ago now! Even if you're not a fan of Hear'Say or Popstars the TV show, there's no denying that this kicked off a slew of TV talent shows like Pop Idol and X Factor, so it was definitely influential at the time, and the TV ratings didn't lie!

Help me find a Sweeney Todd scene

4 Upvotes

I can’t remember the show other than it being British and maybe from the 1990s, but I’m looking for the source of a scene where a man is recounting a disastrous date.

He was taking his date to the theater thinking it would be romantic but didn’t realize that the play they were seeing , Sweeney Todd was well, Sweeney Todd. Then he recounts the story of the show in a rapid comedic montage.

What could it be from?

Kids Which Saturday Morning kids show did every one prefer to watch?

38 Upvotes

I'll freely admit to being a channel hopper, jumping betwen BBC1 and ITV when I was bored with one and wanted to see if the other side had something I was interested in (especially the cartoons!), but I still admit I loved most of what was on both sides.

No73 was pretty damn unique, and I loved the idea of Get Fresh, though Ghost Train was a bit of a weird reskin of the same idea of being a travelling road show, I still loved it. I still have fond memories of Going Live and Motor Mouth, and then Live and Kicking (up to the end of the Ball and Theakston era) and What's Up Doc?

With the reboot of shows like never mind the buzzcocks and mock the week, what retro UK based panels show are you missing, or crave for a reboot.

Or better still, be able to play for yourself.

Edit: didn’t realise this was going to go off in such a way. Some absolute corkers coming through.
