French Fancies, Irn Bru and the odd video


French Fancies, Irn Bru and the odd video

With our journey through 'Are You Being Served?' reaching the 1978 Christmas Special, we bid farewell to Mr Tebbs, so we thought we ought to mark this moment by getting our Mr Kipling's cakes (also favoured by Arthur Lowe) out.


And you've got to wash them down with something, so a shot of Irn Bru seemed to offer a dash of colour to contrast with the yellow and pink French Fancies. Although some people might argue that it's too orangey for videos...


We also plucked up our courage and finaly did something on that wonderful series 'The Mind Of Mr J G Reeder', which we've only shied away from because we were afraid of not doing it justice. Even Rose Cat is fascinated by it - if only the colour version of the title sequence.


The episode we picked was 'The Poetical Policeman' as Hugh Burden (not Hugh Channing and certainly not Hugh Janus!) not only stars, but adapted it for the telly too!


And finally, we arrived at Episode 4 of 'Doctor Who : Spearhead From Space' where we still ask the questions that nobody else has dared tackle, including such thorny subjects as the explosive contents of Jon Pertwee's half-inched trousers...


Our video on 'Are You Being Served - Happy Returns' can be seen here.
