It's rather incredible to hear Brown standing up for privacy and 'basic liberties' when NuLab encouraged, legislated for, and presided over very serious infringements into these areas of life. What about the Identity Card Act 2006, and RIPA?

The greatest opening to any rock song ever, by one of the best bands. Ever.

There is just nothing to compare with these guys at their best.

A tragic figure but, my god, what a legacy.

It's funny how series like this become so much more attractive when you're 40!

This stuff is far more biting than you would find anywhere else these days!

Things were so much more radical and truly subversive in the 70s!

Ernest Borgnine will never die. Literally, it seems.

I've been a professional musician all my life, but I still have no clue how you get to this.

This is what you call Music. Real Music.

Those were the days. OGWT and great music. Not to be repeated in today's artificial X-Factor world.

'... across the land, across the night, you could hear the Captain's cry.'

RIP Captain.

Just heard that the Captain has died. A great loss. He was a unique character and one of the greatest contributors to music we've ever had. A great musician, a truly creative genius. No one to touch him. No one to replace him. This is the end of a golden period.

RIP Captain. You will not be for...

I live around the corner from there, but I had no idea JT was still around! Is she going on tour again? Let's hope so.

I had the biggest crush on Judie you can imagine, back in the early 80s when I was a wee nipper. Bought all her albums and used to drum along with them. What happened to her?

Nice touch.

'New on Reprise: it's "Lick My Decals Off Baby."'

I think this is his best ever number. The creativity is incredible.

Jesus christ this is awful. It's about as far away from having any character or feeling as you could possibly get. If you want the real thing, and not this offensive sham, listen to the great Lotte Lenya or Bertold Brecht versions.

This is crap. It's that simple. It's crap.

As usual, Mike Leigh paints a curiously patronising view of the English, as if we' re all rather childlike, sentimental, impressionable and stupid.

Love the jazz break in the middle.

All of my favourite films seem to be by Cassavetes.

The Wenlock might be closing down soon. A great loss to London if that happens. Get down there and give it your support, before it's too late! Drink lots of Real Ale!

One of the greatest rock songs of all time.

The greatest performance artist of all time.

Jeremy Brett brought a new dimension to the role of Holmes which was really very good, and no doubt coloured by his own severe bouts of depression. He was an excellent actor and is underrated in my view.

Lovely compilation - thanks for posting. The ballroom was amazing back then. And you can see the coastal steamer that used to ferry people to Hastings from other places. I spent a lot of my childhood mucking about on the pier during the 80s when it was run down - the bingo and the amusements. Sh...

That is a real shame. We used to play bingo on the pier back in the 80s when there were lots of local characters around. There was a hlf-decent bar on the pier as well; it was just a great place to mooch around. I'm going to miss it. Let's build another one!
