I'm pretty sure this was also shown about 1984/5 in the UK as well. I remember seeing it about 10.30am when I was off school during the summer holidays.

Give the cuckoo in the clock from the last ad, an advert to itself.

I've never heard of this although I would have been 7 at the time. It's good. Any chance of uploading more of the series? Did it only have the one series?

Was this for an advert for the Canadian Tourist Board? If not, it should be.

Some names would be useful as I don't know all of them. :)

@GloucesterAdam No. He's there at about 20 secs in. It's PC Dave Quinnan. Played by Andrew Paul. Had to Google it. :)

The Sav doing 'corporate'. Uhh uhhh urrrghhhhh (Savile yodel)

Great song! Very androgenous look: slacks...check, blouse...check, necklace and earring...check, neck scarf...check, boufant hair..check. Did he moonlight as an air hostess? :D

I didn't know that snooker player John Virgo sang in The Hollies! :D

Did Pink Floyd sue the BBC for plagarism?

Leamington, Ontario, Canada, not the classy town of Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, England...thankfully!

@wieslawl59 Not all of us are ABBA fans who were around at the time and have all the records, sleevenotes, wigs, etc.

@foomanchoofireguy You can come over to the UK and save me from a burning building any time! Like your sense of humour! :D

Eric's dressed like John Simm 's character (Sam Tyler) in 'Life on Mars'. He's 11 years ahead of his time. Ha ha.

Don't see enough Dick on TV today...

I only really remember them on Thames, so I guess this must be late 70s? Wasn't the ending with Eric walking off behind the stahge wearing a flat cap and mac (and suitcase?) thinking that the show had finished? The joke was Ernie wanted him off the stage so he could do a solo song and dance. I d...

Why is a milkman driving the train? LOL. It is weird to see both bridges in place at 3.38 just before arriving at Leamington. I think the bridge for LNER line which went from Leamington to Rugby was taken down in 1968. That part of Leamington is still known as 'under the bridges' though.

I saw an programme (think it was about Hill's money)where the producer Dennis Kirkland (he's in this scene) was interviewed. Kirkland came across as a right nasty piece of work: tetchy, hasty, irritable and yet he thought of himself as one of Benny's closest associates. No wonder Benny kept himse...

@coppersmiths For some reason I thought it was Bernard Cribbins doing an American accent! I notice the ad is now voiced by another actor.

Scary! :O

I had some wax figures of the Wombles in the 1970s: Tomsk, Orinocco, Wellington, Bungo, Tobermory, Madame Cholet and Great Uncle Bulgaria. Think I broke them or melted them. Anyway, I'm still a tightwad and recycle everything. I am most grateful to Bernard Cribbins, Elizabeth Beresford, Mike Bat...

@RobinCarmody to quote Pink Floyd, "Whatever happened to the post-war dream?" I think Cov station is Grade 2 listed. I spent many times waiting over an hour just to get 8 miles down the rails to Leamington. :D

@TheRobobum Maybe it's for 'Gorgeous Graeme Garden' LOL. I don't think so though!

This would have been 1984 if Noel Edmonds was driving a brand new B reg car. Cool suit Noel.

At 5.35 it's the Scottish swinger from "Benidorm!! :-)

Disgusting!

Absolute classic! I've been giggling all the way through watching this! "Go for it Stephanie!" :-) Thanks for the laughs, Leslie!

It was quite an occasion!

I like the 1980s globe (very clean and shiny) and the current BBC ident.

Truly the stuff of nightmares!

@ZZAAN84 Anton Rogers died a couple of years ago aged 74, I think, and Eve Matheson is 50 now. Unfortunately THAT is the reality of dating someone 27 years your senior! When I was 22 I dated a man who was 44 but it didn't last long. He's also dead now so it makes you realise that you have to gra...

I first saw this when I was about 6. Graeme Garden still looks old to me and I'm 40 now.

You've just got to love those glasses!! Anton Rodgers must have had good eyesight to see through those! Never watched this in the 80s and it looks like Thames' version of 'Terry and June'.

Why is Zoe dressed as Jane Eyre? Is she on the way to amateur dramatics? Maybe she has already arrived!

I agree. The other Zoe is very dull compared with this one who is quite sparky and unusual. You can see why he fell for her. Zoe mark 2 is very provincial and conventional with no spark between them at all in my opinion.

I like the first two series with Eve Matheson as Zoe. There's real warmth, sparkiness and humour between Alec and Zoe. Unfortunately, I feel it seems to be lacking from the later series when Zoe was played by Lesley Dunlop. Not sure why, the character just isn't as believeable and the lead charac...
