What's the first film you were taken to see as a kid? Believe it or not, mine was Paint Your Wagon (1969) with Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood when I was 3 years old. Umm I don't think my parents really chose that one for me somehow! I blame my father wholeheardedly for any subsequent Clint Eastwood fixation. |

What was the last truly scary horror film you saw? I grew up on Hammer House of Horror & Stephen King books which explains a lot but I just don't think films are scary these days? |

What is the best night out watching the big match ever? I had a fab time the night of the England-Germany semi final of Euro 96, sadly we lost after a string of nail biting penalties but the drunkenness in Nottingham market square afterwards (including a whole array of boys showing me their st george cross boxers in the street!) made up for it :D |

I have seen reruns of this on cable a few times recently but yesterday I watched an episode from the beginning and realised that this show had a really cool intro sequence. Watching it now just takes me right back to tea-time.
Really futuristic stuff with flying saucers, cool synthesizer music with little bits of Beethoven and epic closing cadences, this intro was probably better than the show itself!
Bob Holness was of course the star of the show but looking back I think he was just incredibly good at filling. There were plenty of gaps to fill as well, left by the gawky, nerdy, personality devoid student types that made up the contestants of the show.
The episode I saw yesterday featured bob saying, 'Without further ado' twice in one link!
Good job Bob!
