All three of them cause headaches for the hospital staff, led by Richard Wilson with Derrick Branche. This week, a nymphomaniac female patient falls for Dr Thorpe’s bedside matter, and caught in a compromising position, he turns to the men’s ward occupants for help, but will they come to the aid of a friend in need? First broadcast on Thu 11th Nov 1982 by ITV. With Wanda Ventham as the new patient.

so then. its back…

  • Rollerjam is the successor to rollergames. bearing in mind that the model of rollergames was Roller Derby in the style of Pro-Wrestling, this later reboot is reflective of the change in Pro-Wrestling around the time, we’re out of the wild and wacky 80s and into the mid 90s. basically its a bit more grungy.
  • following chucking the question out yesterday, we’re taking a break from the MJB stuff temporarily. the remaining ones are one series long each, so i’ve inserted Limetown. the series is 10 x approx half hour episodes, which leads me to the the next bullet point…
  • prisoner is going to start a little earlier this week. this is due to the action/reality zone being one long rollerjam and limetown being shorter than the MJB drama serials. the rest of rollerjam from what i can see is split into 45 minute matches. so something new will be added next week
  • next week is the last mr hell show, after that there’ll be something vaguely in the vein of comedy in there to replace it.
  • schedule amended – i forgot to add in the second to last “alright now” when i put up the image

    Aloha folks, it just occurred to me that now that i’ve finished Lotus Eaters on thursdays, i’m at a crossroads. there are two more series by the same director lined up and ready to go – however there are also two series of Limetown (which i’ve just managed to locate after a drunken acquisition night) should we alternate, or head through the Michael J Bird stuff in full before moving on to Limetown? let me know in the comments below – cheers

    OTH Premature Zeppelin


    in an occasional twist of fate, im busy on the 4th when i’d usually be broadcasting – so the zeppelin’s coming early (fnarr fnarr). a couple of tidbits of information.

  • Rollergames and the Lotus eaters both end tonight
  • after the last Rollergames, there’s a runthrough of some programme that’s in development. i shouldn’t really be showing it, but it can be considered a warning from the future. it’s going to be a hate-watch for me after i sat through it in a focus group. if you happen to be part of the organisation i did this for, this is a sign to better encrypt the videos you ask for feedback on. and just because taskmaster is a success doesn’t mean you can shoehorn this bunch of fuckers into a pale imitation of the format and get away with it.
  • after the schedule the bonus gig is from the lockdown era. it was filmed on the bar’s CCTV with one microphone in the middle of a sparse gig room. the PA sound was fed directly into the social distance observing bar next door. i hope to be doing a proper recording of the band at somepoint in the future,…
