Interesting trivia - that young girl on the test card is still alive and well - and still has the clown doll. She was the daughter of one of the Television producers and got a bit of fame out of it.
Me too. The girl and doll creeped me out when I was younger. I can see why now. The picture looks like a frame from a horror movie.
I've just received an email from the club saying the Palace match is postponed. Something to do with Covid, apparently.
Damn. And just minutes after you'd already booked a 5 star central London hotel for the night, brimmed your fuel tank in anticipation of the drive to the airport and booked those non-refundable plane tickets. I hope Gino covers your costs.
Different strokes, I always found that picture cute, like a scene from Play School. A bit of a revelation when I first saw it when previously it appeared way past my bedtime.
I had this vague thought it was 'Wheels Cha Cha Cha'. (Once heard, never forgotten and always loathed). But it seems the music was picked for all being utterly unmemorable. High production values, but cr*p.
The photo was taken 1967 and I imagine the music was composed around the same era. A lot of music from the 1950s through the 1970s was like that, whether from crime dramas like Perry Mason, Ironside and Quincy, James Bond movies, the more popular instrumental stuff (like from Motown) - richly orchestrated, with prominent brass and a strong jazz flavour. I'm not a fan of it either - cleverly put together, but a bit OTT, cliched and cheesy.
I suspect they might if it was one or two games stretched out but we had 3 very quickly in a row. Norwich at at West Ham and Everton play Leicester on the 11th so not sure why we aren't playing then?
One my exes was a member of a really weird sub-culture that collected and collated 'that' music. Quite a few 'big' name DJ's and record producers were regular attendees at the nights when the actual bands played their 'hits'.
