Photo-a-Day  (Monday, 3rd January, 2022)

Looks like any brick wall in any garden? Has some one used the bike to climb over the wall? I have a nicer Coteniaster in my front garden

i have seen the old man riding around
on this bike he just looks like Mr Pastry.

That would make a most excellent wall for shooting the legions of annoying TV presenters who have made this Christmas hell . Worst in living memory . Vacuous baking shows . Idiots buying houses . Lunatics selling houses . Celebrity this and that . I've never heard of any of them . Those antiques people in dicky bows ! If you met them in a pub your would think them mad .
Why haven't they put 'Zulu' on . " Front rank . Fire !
"Rear rank. Fire! Independent fire at will !".

I've just watched 'The Wooden Horse' and 'Odette'. Poet. You are on the wrong channels. True heroes all.

' The Train is next - ! I know you've probably seen it - but another to watch again.

The wall is that interesting that people prefer to comment about what to watch on the telly or a pop song

I never thought the seasonal TV schedules could deteriorate further than previous years offerings, but this must have been the worst year ever for what the TV channels tried to pass off as entertainment over the holiday period. Old films without any special merit that have already been shown repeatedly along with repeats of so called sitcoms which were mildly amusing 30 or 40 years ago, Don't know why the newspapers bother to issue supplements of holiday viewing when one page with the word GARBAGE on would suffice.

The Train was well worth watching along with Burt using his circus expertise, Operation Crossbow now on is excellent viewing also. This coming Saturday on Talking Pictures at 8pm they're beginning the showing of the 1960s series of Maigret with Rupert Davies, which Georges Simenon the author of the books very much approved of, so that should be good viewing.

Peter Pudding, its much taller wall than the wall in your garden.
And the footpaths around the walled gardens are very wheelchair friendly

DTease/Poet - your comments were so funny.
I love walled gardens, especially when you see apples, apricots etc trailed on them.

Poet: Your 100% correct about Zulu, one company of Welsh soldiers fighting off the Zulu tribes.
But that poor Zulu fighter WILL got it in the neck!
Everyone fired at WILL.

Watched The Train Cyril Brilliant! There's something coming on TP based on a true story The Night Reaper, didn't catch when it is on , just keep an eye out. I saw the trailer to it.

If only you had taken a photo of Mr Pastry Harry.

Agree with you Cyril about The Train being a good film but it seems to me that, along with many other films of the same vintage, it appears on one channel or another about once every two weeks. Did you see that lost episodes of No Hiding Place were being shown yesterday on Talking Pictures TV? Those were the days eh? When the Wolseley police cars still had split windscreens and bells instead of sirens.

Nice one John G.

I heard however that the regiment at Rorkes Drift was actually the 2nd Warwickshire with more English soldiers than Welsh .

I enjoyed The Train Veronica . What a great actor Paul Scofield was .
I'm sure you'll agree though that it's rare for the BBC to show three films back to back . They much prefer the junk they plied us with at Christmas .
And it's so difficult to enjoy films on the commercial channels . The adverts are on so long I sometimes forget what I'm watching .

Veronica look on u tube
Ricard Hearne as Mr Pastry.

I will do Harry, I remember him well in the fifties. Plus I watch a lot of old films on there as well. A lot better than some of the trash on Tzvv

sorry Veronica
should be Richard Hearne.

It's on tomorrow Veronica, Wed 05 Jan 17:30 Love and War. The Night Reaper. The story of the World War II air ace Kurt Kuttelwascher, who fought to defend Britain. With one of his twin daughters, discussing her search for her father and about the tragic end to his life. (SUBTITLES AVAILABLE)

There is also an interesting article written about him here, along with the film documentary from youtube: https://fcafa.com/2015/11/29/karel-kuttelwascher-the-night-reaper/

I missed that episode of No Hiding Place Derek, I'll try to remember to view it on Encore. https://www.tptvencore.co.uk/

I watched the article on ytube last night Cyril but will watch the other tomorrow. Thanks for that - it was very sad but interesting. I had never heard of Kurt Kutellwascher. You tend to just hear of the British Aces more. I look forward to seeing it.
