I was a big fan then,& admire him still:) we just loved Gary.... thanx for all the fun memories
Excellent episode! I just watched the American & Australian versions of "German Week", & the British are definitely the best! There's no denying the chemistry between the actors. Some things are better off unduplicated & AYBS is one of them. You can't duplicate perfection.
Looking back on those days, the dismissal, and the central character(s), it's easy to understand how the actions of the GG can be seen as outrageous...! An appalling man,an appalling government who profited due to the dismissal. Norman Gunston somehow manages to provide a good laugh in what were stormy times in Oz. Thanks for the upload 😁👍
Only in the Seventies could a band have a hit like this then fade away never to see the light of day again but live on in the hearts and minds of those who remember to this day. Still touring fifty years on, who would have thought it? I'm guessing not even Darryl Braithwaite then.
The 1970 ford galaxy he has here was originally brought from Arizona in 1994 by a mate of mine ,myself and three other mates . My mate sold it to a guy in Middlesbrough who worked in a body shop who really went to town on the body work which was originally white with a vinyl roof that was long gone along with the paintwork due to the Arizona desserts sun .It came from a little old lady who had it parked up for over two years .This car took us from Arizona to Baltimore with a few hiccups but good god what an adventure that was ,This is the true story of how this beautiful car came to Britain.

Lol my father was an ex nasho @ ingleburn camp 1952 -1956 infantry !! He always said being 90 yrs of age that there is no position of a woman doing a field role ! They should be @ home minding a house & looking after babies!!! I'll give him that! But there's definitely dykes out there ! I know all about it my ex is a fat nurse !!! Lol ❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂
My late father, Joe O'Shea, was in charge of night security at Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park, just southwest of Chicago, from 1975-1986. During this time, Elke Sommer and Forrest Tucker were starring in a play at the nearby Drury Lane Martinique Theatre. One evening, Forrest suffered a non-fatal heart attack and had to be admitted to LCM. Elke asked the hospital if she could pay Forrest a short visit after one of the performances. She asked if there were a side entrance she could use to avoid attracting a crowd, and she promised she would only stay about five minutes. Under those conditions, the hospital agreed to let her come. Dad arranged for the available entrance and escorted her to Forrest's room. True to her word, she only stayed five minutes, just long enough to tell Forrest how much she and the rest of the crew missed him and were all pulling for his recovery (which, thankfully, he made). Then, she quietly left the hospital. Dad always said what a nice lady she was.
Is incredible how time goes by. I remember watching this series when it came out in 1995. I was living in Australia at that time. I was surprised by the lack of military bearing of the new officer and how long his hair was. The guardsmen did not look very fit either. Obviously, the standards of excellence were dropping fast in the British army even then.
