HOW GOOD WAS THAT ! FILMED IN THE LAST CENTERY WHEN LONDON STILL HAD COBBLED STREETS, SEWERAGE STREET ENTRANCES & GREAT COMIC TALENT, WATCHED THE MOVIE ON THE CINEMA LAST XMAS, NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE, BUT HEARD THE NAME THE 3RD MAN GROWING UP, THOUGHT IT WAS REFERENCE TO THE COLD WAR SPY'S, ARRIVED JUST AFTER THE CREDITS DID NOT EXPECT ORSON TO SHOW UP, WHAT A SURPRISE THAT WAS ! TRUST ME IT JUST CEMENTED THAT MOVIE. SATURDAY NIGHT WAS THE UK VERSION OF SNL BRAODCAST ON A SAT NIGHT PRIMTIME WITH BLIND DATE ON ITV & TOO MANY POEPLE OUT ON THE RAZZ FOR IT TO GAIN VIEWERSHIP AND TOO EXPENSIVE TO MAKE. SO C4 CANNED IT,
Eh? Not sure what you mean. Craig Cash was a co-writer and appeared as Mrs Merton's son once or twice, but that was about it. The Mrs Merton Show started 3 years before The Royle Family existed
@@tonycowin Of course not, but you said she had a member of the Royle family on The Mrs Merton Show every week. So I think you mean because Caroline was playing Mrs Merton and in 3 years time she'd be playing Denise, that Denise was somehow on show every week? Er ok then, brilliant
@@tonycowin Arguing with you? Not really, I was just trying to understand what you were on about since what you said is complete nonsense and I thought maybe I misunderstood you. It's like saying Basil Fawlty was in Monty Python's Flying Circus, or Mr. Bean was in Blackadder
I watched The Third Man again this weekend and boy this sketch does it justice, even down to the Dutch angle. Robbie was exceptional and was obviously a huge fan of Welles, even playing him in Urban Myths in 2017 and choosing the Harry Lime theme when he was a guest on Desert Island Discs in 1992. Great job, old man. Greatly missed. ❤
It was more to do with the fact that in the same year he'd put together a clips show "Parkinson: The Interviews" which the BBC ran for 3 series. He first did the introductions for the shows in a mocked up studio in his garden shed.
Star Trek: The Next Generation was brilliant, and indeed how it aired in the US was different, it was not made for a single TV station, it was syndicated, meaning individual stations across the US bought it - so say it could air in one city on a CBS affiliate, and down the road in another city on a NBC affiliate.
