I can always remember a TV advert for West Midlands Travel that features the song "Wake Up Little Susie" by The Everly Brothers. Does anyone remember it? I can't seem to see it anywhere on RU-vid.

The very first time l saw The Chase with the Beast on it, l thought to myself, "that's the guy from Grange Hill." But it isn't. Mark Labbett is The Beast from The Chase, whereas Joshua Fenton played Francis "Mauler" McCaul in Grange Hill. They really look alike, don't they!
Thank you. I'd heard of Soap Fever but never saw this (and never knew Emily Simons hosted the show). Always appreciate seeing rare Crossroads material.
Thankyou thank you thank you thank you. I can't thank you enough Mark. It is criminal that there are not more RTR episodes on YT considering YT is 20 years old next year. The camera work on this season was also dreadful. Twice Peter went in and twice it was missed. Double Dare never appealed to me but as a child, I loved RTR. It was on The Real Ghostbusters level of fandom with the Shane Richie era being my favourite, even though from 2024 eyes, he did act a bit of a douche but I think he was just living up to an act to annoy the critics. Anyhow, my bucket list of RTR episodes is vast. From all of season 2 (season 1 hardly used the gunge tanks in risks, this episode used quite a bit). The Xmas episode from '93 when the battle of the soaps took place. That was an epic episode. Too see that again would be brilliant. It is just a shame all 4 years of RTR episodes sit in a BBC vault, unused. But thanks again Mark. If anyone has episodes of RTR, please upload them.
Oh my god do I have adhd like I mock tiktok kids for having so little attention span but fuck me that prospero ad felt like infinity being stuck in a loop where the dude just says call prospero and quotation without obligation over and over and I needed to skip to get out of it lol
This store and its adverts makes me sad, makes me yearn for a brighter era. I wish life was still like those ads, but unfortunately it has descended into miserable, dystopian hell in the UK. I am in my fifties now, probably older than my Dad was when we used to go to this store with him. But it was a golden age of a simpler time to live in. Treasured memories, and perhaps they are all any of us have to hold on to.
Remember when he died People phoning the Ian Collins show on the talk sport evening show people phoning in talking about Pat Roach Saying what a great bloke he was
Good old Blakey. A comedy hero very much missed. God bless all of them on On The Buses, they were great..I've met Anna Karen a few times but would love to have met Stephen Lewis who was a very private man apparantly. Got them all on DVD.
