That's fightin' talk. Anyway some cast list in Dr. Terror's House of Horrors: Donald Sutherland, Alan 'Fluff' Freeman, Roy Castle, Kenny Lynch, Tubby Hayes(!)
― Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Saturday, 10 April 2021 09:30 (three years ago) link
Tubby Hayes was a man of many talents.. but I didn't know he did acting as well.
― calzino, Saturday, 10 April 2021 09:54 (three years ago) link
He didn't actually have any lines, he just had to blow some sax (and flute!) and pal about with Roy Castle a bit. It's a bit like Graham Bond showing up in "That'll Be the Day", a nice bit of casting!

Donald the last man standing! He's even outlived the Pickled Prince Consort. Will he outlast the Queen herself?

Tbh I've wondered the same thing as imago before but never said anything b/c I have no idea about the show really except that it involves police and lots of people like it.
Anyway, I am avoiding monarchist-fucked TV by playing Disco Elysium, which is very cheery and not at all depressing and nothing to do with cops in any way. Ahem.

Charles is Duke of Edinburgh now but it will pass to Edward when Charles becomes king, it says here:
In keeping with the Letters Patent issued when George VI gave Philip the title in 1947, the Prince of Wales as the duke’s eldest son, inherits the title the Duke of Edinburgh, but on Charles’s eventual accession to the throne, the title will merge with the crown and can be regranted anew to Edward.

Does seem a bit of a diss to the dead one that his title is eventually going to be a castoff to the fourth kid

"Tbh I've wondered the same thing as imago before but never said anything b/c I have no idea about the show really except that it involves police and lots of people like it."
Same. Obv leftists can like a cop show and not cops bcz it's just a show. Not that hard.
That tweet was funny -- and others I've seen on cancelling an evening's programming for a whole TV channel or radio -- as it seems like there is v little patience for it rn, what with coming out of a three month lockdown and having this shit thrust upon ppl. I like it as an indication of what we are just putting up with from the establishment, and how quickly it can all tip over. Obv it won't be this that does it.

The overnight ratings are absolutely fascinating.Total viewing was down by about 15% compared to last Friday.ITV dropped below a million viewers in the 9pm primetime slot, which is almost unheard of. At that point Ch4 had more viewers than BBC1, BBC2, ITV & Ch5 combined.— Lee Thompson (@leethommo) April 10, 2021
