Monkey: Pigsy's 10,000 ladies

MONKEY is cult TV in the true sense. Probably doesn't appeal to everyone. Those to whom it does appear like it very much!

Glee: Like A Prayer

GLEE Club ~ there is no such thing as a Glee club here in the UK. I mean, I didn't even know "Glee" was a generic name for theatre groups till I accidentally fell across a passage in a Bette Davis biography that mentioned her own schooltime Glee associations... Here, "Glee" Club would be called the School Drama Society... Anyway, the TV show has been running here since late last year. I think the actress who plays Sue is amazing... some of the musical performances are pretty good too...

KEITH FLOYD ~ A TRIBUTE

KEITH FLOYD was one of the most classic TV cooks of all time. Here from his best series Floyd On France, is his attempt at a mushroom omelette ~ with "angry dragon lady" "simmering" behind ...



And here's the most classic clip of all. This wasn't a set-up ~ the French-Basque lady was for real! "FLOYD CAN'T COOK!"

HERE'S PABLO, "drugs dog" in the UK national drugsline's "talk to Frank" campaign...



WHY I LOATHE CANNABIS: THE MOST BORING BORE'S DRUG OUT

Carlos and Dadinha

35min documentary on a couple dragged down by heroin addiction in Mozambique, East Africa and their progress in kicking the habit...

The Price of Heroin

Why on earth this girl weighs so very little I'm not sure. Heroin alone doesn't do that... crack can, anorexia can, so can HIV so I'm pretty sure something else is going on they're not reporting here...

Heroin: American Antidrugs Campaign

THIS IS NOT what heroin does to brain and body. How can I say that? Because millions of people have been given heroin ("diamorphine") in British hospitals~ and survived without their shells broken. It's the most effective painkiller there is.

The rest of this commercial, in my opinion, is pretty much bang-on.

"There's a darker side to coke"

HERE's the TV ad featuring Pablo the "drugs dog"... made for Talk To FRANK ~ the UK National Drugs Helpline

EastEnders: Bianca's Jackson Five

This is absolute classic. A BBC trailer for their "top" soap; ginger whinger Bianca, now a single mother of FIVE makes a return after nearly a decade away... chucked out of her house and following the petroleum scent of the car-mechanic love of her life she always called (at the top of her considerable voice) "RICK-AAAY!"...
