never understood the fascination with wizards and that sort of thing

lord of the rings and hobbits leaves me similarly cold

Well-written, entertaining, and engaging books IMO. Read them to my kids, and they were better than 99% of the other sh*te. Can't comment on the films.
Report akabula • May 21, 2014 10:22 PM BST
Never read any of the books and never watched any of the films, never appealed to me.
Same with Polish girls, put off by their accents. Wink
Report kenny mann • May 21, 2014 10:27 PM BST
I'm sure the books are fine for kids, as Enid Blyton was in my day, but to put this stuff on in the evening is ridiculous.
Report sideshowbob • May 21, 2014 10:39 PM BST
i really like the harry potter films. they arent amongst my favourite movies, but i have the set.
didnt watch it for that reason, never watch movies on tv that i own. itd be like sh@gging a woman that youre married to. you have access any time you want, so whats the point?

Thanks Kenny, I finally realise that I'm not alone. Can't warm to any of this wizard nonsense. All my friends have read the books and seen the films umpteen times. I fail to understand why.
Report kenny mann • May 21, 2014 11:05 PM BST
Yeh, Foinavon. Now if they brought back the 1936 Flash Gordon serial that would be different.
Report Pokermonster • May 21, 2014 11:11 PM BST
I thought the first five films were very good, the final two or three not so much.  I think J. K. Rowling lost the plot a bit towards the end.
Report Foinavon • May 21, 2014 11:12 PM BST
Probably watched Flash Gordon as a kid during the matinees but can't remember much about it.

Although I failed to get very far through the first Tolkien book and found it boring, I really enjoy Terry Pratchett's Disc-world series, mainly for the chuckles.
Report Pokermonster • May 21, 2014 11:16 PM BST
I loved the Discworld books, too.  The ones featuring DEATH were my favourite.
Report kenny mann • May 21, 2014 11:20 PM BST
I saw Flash Gordon in the 50's at a neighbour's house. Didn't get a TV till 1961.

It was a great series.

Yes, Susan Death is awesome.

Our first TV was in 1953, bought to watch the coronation. It was a 12 inch Pye (pretty sure that was the name, long since defunct no doubt)

We were a bit behind the other families in the TC stakes Foinavon. I had to content myself with listening to the likes of Rays A Laugh, The Clitheroe Kid, Journey Into Space, Paul Temple etc on the radio, but they were great programmes.

Report Foinavon • May 21, 2014 11:47 PM BST
Yes, used to listen to them too. The Navy Lark, Round the Horn and one or two others on Sundays.
Journey Into Space was gripping, loved the intro where that voice said the title in measured tones. Always seem to end with the sound of an airlock opening and wondering what was behind it.
Report kenny mann • May 21, 2014 11:58 PM BST
David Jacobs did the intro' to Journey Into Space.

A load of them are on youtube, some of them way after I was listening.

Although we agree on cats KennyHappy

not on this...really good tonight, I nearly cried when Dobbo the elf diedCry...so sad

I regard Coronation street as the **** myself(although I liked it the 60/70s)

I am over 12 well physically(in my 60s) but perhaps not mentally

not the only one who suffers that problem on hereLaugh

ps

you can hear a lot of the old radio programs on Radio 4 extra

and I wish they had a channel which showed all the old TV programs from 60/70s

used to one called be called Bravo, but it changedSad
