Thanks, all

thanks hfink - can I get a raspberry ripple with that little wooden spoon thing please

wd all

It's funny how these things go. Number 22 took the longest to craft but was one of the earliest to go. I guess once the correct 'Lancaster' connection is made there aren't too many other films it could be.

No problem NEC, lol   I'll send it round with the spacesuit-wearing delivery guy

Early 1970s. As the start of the film says, he adored this place...

That was a bad tip - Late 1970s I should have said!

WD H and all, way too difficult for my sparse film knowledge

Thanks squares, thought you did pretty well though . It's the reverse with me, probably watched far more films (not many modern ones mind you) than listened to bands. Though I am learning more from YouTube, which is a fantastic source for discovering stuff that passed you by.
