I was talking about where I live, kenny.

I think we're all at cross purposes kenny

I just know that Bill Owen is buried close by to where I live but have no idea about where Peter Sallis is buried.

The Rainbow  Jacket  on now 

The Rainbow jacket is my fav racing film of all time...Its the film which made Willie carson want to become a jockey

It even has one steward asking another steward whether his filly will by trying   Very fine performance by the young "Fella".   OK, the race sequences are not up to much, but the story-line and performances are excellent, and the Technicolor is luminous.

They must have put it out on the circuit - we are looking for actors who will fit into a racing film.  If you look the part, like a bet and/or have some racing knowledge this would be helpful.  Morley - Tick. Wilfred Hyde-Whyte - Tick. Sid James - Tick

The boy seemed to have a very short acting career as there is nothing listed about him after 1956.

Good film tonight on the channel at 9pm "A Place To Go" 1963 film with Rita Tushingham and some scenes from Clapton Greyhound Stadium.

Rainbow Jacket must be far and away the best racing film made.watched it for the first time today. great action from Epsom,Sandown. Lingfield and Newmarket.Cameo performance fromSir Gordon Richards.
It was all fairly realistic unlike most racing films.
contributions to the script from John Hislop, owner breeder of Brigadier Gerard.

No, but if I can help someone as I pass this way my living will not be in vain. ;-)

I'd not heard of the channel immediately before it on 327, Retro Movies, but caught a film on it yesterday from the 1950s, unfortunately it went to an ad break about halfway through and when it returned started showing another film

I didn't have a clue what the film was as it wasn't what had been advertised in the listings, but after googling the name of the bad guy, discovered it was called The Hitch-Hiker, based on the true story of Billy Cook, a pyschopath who had caught lifts of people before shooting them dead, including a family of 5 and their dog

I have lived in Yorkshire since 1970 kenny but was brought up in the East End of London at Hackney.

sparrow, i was born in hoxton,as were all my family, i went to Shoreditch school in Falkirk street.

I worked the Nile market with my uncle in the 1960s dambuster. My mother lived in Wenlock Street in the 1920s.

i know The Nile, i use to go to Sturleys with my Nan in the early 70s, my mum worked in a dairy in Murray Grove, my brother had a pub called The Shaftesbury in the 90s, that was in Shaftesbury street, i went to Whitmore primary school and use to play football and cricket on the green in New North Road, we lived along there, opposite the Salvation army in cropley court.

dambuster, I think my mother went to a school in or near Murray Grove. My grandfather's family lived in Essex and Herbert street.

It's the same in Hackney now dambuster with Ex council flats selling for half million plus!

Derby Day  Tues 10.35

I notice in this film The Card is Valerie Hobson who married a certain John Profumo.
