Awakenings is a great movie. Will try and keep my peepers open for "A Kind of Loving" . I can't remember seeing it before.
starts sunday 7/3 at 9,00pm, the most beautiful girl in the world in the series " THE CHAMPIONS" ALEXANDER BASTIDO
The Champions is a British espionage thriller/science fiction/occult detective fiction adventure television series. It was produced by Lew Grade's ITC Entertainment production company, and consists of 30 episodes broadcast on the UK network ITV during 1968–1969.[1] The series was broadcast in the US on NBC, starting in summer 1968.[2]
Agents Craig Stirling, Sharron Macready and Richard Barrett work for a United Nations law enforcement organization called 'Nemesis', based in Geneva. Barrett is a codebreaker, Stirling a pilot, and Macready a recently widowed scientist and doctor.
During their first mission as a team, their plane crashes in the Himalayas. They are rescued by an advanced civilization living secretly in the mountains of Tibet, who save their lives, granting them enhanced abilities, including extrasensory powers to communicate with one another over distances (telepathy) and to foresee events (precognition), enhanced versions of the ordinary five senses, and intellectual and physical abilities reaching the fullest extent of human capabilities.[2][3]
Many stories feature unusual villains, such as fascist regimes from unspecified South American countries, Nazis (a common theme of ITC 1960s and 1970s TV, in part owing to both the writers and the domestic audience having been of the war generation) or the Chinese. The villains' schemes often threaten world peace; Nemesis' brief is international, so the agents deal with threats transcending national interests. The main characters have to learn the use of their new powers as they go along, keeping what they discover secret from friend and foe alike. Each episode begins with a close-up shot of a map, showing the region in which the story is to take place, followed by a teaser sometimes prefaced by stock footage; this is followed by the title sequence. Immediately following that is a post-title vignette, in which one or more of the Champions demonstrates exceptional mental or physical abilities, often astonishing or humiliating others. In one example Stirling participates in a sharpshooting contest. In another, Macready's car is blocked in, two laughing passing drunks try to lift it out but she goes round to the other side and pulls it out of the parking space one-handed. Paradoxically, the narration during these often-public demonstrations usually mentions the need to keep the powers a secret.
The only other series regular is the Champions' boss, Tremayne. He does not know that his agents have special abilities, although he does ask innocent questions about just how on their missions they managed to carry out certain tasks about which their reports were vague.

Enjoyed seeing "A Kind Of Loving" again. From what was shown it certainly grim oop North in the 1960s. part of the enjoyment is spotting actors who later became well-known. In these were James Bolam, Jack Smethurst, Leonard Rossiter, Kathy Staff to name just a few.

For anyone who hasn't seen this at 10.35pm tonight on BBC4 is the incredible true story of Eddie Chapman the wartime double agent.
The line about truth being stranger than fiction is never truer than when applied to Eddie Chapman, a tall, dashing chap who was also a master safe-cracker, irrepressible womaniser and, at the same time, a Second World War double agent. Journalist Ben Macintyre tells Chapman’s story with the energy of the man himself – he re-creates a safe-cracking job at a London cinema, jumps out of a hotel window in Jersey and blows up deckchairs in the garden of the house where Chapman received training from his Nazi handlers. Best of all is superb footage of an elderly, unrepentant Chapman cheerfully recalling his past misadventures.
Summary
Ben Macintyre revisits the story of wartime double agent Eddie Chapman, the subject matter of his best-selling book Agent Zigzag. He reveals how, during the Second World War, Chapman was able to dupe Nazi Germany so successfully that he was awarded the Iron Cross, the country's most prestigious decoration. Includes footage from an interview the former spy gave three years before his death in 1997.

8pm tonight for Dick Emery fans on Talking Pictures.
Ooh... You Are Awful is the 1972 feature-length 'The Dick Emery Show'. It starred Dick Emery, Derren Nesbitt, Ronald Fraser and Cheryl Kennedy.
Before his death, Reggie Campbell Peek deposited a stolen £500,000 into a Swiss bank account. But Peek left a record of the account number: the digits tattooed on the bottoms of four young women, none of whom knows the value of her asset. His friend and partner-in-crime Charlie Tully, using his talent as a "master of disguise", sets out to locate those women and gain sight of the digits. Meanwhile, Tully is being watched by other - more dangerous - criminals.

On the Sony Classic Channel tonight at 9pm another chance to see that great film 10 Rillington Place.
Based on Ludovic Kennedy’s 1961 non-fiction book of the same name, this film was a sombre, articulate, and chilling dramatisation of the infamous murders in London when John Reginald Christie – a mild-mannered psychotic mass killer – murdered scores of women and buried them under the floorboards and inside the walls of his rooming house at 10 Rillington Place in Notting Hill.
After the wrong man – Timothy Evans – was convicted and hanged in 1949, the furore that surrounded the case was responsible for the abolition of the death penalty in England.
Richard Attenborough gives one of the screen’s finest and most subtle performances as the drab landlord who strikes again and again without suspicion, and John Hurt is especially fine as the poor illiterate fall guy who goes to the gallows in his place.

I was flicking through the channels on Friday morning at approx. 7:30 am and noticed a film was on which I had no interest in but notice 'No Hiding Place' was on at 8am. I thought to myself surely this is not what I watched as a nipper in black and white. To my surprise it was! I'll never forget the name....Superintendent Lockhart but is actually Chief Superintendent Lockhart.
I couldn't believe it. I can remember that but no idea what I had for dinner last Monday.

Sparrow, go to somewhere like Prince Of Wales drive for example in Battersea and your looking at upto and above a million for a 2 bedroom apartment. Not really slumming it in those parts of London now.

Decent film on Talking Pictures channel tonight at 9pm...."Only Two Can Play" (1962)
John Lewis (Sellers) is a poorly paid and professionally frustrated librarian and occasional drama critic, whose affections fluctuate between glamorous Liz (Mai Zetterling), and his long-suffering wife Jean (Virginia Maskell).
When a better paid job becomes vacant, Lewis is reluctant to apply, but is persuaded to do so by Jean. Then, he meets the obviously attractive Elizabeth Gruffydd-Williams (Liz), a designer with the local amdram company and wife of a local councillor.
Liz offers to intercede with her husband to help in getting Lewis the job, and makes it clear that she is attracted to him. Lewis is easily seduced into an affair, although the couple never consummate their attraction.
