I'd seen it in print before, but *someone* cant remember who, talked about it in a visualised podcast recently. Can anyone remember the Chopra gangster story ever being told on a pod? |

Can anyone remember where an ex player recently told the story of Roy Keane and the army camp? |

Here’s a hypothetical question to kill time until Town in 97 comes out If you were putting together a Welcome to Wrexham style Town documentary what are the must have moments since the last relegation. Collapse of itv digital / admin / Burley is sacked Roy Keane’s Ipswich Mick a brush with promotion - F off Lambert and the training ground inferno / the rise of blue action The Americans at coming / Sheeran arrives Running towards adversity in league one 55,000 take to the streets What am I missing? |
| Forum Reply | Anyone got a VW or similar camper van? at 12:54 18 Apr 2024
We've got a Mazda Bongo too (Massimo LuBongo if you're asking). They are about 1/10th the cost of a VW and great little vans. Ours is a 95 Diesel, it's perfect for quick family getaways, even better for festivals. Two kids in the pop top, me and the OH on a rock and roll bed in the van. Just look out for rust, they are Japanese imports, so they hate salted roads! There's a garage in Felixstowe that's good with them and one near N*rwich which is great with them. We bought ours on one of the many Mazda Bongo (Also called Ford Friendee) facebook groups. [Post edited 18 Apr 12:59]

I don’t think they are sadly. Quite a few passed away that year. The last that I had the name of died three or four years ago. When we did the risk assessment for that show we discovered that the % risk of a veteran dying whilst commemorating the anniversary was almost identical to the % risk of dying during D-Day itself. They were an amazing bunch, sitting in a cafe having a beer with them the night before was a real experience. We all just shut up and listened to them. |

I had the immense privilege of making a radio show commemorating the 70th anniversary. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p020h5jp/p020h4p8 I met with dozens of veterans at various locations including care homes, Arromanches anf the Chelsea Pensioners home and recorded with many of them including this poem. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p020h0fc We ended up being dropped on to the beach 70 years to the minute. It was a truly life changing experience if I’m honest. I’d also recommend D-Day Minute by Minute by Simon Mayo’s brother (can’t remember his first name) |

At Watford they were massive pains about me having a normal sized rucksack. Had to leg it to a left luggage area on the other side of the ground just before kick off and then again at the end to retrieve it before it shut, missing the celebrations. I'm currently having exactly the same fear about tomorrow night with taking a work laptop in. |

I'm almost certain there is a mention in an ep of Hancock's Half Hour too, but I cant find it. Sure it'll come to me eventually. Most likely in the football pools ep of course. |

Yep, Happiness Patrol actually stands up better than I'd remembered, clunky FX, but an Anti Thatcher, Anti Clause 28 serial on kids TV is something I can get behind, Silver Nemesis mocks the special relationship and predicts the re-emergence of the far right it an enjoyable romp (still no idea who Courtney Pine's agent had something over)... Meanwhile Feneric and Remembrance of the Daleks are both all time classics IMO. For balance Caves and Earthshock great though they are, are pretty much the same story twice, but then Caves has the minus point of yet another baddie who has been badly disfigured in a half arsed Phantom of the Opera style (see also Black Orchid et al)... As much as I love the 5 Drs, you've conveniently ignored Timeflight, Snakedance and The Kings Demon which are all much worse than any McCoy era story. We may have to agree to disagree I suspect. |

Pertwee and McCoy were my favourites growing up. I was a fan just in time for the cancellation, but luckily my brother was an obsessive who knew fans who could get hooky copies of old eps 🙌 I’ve been rewatching a lot of Pertwee and McCoy and really surprised by how well it holds up. The Davison era on the other hand is an utter horror show with just occasional moments (Earthshock, Resurrection of the Daleks). If you enjoyed the Pertwee era (and Troughton), there’s a really good audiobook called Who and Me, by the Producer Barry Letts that I would love to have included more info from. Loads of amazing stories of Pertwee nicking Who props to open fetes and chase “dolly birds” etc. |

Full disclosure, I didn't manage to sneak any Town references in this time, but if you enjoyed the Rise and Fall of Britpop, you might also like these Dr Who Documentaries, which follow a similar pattern but cramming 60 years in to 114 minutes. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m001rrmp |

If we sign up for the friendlies tomorrow and are overseas for any of the early games do we get to view them or is there a separate international version of town Tv that you can’t see domestically? Keen not to pay once then pay again in France and it’s all as clear as mud. Not impressed with the new site etc so far tbh. |
