Hello and welcome to Let Me Bore You To Sleep. My name's Jason Newland. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.
So before I start, I'd like to say a big thank you to Joanne for your PayPal gift. Thank you. Thank you very much.
And also, say thank you to Cara. Only gone and painted me a picture. Painted a picture for me.
Blimey. So, thank you. I've not received it yet.
But when I do receive it, I will talk about it. But that was, it's got a picture of Vinnie and Andre. It's, yeah, wow.
So, so, so, so, what's happening? What's happening, man? Oh. Wow, the amount of apps I've got open on my phone. I'm going to close them all.
There's about 50 apps open. Wow, that explains why everything's going so slowly. If the, if the data is being used for all of those apps.
Blimey. There's stuff that I've not used for months. There must be a way of getting rid of this.
Oh, all gone. All gone. Surely just close, turn the phone off.
That should be enough, isn't it? So, how many days have I done this? I've been quite good. I've been quite good, I've done quite a few days in a row now. Let's have a look.
Sign in. By the way, I have deleted the Deep Sleep Whisper podcast, Deep Sleep Whisper Hypnosis podcast, the one with the music on the background and stuff. Because it wasn't updating with Apple Podcasts.
And I was getting like 20 peak 20 plays a day. And it just wasn't just, there was no point having it. So I got rid of it.
I don't know what the issue was. I tried multiple times to fix it. But something there was a there was an issue.
And I don't know what it was. I even end up deleting loads of stuff in the hope that I could then add but no. Very, very weird, very weird.
So there's only the two main podcasts, which is the Let Me Boys Sleep and the other one. So I'm just looking at how many I've done in in a row now. So I did one yesterday, which was the first of May.
Did one 30th of April. 29th of April. 20.
Oh, 28th of April. 27th of April. 26th of April.
25th of April. That's a bit weird. There's no date on that one.
I don't know when that was. No date on it. So it was the 1101.
25th, maybe 24th. Yeah, blimey. So 25th, 26th, 25th, 24th.
I don't know 20. Oh, no, it was a 23rd. That was a 23rd.
I've got the date on one of them. 23rd, go back. So okay, so that wasn't so if I go so the 25th, the 25th, 267891011 first and second, so see, eighth recording in a row.
Wow. Okay, all together now there's a hero. If you look inside your phone.
Yep it's me that's not bad. Vinnie's on the floor chomping on a bone. He's just had something to eat he's been out a few times today three times yeah three times he's been out.
The first two times he was running around with doggies the first time there was about four dogs all together all running around. The second time he ran around with one dog and the third time we just went to the petrol station to get some milk. I needed some milk I'm running out of food.
Well I'm running out of milk so I bought some milk it really is kind of that's it that basically that really not the most interesting story I've ever told but not the most boring either to be honest. Let's see what the local news is every day I check the news just in case there's something just you know so we've got we've got a forecast for heavy rain and thunderstorms.
Is that tonight? hmm alright.
What's this? hmm did did did did did did there's a hero if you look inside your heart again this silly website it just I mean account details it's got me it's got my details I'm actually logged in right but it still won't let me see the story and I'm logged in so subscribe so if I click subscribe what happens then subscribe stay connected stay informed £5 for five months and then renews at £4.99 a month that's the digital pack whatever that means the web only £3.99 a month so even though before they
said well they'd block it and say well you can if you want to see the information then you can join make an account you know give your email address and stuff which is what I did now that's not enough. I mean what's next? blood samples? donating a kidney?
I mean I don't know what more do they want there's a way around it though this is what I do is I copy the headline and I just go to a different website in fact I know what I'm going to do see what's the news on there put it into AI it should come up something should come up that wasn't really that useful but it's okay if I use the copilot so this is Bing copilot let's see if this will come up with some information okay come on searching okay yes
coming up so all the information is now coming up on Bing copilot so I actually have to go to not just the search engine but the AI search engine in order to find out what's on a website that should be for the public to see I thought I thought the websites of newspapers was a public service especially like local websites local news for local people okay Mike Tyson told you there's just three rounds to beat Jake Paul oh okay look at this Netflix is removing all these movies and TV shows this is on The Independent Netflix removes a large amount of titles each month without warning I didn't know that or did I know that?
I might have known that and May 2024 is no different this is basically an advert for Netflix isn't it really to get people to watch shows before they get taken off I guess over the next 31 days many movies and TV shows will not only be added to the service but will disappear altogether or I should read it but will disappear all together now we need a lot of people just saying it will disappear meaning titles will vanish from your watch list before you had the chance to watch them.
Fortunately The Independent has put together a list of every single thing including some Netflix originals that will be cold in the coming month from high-profile films to little seen shows there's every title here's every title being removed in 2024 May NB what does NB stand for?
we compiled this list with assistance from what's on Netflix with assistance so basically they copied and pasted is that what they did let's have a look come on let's have a look say what's on Netflix so basically it's just a list of everything that's leaving in May it's a big long list and by the day that's all they've done is copy and pasted they've copied it and pasted it into their newspaper website and what do they say we compiled this list with assistance from what's on Netflix you copied and pasted
not really assistance maybe oh no Jenna Ortega surprises fans by leaving hit Netflix series Wednesday I guess that's the only one I think she's in on Netflix well I'm not watching it and she's not on it so there continue reading okay Austin in fact I'm not even going to look at the newspaper I'm just gonna go onto Netflix what's on Netflix 13 hours the secret soldiers of Benghazi Benghazi Austin land awakening 1990 that was a movie that's Robert De Niro and Robin Williams I do believe baby geniuses don't know that
one Barbie dream house adventure no three seasons and they're getting rid of it no that's the first of May it's gone it's the second no coach Carter the core the core that was a movie isn't it Issa Scruppin the Ein Sat Scruppin the Nazi health death squads Gods of Egypt heat knuckle Kung Fu Panda 3 I'm surprised about that because Kung Fu Panda movies are very popular aren't they Monathic 2 Moonage Octonauts Primal Fear Octonauts don't know what that is Sinister the skeleton key the story of film Sun Cry Moon
Sir Sir Petter the wall climb for gold 23 walks Bennett's war boys over flowers Colony 3 seasons Harry Enfield's television programs 2 seasons Iris Lady Driver Medic Medici roped the stand at Paxton County Chris De Stefano Despicable Me 3 The Salviniere the football factory Resident Evil Resident Evil so 1 2 3 4 3 Resident Evil movies they leave on the 5th I've only got three days daughters of reminiscence City of God 10 years later have you seen the fireflies taskmaster 6 seasons didn't even know it was on there wow every
headline what's leaving Netflix UK on May the 10th 2024 what's leaving Netflix UK on May the 11th 2024 what's leaving Netflix UK on May the 12th 2024 see we say the 10th I think in other parts of the country the world rather the they say May 10 we don't say that never say that May 11 May 5 April 4 we say May the 10th or the 10th of May you know one of those definitely got T and an H in it so lots of those little idiosyncrasies isn't there between us
the defected arharn is that about arharn hunting high and low hunting high and low big mama's house big mama's house big mama's like father like son well 11 years between them two fantastic Mr Fox that's leaving I like that film it's good I didn't think I would because it looked rubbish but it's really good it's weird I don't know just not it looked rubbish just because the I'm not a big fan of that kind of animation I think it's is it called stop start animation or something it's just it maybe
I got it wrong but it's yeah didn't really I feel when it comes to animation I'm a bit more probably prefer like Toy Story animation or Shrek or the snow not a snow queen let it snow let it snow do do do do do do the snow never bothered me anyway I remember singing that I was at this it was a mind like you know mind the mental health charity it was at one of their days it's like a regular Friday lunchtime group and when you might think well why was
I singing that song but forget that for a minute one of the blokes there got really angry I don't like that song so maybe I want to sing it even more is that wrong followed them all the way home let it snow let it snow do do do do do dancing around in the snow never bothered me anyway and he said it's the cold never bothered me anyway it's not the snow I said see you like it really I don't inglorious bastards never watched it never watched it I don't know
just never never could get past a certain part of it without you know fifty shades of grey never watched it at least not with the sound up no I never watched it it wasn't really aimed at me to be honest penguins of Madagascar nope shark tail I did see I did see sharks tail turbo don't not sure if I saw that the bridge the CEO the figurine phone swap the producers one season no Uncontrollable Fond Amy Tan Octonauts to be honest a lot of stuff on here I've never even heard
of maybe if they promoted it I I've said in the past now I think I really believed it at some time that once it's on Netflix it stays there forever but clearly not sing to little women Belfast malignant the unbearable weight of massive talent the day I lost my shadow make mermaids what are you going to miss on UK Netflix UK in May 2024 let us know in the comments below so let's see who's left comments so this is posted this is posted April the 18th okay and so this is
a website that the independent which is a really large newspaper in the UK this was posted on April the 18th 2024 and I'm using this as a source clearly a very popular website and there's one comment literally just one comment Ellie the 8th of April which is weird because it was posted on the 19th it was posted on the 18th of April but she put a comment on the 8th of April that doesn't make sense how does that work so Ellie says boys over flowers it may be a bit dated
but it was the start of the helua wave and lesson one in the story of Li Ming Ho and his domination of drama watching the taming of Gu Jun Pyo is essential viewing I don't even remember that one's being mentioned written by Jacob Robinson Jacob joined what's on Netflix in 2018 as a full-time writer having worked in numerous other industries until that point Jacob covers all things Netflix whether that's TV or movies but specializes in covering new anime and K-dramas residing in Norwich in the United Kingdom so Gu I don't
know coming soon see what's coming soon to Netflix I don't understand why Netflix in America and Netflix in the UK is different why doesn't need to be anymore does it I mean there was a time terrestrial TV we would be well behind America with shows like Cheers it likes Friends or whatever we'd so behind so much so that often the Christmas special episode of these sitcoms whether it was Roseanne or Golden Girls or I don't know I'm just trying to think MASH or whatever the show was Seinfeld the Christmas show
would be on in the summer here and it used to I remember thinking why is the Christmas show on in the summer and I remember asking my dad I said dad why is it's the summer isn't it yeah it's July I said well why is the Christmas episode of the Golden Girls he said that's Roseanne I say Roseanne sorry Roseanne he said I like Golden Girls as well but it's just a different show I'm just not being pedantic so it's a little bit pedantic but that's fine he said look Jason
you'll find it you really find actually he didn't say Jason he said son because he doesn't know my name he said son you'll find that maybe sometimes it's difficult to be honest especially if you get into a relationship but honesty really does it's the best policy and he stole my Mars bar so that was a weird conversation but I said look dad but why why why why is it on why is it on in the summer why can't it be on in the winter in Christmas because you know for me
I've been a fan of American sitcoms and American shows I was brought up on them late 70s you know most of the best shows that I remember were American Starsky and Hutch in fact let's have a little look come on let's have a look best USA TV shows 70s I was a little kid some of them I didn't get to see I don't want the 8 160 yeah that's it 160 best shows ranked who do they think they are to rank it they're putting down number one happy days really is
this family shows best TV shows of the 70s I wouldn't put a family I mean I watched happy days but I wouldn't put it down as the best show but I did love it so yeah happy days so I used to watch that that started in 74 so I was four years no I was three years old when that started I watched it in the late 70s like I guess 77 78 whatever all in the family I don't remember watching that at all I don't remember that one mash went on
11 seasons so 72 to 83 here's a thing right and it's really weird but I remember this when I got my first television when I was about 14 maybe 13 14 I had a TV for over a year before the family disintegrated and maybe a year and a half maybe two years even I don't know probably 13 maybe and it was a black and white it wasn't a new black and white it was quite an old black and white TV had it at the bottom of my bed and it was
probably the best thing I ever had now ironically I could have just bought myself a TV I had multiple jobs TVs weren't cheap but I could have just bought myself a TV I don't know why I never just thought about doing it but I don't think it was allowed I don't think it was allowed to have TVs I don't know I can't remember but it was so good because I no longer had to go downstairs to watch telly and I could watch the programs I wanted to watch and also I'd
go to bed I'd start going to bed early and say oh I'm tired and I'd go to bed it's like you haven't had your breakfast yet you've got to go to school I just had to get upstairs and watch television with the lights off on my own it was brilliant and I discovered programs I'd never seen before because no one watched them downstairs also I was watching programs on later that I wasn't allowed to because my bedtime would be at nine o'clock or something I'm guessing I can't remember to be
honest with you so I'd go to bed so I'd miss a lot of the programs that were on later that were more for adults and Cheers was one of those programs that it was either on late I think nine o'clock I think it was on on I guess a Friday I know it was definitely on a Friday in the late 80s but this is like 84 1984 and there's two shows I remember watching there was Cheers and MASH and I loved them equally it's weird because I still I can see
why I love Cheers but I don't know why I love MASH because I see it now and I'm like I don't know why I like that I don't really understand why I enjoyed watching that but I did, I really did I loved it and I watched it for years until you know the final well actually I watched it for probably one year but they were showing repeats I just realised it ended probably it probably ended before I started watching it but they were showing repeats yeah it ended in 83 it
might have even been that they were re-showing the whole thing and showing it every night on BBC 2 or something and maybe that's why I liked it because I was watching it every night and I kind of got a bit hooked to it but yeah I really loved that and Cheers as well that was the other one that I just loved watching there was something special about having my own TV in my bedroom I've never had it before it was just amazing so what's number four the Carol Burnett show I do not remember that,
I don't know if it was on TV here or not number five I used to love this show the Rockford Files 1974 that started now again I remember watching it but I don't know how much of what I was watching was just repeats but I loved it yeah I loved the Rockford Files because he was so cool such a cool dude Jim Rockford I used to call him Jimmy and his dad he didn't used to call him dad did he used to call him something forget his name but he used
to have a name for him like Rock or something okay what's next WKRP in Cincinnati nope I know I can see some people recognize Lonnie Lonnie Anderson nope so I don't never heard of that one before Sanford and Son now for those that don't realize people that were big fans of Sanford and Son it's got Red Fox in who I do know because he's very famous stand-up comedian he in fact you could say he's someone that Richard Pryor was a fan of before Richard Pryor got into comedy he was a
big fan of Red Fox and the naughty comedy that he did well anyway Sanford and Son was a copy of a British comedy called Stepson and Son and it's a rag and bone man and it was Harold and his dad Harold was the young bloke and his dad was the old bloke and they both lived in this big yard full of rubbish basically that's what they do they just collect rubbish on a horse the back of a horse and cart and that started in I think it was in the 60s
that was on because it was black and white to start with and then they had it as colour and one of the it's like you dirty old man you dirty old man Harold you dirty old man you don't know what you've done okay it's not very good but it if you've never heard if you've never heard them speak before that was really good that was a really good impression if you do know Stepson and Son and you've seen it then I apologise Mary Tyler Moore Show I know that that was
huge in America I don't know whether it was ever on TV here I don't know I might have been a fan of it I genuinely don't know 1970 it started that was the year I was born right next is Columbo Columbo I love Columbo they used to be on on Sunday afternoons here and they made loads of them didn't they started in 1971 I don't know when it finished but I think it was around for a long time and yeah what should I do my impression of Columbo okay ma'am okay
okay goodbye just one thing ma'am was it you did you do it okay maybe that wasn't such a good impression oh this is another one I loved it was a comedy Taxi 1978 I used to watch Taxi loved Taxi it was just brilliant I'd watch it now that's one of the shows right out of all the shows I've looked at if they showed them on TV now I'd watch Happy Days out of interest I'd watch the ones that I'd not seen before just to see what they looked like not MASH because I don't know for some reason it just doesn't do it anymore Rockford Files probably not so much because I've seen that,
that has been on TV Stanford and Son I've watched a few episodes on YouTube so not so much bothered Mary Tyler Moore's show out of interest I'd have a look at that Columbo I've seen them all I think but Taxi so I'd watch Happy Days I'd definitely watch Taxi in fact I'd watch every episode from one right through the end because it was a great show and Danny DeVito he's just so funny he was an awful awful awful man in that show the Scooby-Doo show of course I watched that as
a kid six million dollar man so these are all American shows all American shows and I know most of them bearing in mind that we did produce our own shows in this country as well but the six million dollar man yeah of course I'd watch that love that Three's Company no never heard well I've heard of it but I've never never saw that I don't think I know who John Ritter is rest in peace he was in Hooper Man love that show that was in the late 80s I think maybe
early 90s right so then there's The Muppet Show also John Ritter played an android in Buffy the Vampire Slayer see how about that for a bit of trivia The Muppet Show 1974 onwards that was Saturday night viewing that was peak viewing in the UK I mean you'd have stuff like early evening we haven't come to those shows yet but early evening I mean you'd probably have happy days would be on like five o'clock but then you'd get to six million dollar man in my memory it always used to be on
midweek like maybe a Tuesday or Thursday The Muppet Show would be on a Saturday night I think possibly Sunday night but I think it was Saturday night around six o'clock maybe seven but before that The Dukes of Hazzard and then possibly The A-Team so they'd be back-to-back phenomenal amazing stuff or The Knight Rider so Dukes of Hazzard, The A-Team or Knight Rider Dukes of Hazzard Dukes of Hazzard I remember being on quite early Mork & Mindy's another one that used to be on quite early used to be on around about
a half five mark because the evenings used to start quite early on a Saturday like the family evening entertainment and back then there was only three channels in the seventies in this country there's no cable, there's no satellite or anything like that so Dukes of Hazzard I mentioned that, Bob Newhart's show it's a great show I just never got to see it here I used to have, is it Bob Newhart that used to do the the bit being on the telephone having telephone conversations on,
because he did albums and doing stand-up and he'd be having a conversation on the phone I think it was Bob Newhart, used to have some albums of his in the past, mind you most things were in the past what's next, Dukes of Hazzard, so I've covered that Dukes of Hazzard yee-haw, still to this day because you had Bo and you had Luke so Bo Duke, Luke Duke one of them went on to be Superman's dad in Smallville hey, remember that, anyone?
and they raced around, generally Daisy Luke, yep Daisy Luke, she was, they were all very popular in their own way and you got Boss Hog and there was the, I forget his name, there was Deacon Deputy Deacon and then there was another one one that was quite, a bit dippy also dippy but he was a bit more stern, but one of them was saying Ruskell Peter Trenn, or something like that and I could never understand what he was saying he'd answer like the CB radio's like Ruskell Peter Trenn,
I don't know that was, I never understood what he said, the Jeffersons no, never saw that, no never saw that Bonanza, blimey see this was 1959 but they were still showing this in the 80s in the UK, but they used to show it on a Sunday like Sunday morning, so I used to watch it used to be on a Sunday morning, because when this was out when they were showing this, Michael Landon had already, what did he do?
I know he did Highway to Heaven, what did he do before Highway to Heaven?
Michael Landon, oh, Little House on the Prairie so he was in three absolutely massive television shows and he was a star of two of them, like the main star Lorne Green was a star of Bonanza but Lorne Green, Michael Landon Little House on the Prairie in the early, in the 86, 87 time when I had my flat, our first flat 87, Little House on the Prairie used to be on on a Sunday morning Wordswell Gummidge was on as well, that was a UK program, Wordswell Gummidge Little House on the Prairie was on and I used to watch it do do do do,
do do do do do do do do, whatever, and all the kids would be running down the field and toppling over and stuff was that was that Little House on the Prairie tune or was that Last of the Summer Wine one of them, oh, Little House on the Prairie this is weird Little House on the Prairie but it's got a picture of the bloke from that's, that's unusual because it's got a picture that isn't isn't the people from Little House on the Prairie Based on Laura Ingalls Wilde's beloved book series Charles Michael Landon Caroline Karen Gressel,
Mary Laura, Melissa Gilbert Laura, she was in Roseanne wasn't she, Melissa Gilbert she was already a star, kind of but she was a child star and others Juniper but there's a picture there and it's the bloke with the beard that was in Highway to Heaven.
I'm gonna have to check this, I'm sorry Highway to Heaven because I don't remember him being in Little House on the Prairie I think they've made up a picture there, Victor French his name is Victor French he was in Little House on the Prairie so why is there a picture of Little House on the Prairie but it doesn't have Michael Landon on there who was, I don't think it's safe to say the star another show we used to watch and I think it was I remember they used to re-show it on Sundays in the late 80s or about 87 was, oh Big Ben, the bear what was the bear?
Ben? Mountain Ben? Beardy Goldilocks, Beardy, Beardy Man with the Bear oh oh my god, wow he passed away a year older than me in two years after I was watching him okay, I'll move away from there, I don't want to watch that I liked him oh no, have I lost a page? I've got too many pages open.
Best USA... oh no, damn you no, oh yes I've got it back Laverne and Shirley now I don't remember these are really famous shows that I remember the name of The Odd Couple Laverne and Shirley, Mary Tyler Moore show I remember the titles because they're part of I don't know part of history TV history like in America really big shows but I don't remember watching it apparently it's a spin-off from Happy Days what did they do in Happy Days then?
anyway so The Odd Couple, Barney Miller I used to watch Barney Miller, it was a detective show wasn't it? he was a grumsy grumpy yeah okay cool, I used to watch that I think on reruns we call them, here we call them repeats in the UK because they're being repeated welcome back Cotter, Gabe Kaplan I don't know, John Sylvester, nope I've never heard of that one maybe I watched it, I don't know but I've never heard of it I don't think so Starsky and Hutch, wow see that was 1975 did you know if you were in another country,
if you were in the UK and you're over 40 you'd know about this you might still know anyway but you know you'd remember it probably or over 50 or 70 so Starsky and Hutch was on I think that was I'm pretty sure it used to be on a Saturday night but late like 10 o'clock because it's quite adult do do do do do no that's a different one the tune I was just doing there was We Had Our Equivalent to your Starsky and Hutch or to the American Starsky and Hutch
we had the professionals which was two plain clove detectives and it was do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. That car would drive out of a building, like a big glass building.
It was good. I'm not sure I sold it to you, maybe I should tell you more. It was good, it was a similar, I don't know, a close friendship, it was gritty and you know funny and I didn't think they were anywhere similar though this I like Starsky and Hutch I like the professionals I didn't really see them as being the same kind of thing Charlie's Angels Charlie's Angels I believe used to be on midweek and I love Charlie's Angels and you know what there was a one Charlie's Angels that I didn't like I'm not talking about the shows I'm talking about the different replacements they kept
getting wasn't it Jacqueline Smith who's the only one that stayed all the way through and she was my favorite I just always liked him when I was a little kid I just loved commitment so Wonder Woman so Wonder Woman used to be on a Saturday probably about six o'clock so again that would be around the same kind of time as maybe after jigsaw hazard so maybe during the year when the A-Team wasn't on then maybe Wonder Woman would be on yep Mork & Mindy Mork & Mindy I used to love
Mork & Mindy Mork & Mindy used to be on the Saturday night or Saturday late afternoon about five o'clock half five because sometimes I'd miss it getting home from the cinema I remember one particular time I think I went to the went to see Superman 2 with my brother my oldest brother and it's quite a long all the Superman movies were quite long weren't they back two hours or whatever so we got home and missed Mork & Mindy but it was okay we were back in time to watch a six
million dollar man I remember saying to my brother look we missed Mork & Mindy he said yeah but you got to see Superman 2 I said yeah but I didn't get to see Mork & Mindy you got to see more you got to see Superman 2 what would you rather watch Superman 2 or Mork & Mindy I want to watch both you can't watch both you know we tried to get home in time but it's a fair walk and if you hadn't needed to go to the toilet and you hadn't
got all that popcorn stuck in your ears so you know we would have got back in time but we missed Mork & Mindy keep repeating it doesn't make it change there's just we missed it I know but you got to see Superman 2 that's you asked me to take you to see it and I did yeah true I also asked you to get back in time to watch Mork & Mindy you can I just can't just watch it when it comes back on telly well it's not on telly next week
but it's a different episode it's not the same I won't know what's happened so I won't I won't have that continuity you know same reason we didn't watch Superman 2 before watching Superman the first one you know they put bring things out numerically so Superman 3 will be after Superman 2 so that people have watched the first and second one first and then they watch the third one no one will want to watch the fourth one but you know that's besides the point it hasn't been made yet but just generally
I imagine so how am I supposed to enjoy watching Mork & Mindy next Saturday when I don't know what happened this Saturday hey what can I do to help build a time machine and take us back that'd be nice that was the end of the conversation he to be fair Dordy walked off at that point and the Hulk the Incredible Hulk another one that was on midweek I think or maybe oh maybe that was on Saturday nights don't make me angry was it don't make me angry you wouldn't like me
when I'm angry the thing that I noticed for the Incredible Hulk and kung-fu which were two of my favorite programs as a kid is there's always that ending where they're basically hitching walking on the side of the road on their own hitching for a incredible Bill Bixby you know as the little Hulk and kung-fu he was I mean admittedly he wasn't hitchhiking because there was no cars in them days but it's you know it's a similar kind of ending slow melancholy music as well okay what's here Adam 12 I've not
heard of that Quincy I've seen Quincy in the afternoons in the UK but I've never never watched it when it was out first of all Hawaii 5-0 do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do Because I know there's a new version to the show, but the original soundtrack for Hawaii 5-0 was amazing do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do There was waves.
I'm trying to get into the tune by imagining the waves. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do... Oh! I don't know Hawaii Five-O anyway. I used to watch that.
I loved it honestly. Loved Hawaii Five-O I think it was because of the scenery...you know...iif you're born If you lived in the UK or let's say in England and I mean it wasn't awful but it's a very grey country like there's a lot of grey weather throughout the year and it's sunny in the summer and stuff and we have sunny days as well in the winter and everything but to see I'd never seen blue sea I'd never seen tropical really before but on a regular basis I'd seen movies and stuff like that but Hawaii 5-0 is just beautiful scenery.
Chips wow I forgot about chips love chips that was a Saturday Night Viewing as well so these are these are shows I used to watch The Love Boat The Love Boat I remember that one The Love Boat The Love Boat I used to watch it anyway I loved it was it Love Island no Fantasy Island as well it's another one I used to love it's very similar very similar kind of thing because I don't know it's became I used to watch it I used to like it I Dream of Jeannie
now it was too late it was too I mean it's 1965 I used to watch it when I was a kid and I used to have it on I think BBC 2 about 6 o'clock if I got a chance I'd watch it it'd be one of those shows that would be on a bit like Star Trek the original series that'd be on like around 6 o'clock in late 70s maybe early 80s other shows like monkey there's a few few different shows that I'd have on that were like really old but
I used to love watching them Schoolhouse Rock no idea what that is Get Smart I used to watch that when it was on but I didn't it wasn't on when I was on but they used to show repeats I'd watch that Bionic Woman of course I watched it of course everybody in this country watched the Bionic Man the Bionic Woman Wonder Woman Dukes of Hazzard it's America American TV really had a huge a huge part of the TV viewing world for us I say for us but for the TV schedule
if I could get I might try and do that get hold of a TV guide from 1978 or 1979 and just just show you the TV shows that were on back then well 1980 the Partridge family I don't remember watching that to be honest I don't remember it being on TV here Saturday Night Live no we didn't have that here Fantasy Island yes now Saturday Night Live if it was on I never saw it it might have been on late I never saw it and although we did do our own
version Friday Night Live I think it was always did we do Saturday Night Live I think it's Friday Night Live and it was just basically trying to copy that one in the UK that's quite popular I think Jonathan Ross might have no it wasn't it was Ben Elton hosted it as I did stand-up comedians and Haylen Pace and Rick Mayall and a lot of the early alternative comedians were on there Fantasy Island love Fantasy Island they used to be Saturday Night Evening early evening entertainment 1978 I don't know how many
shows they did Good Times don't remember that one Tom and Jerry show yeah he's still watch that I tell you one that used to be prime time there was a Muppets of course the Muppets show but something used to be prime time was the Pink Panther I don't know if it was Saturday or Sunday but they used to show that oh hey the hey pink panther pink panther groovy groovy cat he's the one and only truly be painful the Waltons are I never watched the Waltons when it first came out
I don't know how long it went on for and that was it had a similarity to Little House on the Prairie really didn't it kind of I mean it was later in history Little House on the Prairie I think was based earlier on in in American history but the Waltons I used to watch that on a Sunday morning 1987 used to be on a Sunday morning I think it might have been on after Little House on a Prairie and I used to watch it every week just reruns you know or
repeats Hogan's Heroes don't remember seeing that soap I oh man I've gone well over time again you know what back in 1990 probably about 1992 maybe 93 I had a phase where I was getting up early because I decided I just had enough of waking up and just going straight to work so I thought you know I'm going to get up earlier and give myself a couple of hours before going to work to actually have some time so I'm not rushing about and you know I'm not just starting my day
putting stickers on bits of meat and whatever I used to do so I started waking up and getting up early like five o'clock in the morning so I used to start work at half seven so I was getting up at maybe sometimes four five I'll be very tired by the end of the day but didn't matter because it doesn't matter what time you go to if you get up early you go to bed early you know it's not like you're going to be going to bed at midnight if you're getting
up at four in the morning so I was working till I don't know half four half five half four half I don't know anyway there used to be these tv shows and I think it was on channel four might be on BBC two at this point we had four channels BBC one BBC two ITV and channel four yeah and then channel five arrived in 97 so show show show show show let me tell you more the I came over some shows of BBC two or channel four I don't remember and
I came across a tv show that I'd never seen before called soap and I tell you what I laughed more than I'd laughed for a long time when I was watching that it was just one of the funniest things I'd ever seen it's hard to explain it it's so I was sitting there I think I was eating my breakfast or I just had my breakfast having a cup of tea and I was just absolutely had a black and white portable television this is in the 90s you know colour tv has
been around about 100 years by then and it was just I couldn't believe what I was it was so funny so funny now I don't know whether or not soap was around in like Richard Mulligan it was because he used to be in another show I forget what it was but anyway so the I don't know if it was ever on any kind of peak time viewing in the UK like 77 when it came out it might have been on in the evening because it was I think quite adult so
it would have been on it later at night I never saw it but when I did see it like wow I didn't even realize it was making fun of soaps I suppose I did a little bit because by then I'd watched quite a few soaps during the 80s and yeah I'd seen a lot yeah I had so you know so I'm thinking I grew up watching Emmerdale even when I was in the kids home we used to crowd around the chairs around the television with the nuns and we would watch
Crossroads I think and then it'd be time for bed unless it was Emmerdale Farm I think it was Crossroads but it's and then we had Dallas and Falcon's Crest and Dynasty Dynasty and there's another one another American one oh I was just talking and he barked scared the hell out of me it was all quiet the chip van just turned up it sounds like metal scraping together there it's like a an ice cream van sound but almost like it's been made by the Terminator like that so he's heard it before
I have and he started barking and it made me jump because I was really into what I was talking about I was really sort of interested in this boring conversation anyway I forget what I was saying now damn you I wouldn't mind if he if he like growled and then started barking but just straight away like oh it really made me jump um yeah so we had soaps here so there was Emmerdale Farm which then became it became Emmerdale in the 80s was 60s 70s 60s onwards uh maybe 50s onwards
I don't know Coronation Street and then EastEnders started in mid 80s about 85 and then we had we've now got a few others like Hollyoaks and different ones and then the Australian ones came along now there's already yeah what do we have uh Neighbours and then Homing Away huge hugely successful in the UK hugely successful like I don't even know how to tell you how successful they were it turned Jason Donovan but any of the main stars of those shows became famous and because most of them were young and good
looking they ended up with uh recording deals as well and it's so popular and some of them still are really really popular now even now 50 years later so but what there wasn't there was other two other shows that I used to watch I think it was almost called Take the High Road and I think it was a Scottish soap opera but out of the Australian soaps there was always Prisoner Cell Block H I used to like watching that but the best one that I don't think got its credit due
because it was on in the afternoons so the general public you know that were working didn't get to see it but it was I personally think by far the best Australian soap I ever watched Sons and Daughters it was in a different league it was they knew how to do a cliffhanger they are Brookside I forgot about Brookside Brookside was a really big soap as well as started in the 80s early 80s so but okay Sons and Daughters I literally it kept me going I'd watch it in the afternoon and
I'd be hooked until the next afternoon to watch it again not knowing what's happened and very few shows got me like that it really like I got so into it it was great I mean I know that like Dallas had a obviously that was a huge one and like with JR and stuff but this they had okay it wasn't they were never that big in Home and Away not Home and Away in Sons and Daughters in a sense of you know it wasn't like a worldwide thing but they really knew
how to do a cliffhanger and nowadays they'll try and do a cliffhanger in a TV show and then they'll give you a clip of next week and you know the person that was you had no stand stranded in a desert on his own without any water the star and you see him sitting in a restaurant drinking tea and eating muffins it's like well he clearly got out of that so it wasn't it wasn't much of a cliffhanger really is it if you've just shown us that he's okay but then you
know then is the argument well if he wasn't okay there wouldn't be another episode would there it's like yeah but that's not the point the point is you know it's not but that is a point is this is number episode 5 of 12 what do you think is going to happen who do you think it's going to star in the other amounts i have to work it out i haven't got my calculator on me who do you think is going to star any others so he's like yeah but the cliffhanger
is supposed to be it's not okay it's not so much will he get out but how but you still don't know how he got out you know that he ends up drinking tea and eating muffins tickling a squirrel but other than that you don't know anymore that you don't know how he got out okay let's have a look if i've got any messages nothing now so i've got a neighbor that goes down and gets his chips every day fish and chips every every every week and it's a weird situation now
because i have to have vinnie in here with the front door the living room door closed otherwise he barks at everything and now we've got new neighbors he's barking a lot and it's just kind of he likes to be in the bedroom sometimes and just chilling out on the bed sometimes he likes to climb onto the windowsill and look outside as well and i feel like i like to have the door open the reason but you know why you know why because i spent most of my adult life until i
moved here living in one room and i know i guess i'm in one room and the bedroom's next door and the kitchen and the bathroom but it's something nice about having the door open because it reminds me that i'm not in one room when that door's closed i feel like i am just back in one room again and i don't know it takes something out of being in a in a flat a little bit and he wants to go into the other room he wants to go into the hallway and
shout at people through the door save me save he never feeds me he hasn't fed me for three minutes probably kind of things he'd shout out anyway so uh soap oh another one alice alice oh i fell in love with alice alice alice alice alice she worked at mel's diner i remember that even without even looking at it and mel was a bald bloke who was angry always shouting and and i used to watch um he used to be on any evening i think again on bbc2 just reruns repeats i
loved it i found it funny it's i just just like really really liked it a lot okay next is kojak never got to see kojak because it was on too late it was adult and i wasn't allowed to watch it i've seen it since on repeats but they have not shown it so much so i haven't seen many of them the beverly hillybillies never saw that i heard of it because famous but i never saw it gun smoke never saw that either but that was very 1955 early but i battle
star galactica 1978 yeah that was huge hugely popular over here yeah love that and then sesame street but it was on every day it was on every single day you know monday to friday about 11 o'clock or whatever in the in the morning uh it's a day going for another day down at fraggle rock okay blimey no it's the same it's the same company that makes fraggle rock uh sesame street uh no i'm just sesame welcome to sesame street here we come down to sesame street oh i can't remember sesame

here will you talk about willis absolutely he was a superstar gary colman a superstar in this country i think he was in america as well but he was yeah kung fu again saturday night viewing kung fu love that absolutely love that tv show i still do i'll always love it um and i think that all i wanted to be a kung fu master after watching that as well that's kind of what i wanted to be a master of kung fu never achieved it though rowan and i used to i used
to watch the fall guy and i wanted to be a a stunt man so i was very influenced by what i watched imagine what i wanted to do once the internet became available stuff i was watching there that's what i want to do for a living now i'm sorry you're not big enough okay fair enough benson benson because he was in soap playing the character benson so it was yeah very sarcastic butler is that the right word butler yeah he's a butler that was funny i used to like watching that
that used to be on in the evening in the week time so i'm watching that i watched that one while i was eating my dinner uh one day at a time nope don't know that one super friends nope dallas do i need to say anything about dallas anyone that knows dallas you know dallas you don't need me to mention it it was one of the most iconic tv shows of that kind of it it spread through late 70s to 80s even to 90s i don't remember how when it finished and
then it came back again as well didn't it but i remember watching it when it first came out late 70s and i remember in 1989 moving into a friend's flat into a room in his flat and watching dallas on tv in that room on a black and white tv and and it was it had oh it had jr ewing's son a like grown-up son in it and it was who then went on to do a tv show a sitcom with patrick duffy bobby ewing in the 90s fat albert and the
cosby kids no i've never ever seen that heard of it don't even see that buck rogers in the 25th century did you say buck rogers wow buck rogers man i love buck rogers i forgot about that that's one of my favorite all-time shows there's a lot of all-time great shows i remember i drew i spent about three hours drawing buck rogers i think we all had chicken pox at the time so it was snowing outside i was lying on the floor that's in the days where i could well not just
draw but also get up off the safely um without a crane so buck rogers i drew him and he had his had his white um costume on and stuff i think he's holding his helmet and his helmet in his hand and i took the picture i i drew the picture i spent ages i don't know if i colored it in or not i'm not sure um i mean i think i'm sure my brother said i think his helmet's white isn't it why have you done it red it's like don't worry
about it um like it doesn't matter does it it doesn't matter what what color his jeans are what kind of shoes are so yeah but the picture's there it's got the colors it's in color it's looking looking magazine it was so okay anyway and so i took it to my step-mom showed it to her i was so proud and she was really good at drawing like really good and she said who is that i said guess bear in mind buck rogers was our favorite show at the moment at the time

about five o'clock about half an hour or 20 minutes monty python's flying surface circus rubber no i never got to see that when it was on first of all i've seen it i didn't get to see that till probably oh late 80s when they were showing repeats night gallery nope never heard of that one dean martin show never saw that seen clips on YouTube of course i know who dean martin is the abc sunday night movie i don't know i don't think we had that here because we didn't have abc
land of the lost i don't know about that beretta eight is enough hong kong furry or hong kong pooey um yeah probably wouldn't be allowed on tv now but it was a kung fu dog and it used to be on if i remember rightly he would it was on saturday mornings with a cartoon section and it's very popular and he used to go and change in a filing cabinet so he'd jump into one filing cabinet drawer and he'd come out another one and he'd be dressed all in his hong kong
pooey um costume with his mask on and his uh gi you know stuff flip wilson show never saw that but flip wilson great comedian great comedian another hero of uh richard pryor as well i never saw it though uh i might have had one of his albums i'm not sure the sunnyshare homily out nope i've seen clips of that i think over the years mcleod i used to watch mcleod but again probably in the 90s sort of or the 80s or something like i can't remember much about it i do

the uk and that's faulty towers um i didn't discover faulty towers until um probably early 80s and still at that time the funniest thing i'd ever seen funniest tv show uh chico and the man i don't never saw that i know who's in it uh freddie prince i know very much about freddie prince and freddie prince jr is uh his son wasn't it a comedian and freddie prince was a big star in america uh for his short life and roots never never saw roots manics never saw that speedy buggy i

nope monday night football no because we didn't the midnight special no what's that the wolfman jack i've heard of him police women nope return to planet of the apes was that a tv show was it animation oh i don't remember that swat yogi's gang i probably did see yogi's gang yeah i did but that would be on a saturday morning with the with the cartoons trapper john md no i don't remember seeing that 2020 nope donny and mary nope that was donny as the osmonds but i didn't see that i
don't remember the new adventures of batman it was a cartoon so i probably would have watched that on a saturday morning as well nbc mystery movie no rhoda no i don't remember that marcus will be nope captain caveman and the teen angels i remember captain caveman because he used to shout captain cave man and the girls would say and the teen angels no they didn't but it was captain captain cave man so that used to be on a saturday morning as well i think the all new super friends that one
i don't know that one scooby-doo and scrappy-doo i mean i remember scrappy-doo blindly i felt sorry for scooby-doo because scrappy-doo became a star i don't care what anyone says you can argue all day long scrappy-doo was the star of that show as soon as scrappy-doo became part of the show he was a star that's it simple as because you got like what do you remember okay scooby-dooby-doo okay we remember that you know anyone around that time remember that but what about if i said what if i said uh okay it's
not a good example because if i said let me am let me am you'd say scrappy-doo but scooby-doo his catchphrase was scooby-doo so scrappy-doo catchphrase was scrappy-doo scrappy scrappy-doo or let me at him let me at him i'm scrappy-doo he didn't need to have his name in the catchphrase but then you could say well scooby-doo's also got the so that you know i guess he did have a few sounds doctor who makes it in america well that's good it was 114 so there's two british tv shows in the american top
150 uh lou grant i remember seeing that a bit i remember mighty mouse of course i watch mighty mouse and jekyll heckle and jekyll i don't remember heckle and jekyll but i remember mighty mouse mighty mouse that used to be on in the afternoons like after school time for school in the early 80s in this country i don't remember it being around before that maybe it was on during the saturday mornings and you got the white shower shadow rather i don't remember that nbc room 222 that looks intriguing but uh
i don't know what that was the show was for uh and this doesn't say anything about what it was about okay there's a bell i don't know why dick van dyke show don't remember seeing that but that was like the 50s when i was 71 star trek the animated series i don't remember that isn't that interesting the voices were from the actual star trek people the original captain kirk spock and uh doc they were the same people harland go globetroppers trotters that used to be saturday evening early evening and they'd
do all these tricks because they're about eight nine foot tall all of them and it was just something it's probably more in not more interesting because baseball not based basketball is never a big a thing in the uk really not not a big sport like on tv or anything but watching them do what they did was just you know and everyone had like basketball netball at school it was a thing but it just wasn't a big sport here and but it was amazing to see them do what they did has
the fall guy been on it yet i don't think it has is it jabber jaw is he telling me the great great ape show is ahead of the fall guy it doesn't make sense fbi the fbi archie bunkers place the man from atlantis oh man i was thinking about that the other day it says bobby ewing from dallas before he was bobby ewing he was the man from atlantis great show absolutely brilliant loved it used to be on a saturday evening as well not before dallas because dallas hadn't started yet

yeah i guess don genie genius animated thing the world's greatest super friends i missed out on that i don't remember that being a thing rich man poor man oh no don't remember that one laugh olympics uh nope don't remember that family no i claudius i think i might have seen i claudius i think i might have done load more okay load more i just realized what about the hulk have we ever mentioned the hulk the brady bunch ellery green blake seven so in america you got blake seven that was big
here but he used to be on midweek hmm midweek ish kind of time um okay i really like that then came bronson then came bronson wow that's so weird is it was it based on charles bronson that's weird i mean the bloke in the picture looks a bit like charles bronson phyllis upstairs downstairs see this just shows you it's 156 but just shows you that no philly calm yourself down you know dalton abbey dolt is it dalton abbey upton abbey whatever that i've had this little conversation with someone before i
said no it's not but it is hey shut up calm down good boy calm yourself down um is it upton abbey do you know the really popular tv show on Netflix i think it is what upstairs downstairs was the precursor to that as far as i'm concerned it was about a bunch of like a in a huge stately home and it's you know look at all these people living and looking after these rich people i mean downton abbey that's it downton abbey isn't that what downton abbey is really so next
up okay so that's it so they didn't have the fall guy oh it's saying here this the best sitcoms best sitcoms of the 70s all in the family so happy days a lot of them have already been seen so i'm not gonna go through it again blindly i used to love i dream of genie but i also used to love bewitched as well which i always found them to be of a similar quality um in a sense you know it was the same setup wasn't it one was a witch one
was a genie but then it was the bloke that they were with that was always like well don't we don't want anyone to find out that you're a witch or a genie and he was like straight laced and she the witch either the witch or the genie were like really bubbly and you know exuberant if that's a word huh sure you it's enough now okay okay right i clap my hands every time that he barks i clap my hands so i know when to edit i'm sure people in who can
hear outside think i'm slapping him or something which i'm not obviously then he calm down mate just keeps barking so i'm gonna go up it's q a friday tomorrow so i still need some questions from you if you're still awake to post them on my uh Facebook page jason's boring group but i'll post another thing tomorrow just to remind people maybe i'll do that tonight so thanks for listening please remember to be kind to yourself because you do deserve to be happy lots of love bye
