Cheers Jessica. I read thru all the clues and used to watch some Coronation Street many decades ago.

I loved " Till death us do part" with Alf Garnett the arch bigot. He loved the Queen tho! I loved many of the old British comedy series. "Her indoors"..... , "Alfred!"... "Benny Hill", ...."The Bill" I watched every week with my old Dad, ... " Dad's Army", ...

Ok, I'll have a turn if that's ok. I'm in the midst of a heat wave now so I'll be indoors for the duration. It was 42C today in my suburb and a bit humid too.


I'm thinking of a person who is now dead, but we all most likely know this famous person from especially the sixties and seventies .... and on ...

I loved Benny Hill too
I've watched a few episodes of The Bill but prefer London's Burning.

Temps of 42 and I would refuse to go to work!
