How Not To Live Your Life

After an absence of over a year, How Not To Live Your Life returned for an hour long Christmas special which is also the final episode of the show. One of the better sitcoms of the past 5 years. Funny, but hardly a classic.....me thinks.

It stars Anna Friel in the lead role as school teacher Ellie Manning, a wife who is devastated to learn her husband died in a horrific car accident with a mystery woman in the passenger seat.
Stricken with grief and refusing to believe her husband is having an affair, Ellie sets out to find the truth of who the mystery woman is, and why she was in the car.
Without You is a taut and emotional thriller, directed by Tim Fywell (Waking the Dead) and produced by Nigel Marchant (The Suspicions of Mr Whicher, Downton Abbey).

Once Upon A Time In The North + The Ritz

From the box of video tapes labeled 'rare old Northern comedy':


Once Upon A Time In The North was a 1994 sitcom written by Tim Firth (All Quiet On The Preston Front, The Flint Street Nativity, Border Cafe, Calendar Girls, King Of Fridges) starring Bernard Hill (Fox, Boys From The Blackstuff, Lipstick On Your Collar, Titanic, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Sunshine, Five Days), Susan McArdle (Early Doors), Christine Moore and Bryan Pringle (The Dustbinmen, The Pallisers, Growing Pains of PC Penrose, Auf Wiedersehen Pet, Wish Me Luck, A Prince Among Men).


The Ritz was a 1987 comedy-drama (50-min. eps) with Andrew Dunn (dinnerladies) and Julia Ford (All About George, The Street, Shameless).

Pan Am - Disc 1

Pan Am is a Hollywood period drama also currently airing in Canada, the UK and Ireland. Reportedly, this is returning next year for 5 more episodes. I'll admit this type of stuff isn't really my thing, but in checking it out I couldn't help but immediately notice how they do up the female actors somewhat realistically, but the male actors all look like they're 18 and have contemporary hair styles. Sorry, but 45 years ago Pan Am didn't have teenagers piloting their jets and they didn't look like they just walked out of a trendy West Hollywood hot spot with their entourage....which sort of gives it the look of a comedy sketch-show spoof.

Till Death Us Do Part update

Till Death Us Do Part has been updated with episodes once missing. I believe that with the exception of the 2 minutes of surviving footage from the 1965 Comedy Playhouse pilot, they are all found on Disc 2.
Some episode guides will show that more of the older 60's shows still exist, but they are only snippets and not complete episodes....with the exception of The Phone which exists as a very crude vintage home recording.
