Tiswas (1974)
Tiswas and O.T.T.
I enjoyed watching Tiswas, but felt that O.T.T. was unfairly treated. Tiswas was a great programme and I don't care what people say about Dick and Dom, you cannot compare it to Tiswas. The thing about Tiswas is it had few if any rules, which is what made it so great. I cannot in a million years imagine Dick and Dom grabbing kids and pulling them from behind the desk by their ears, within five minutes it would be taken off the air. Tiswas is a classic children's show and will never be repeated or bettered by Dick and Dom or anyone. I can say this because, the world has become so stupid, what with political correctness and various other things. Half the things done on Tiswas were just great fun, now they would be close to child abuse. Tiswas was a reflection of how the world of Saturday morning kids TV should have stayed, if it hadn't been for political correctness idiots and people who watch programmes so they can write in and complain about them hence (O.T.T.) It was Tiswas, with semi naked ladies, if you knock O.T.T. your knocking Tiswas
Saturday Stayback (1983)
Pre-Recorded OTT
Great opening credits sung by Roy Wood showing people trying to get into a pub. I personally did not think it was as good as OTT. Not live and pre - recorded in a different pub each week, varying members of the cast hung around the bar doing different sketches. It had its merits with bands like Thin Lizzy, Chas and Dave and Rocky Sharpe and the replays, playing in a small pub and Jim Bowen telling jokes. This is probably what OTT would have been if it wasn't live, and this is what I think let it down. Stayback was centered more on the adult late night show, it could be argued that OTT was more an adult version of Tiswas, as the custard pie element was still there and the anarchy of Tiswas. Chris once said in a Tiswas magazine that Tiswas would not work if it was pre-recorded and I don't think OTT would have lasted 13 episodes if it had been, and this is what I think led to the demise of Stayback.
The Blair Witch Project (1999)
Absolute Trash
This has to be the crappiest film i have ever seen, and i have seen some bad ones. You are meant to believe that this is a real film showing documentary footage. The film is so badly shot it is impossible to make out what is going on. How it got the tagline a Horror film i will never know. The makers of this film should be ashamed to give this film the tag of Horror film. Maybe very badly made drama. If you can manage to stay awake until the end, the ending is as unclear as the start. I assume this got a 15 because of the swear words, i am sure it never got a 15 as a scary film. I know there is a Blair witch two but please, spare us Blair witch 3
Never Say Never Again (1983)
Best Bond Movie
Great Bond Movie. Still people say that this is not a real Bond movie and that there is only 19 movies where there is actually 20. Great plot, i think people don't like it because it was not made by MGM. If MGM had made it it would have got better reviews. Must see film
OTT (1982)
Best Comedy ever made
In my opinion it was the funniest show I ever saw with the likes of beat your brains out and the bare balloon dancers. Probably one of the funniest moments for me was the pre credit sequence at the start of episode 4 when they had a Tennis violence match and they all had to try and commit the most violent act on the umpire in order to gain a higher fine. Helen Atkinson Wood was an American using four letter words and Lenny, who Chris Tarrant referred to as a six foot nig nog threw grenades at him. Finally Bob Carolgees tried everything, but when he failed he finally gave in and mooned Chris. Then it all ended when Alexi Sayle pulled out a Bazooka to blow up Chris, who finally said in a very weak voice, new balls please.
