anniversary 35

hi there


it may be possible, look you see, that you are sat on 30 March 2020 contemplating what you might have watched on the television some 35 years ago, or if you like 30 March 1985. should this be so then apparently you are not alone.

by no means is this an exhaustive or conclusive answer to such speculation, and indeed only covers those who are wondering so for the main commercial television channel in the uk. at the least, the main one at the time, for now we have several.

as you can see, it was quite a different time, with meddling with things such as sorcery and the rather dangerous dark arts of prophecy and soothsaying being seen as perfectly acceptable forms of early evening light entertainment.

no, i do not recall the zodiac game at all, but it does look rather interesting. as tom o'connor was regarded as the face of all which is safe and wholesome in terms of life and entertainment, it can be little wonder that he was used to lure a formidable range of a list celebrities in to dabble with the unknown that should remain not known to mortals.

indeed, yes, that is a weirdly specific commencement of broadcasting time. so little was happening in the world at this stage, it seems, that the main evening news was only given 2 minutes of time, presumably to confirm that all was as it was and should be.

for those who remained tuned in after the zodiac game, which is to say those who did not become seduced by the meddling of tom o'connor with tales of the future and so set out to experiment with tarot cards, ouija boards and similar, there was the spectacle of the fall guy to sit and watch. or stand and watch, i suppose, if that is how you preferred to do it. maybe lay on the couch, or in bed, for by this time the idea of having tv sets in bedrooms was starting to be common.

perhaps the most interesting aspect of this listing is the great emphasis placed on how both Lee Majors and Douglas Barr feature in it. they are, as you can clearly see, listed just below the name of the show, just above the title of the particular episode, and then again below, with the final listing giving every confirmation that they are playing the characters in the show which they are most commonly associated with playing. i am not sure if people would, in any great number, have not tuned in without such confirmation.

no, for the sake of clarity, this episode is not the one which a claim was made that vernon wells was in, but turned out that he was not. for more information on that particular one, please click here to read whatever information i could find on it.




be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
