New DVD release - Garry Shandlings Show
Before the internet, before reality TV, what television series was more humourous and with more vision than "Its Garry Shandling's Show".

Instead he took a chance of an offer from fledgling network Showtime to create his own television series.

From its unforgettable theme song to its closing credits, "It's Garry Shandling's Show" was award winning, mind bending television for 4 seasons and its influence is clearly seen in the best TV comedies through the decades to follow.

Enjoy all 16 episodes from the first of four seasons of this much loved classic on DVD March 22nd 2010. To pre-order now: Click Here!

News: Bring Back Fish 'n Chips
Posted by: ColonelK on Sunday, March 15, 2009 - 07:53 AM

News of things from the 80s While all the uncool kids were eating crisps in the 80s, all us cool kids were eating Fish 'n Chips. They were small biscuitty things in the shape of chips and fish, and they were the best tasting thing ever.

People who I talk to regularly all agree that Fish 'n Chips were one of the best foods of the 80s, along with Flying Saucers, Roast Beef Monster Munch and Wham bars.

Burton's, who made them, said they no longer produce them which is a shame. Luckily, a facebook group has emerged to help fight the cause.

News: Jim Bowen Interview
Posted by: ColonelK on Monday, November 17, 2008 - 03:10 AM

News of things from the 80s Jim Bowen! The legend of 80s TV! He let me interview him!!!!

Those of you who know me in real life will remember the story behind what initially happened. Luckily, when I eventually phoned him to apologise a month later, Jim had no recollection. In fact, he seemed glad I had phoned!

There and then he kindly gave me about 20 minutes of his own time, to talk openly about his life. I was wonderfully unprepared, and I'm sure this shines through. Think of my incompetence as a feature, not a flaw.

But a massive thanks to Jim for his time, his openness, his honesty and his failure to remember what I did the month prior.

News: Sir Michael Parkinson!
Posted by: ColonelK on Tuesday, September 30, 2008 - 02:57 PM

News of things from the 80s Sir Michael Parkinson, king of the 80s chat, is pleased to announce an exciting and innovative joint venture with Warner Bros. Records / Reprise Records that includes a series of Parkinson compilation albums and the development of his own official website - www.MichaelParkinson.tv.

"Visitors to the site will be able to access my weekly blog where I'll give them my latest news, tell them about the films I've seen, the books I'm reading, the television I love and loathe, my thoughts about the stories making the news and a few observations about sport! There'll be a web store where you can buy the autobiography and CD, a comprehensive archive of highlights from the Parkinson TV show and lots more."

'My Life in Music' will be released on Reprise Records, the label founded by the man Parkinson calls his "greatest entertainer", the legendary Frank Sinatra, as well as home to one of his favourite contemporary artists Michael Bublé. The album's 40 tracks, hand picked by Parkinson, feature the crème de la crème of jazz and classical songs from some of the most respected artists in the business, including Bublé, Nat King Cole, Paul Simon, Elton John and of course Frank Sinatra. The Sinatra tracks are a particular coup as they are very rarely licensed to be used in compilations.
