Then there's me ... never heard of Adam Faith ... or Budgie ...

From the early 70s. I wonder whether No.1 could find it bootleg on line?

Shall I ask him? Would we like it?

Remember, we like Graham Norton. No.1 likes Fawlty Towers ...

Thinking about it Sue.......stuff happened in that year......How do you know of him anyway?

Sheesh Janey....Graham Norton and Fawlty Towers?........Yuk Yuk and YUK!


I bought the box set hoping that my memory of him in it was as good as I thought.......I wasn't disappointed, which is more than can be said of The 'Rock Follies'. Now that was awful....even though I thought it was great at the time.

So ... that means we wouldn't like it, then? ;)

How about if I liked Doctor in the House? Same era, I think!

I still watch doctor in the house if it is on Gold, but as the years go by it is sooooo dated.......Budgie, in my opinion, still has what it takes......some of it is in black and White, but one forgets this as each episodes story twists and turns giving some of today's dramas a run for their money......Adam faith was as good an actor as he was a singer, in my opinion.

What do you want if you don't want money
What do you want if you don't want Gold
Tra la

YouTube will have him singing.....I think

What do you mean 'how do you know him anyway?' Just cos I'm in the 'Land Down Under' doesn't mean we don't know of these things:S We even have telly now although I hear you have telly in colour ;-)
