RBWTV July 7th 2024 Legs & Co (shows that stand the test of time)
Now that Guy's back from his mission behind the Iron Curtain/former Austro-Hungarian Empire, we relax back on the li-lo and drift through the calm reassuring lagoon that is the classic television which flitted across the black and white screens of the UK from the Suez Crisis of 1956 until 1974's three day week.
In this episode:
Legs & Co (not those ones). Dave ponders on what gives TV series "legs" or longevity. Why do shows such as The Avengers (silly question), Dad's Army, Rupert Davies' Maigret and Steptoe and Son keep attracting viewers? And are there any others out there that deserve dusting off and showing again?
Guy wonders who our classic screen characters might have voted for in the recent General Election.
Plus, who can sing along with the theme from The Flashing Blade?
