Yeah, but doesn't the Reading one have no nudity because they copied the V&A's photos that had been 'tidied up' for Victorian sensibilities?

Is it Norton Canes? Or Leigh Delamere? Or a bloke called Gordano?

There's something similar happening in my sister-in-law's village SW of Munich - 66 year-old man shot dead on his driveway on Friday evening, and literally no one knows why. Either it was a random pointless act of violence, or he was hiding a dark secret about himself. www.br.de/nachrichten/...

+1 for this - originally started by a US guy who wanted to understand the lyrics a little bit more, and then fleshed out with footnotes as he found out more info. They're the closest thing to Wikipedia entries as there's a lot of background info incorporated into them from other Fall fans.

Of course not a yellow Reliant Regal's first screen appearance...
A still from the film 'The Eagle Has Landed' (1976), showing a yellow Reliant Regal car from the 1970s incongruously in-shot, when the film is set during World War 2.

My favourite was the Bond Minicar - had the engine mounted over the front wheel which meant you could turn it 90 degrees and spin around in a circle (and park very easily).
A Bond Minicar three-wheeled car from the 1950s.

I'm not sure whether it's clicking plants after the eclipse, or the earth being knocked 11 degrees off its axis and us heading towards the sun at a rate of knots leading to the heatwave. But either way, yeah, we deserve it all.

Last time I thought about Old Spice was at Carl Orff's grave in about 1996. You see what I'm getting at!

Well, that's you, me and the OP that now have the words' Old Spice' jangling around; even if I tell someone else in negative terms, it still disseminates. I just wonder why people still think that Marketing has made an error, when what they've put out is designed to draw engagement.

And you just shared it. If ever there was an explanation of 'hit send and take the rest of the day off' this is exactly it. Marketing people use these ambiguous taglines precisely for the exposure they know they will garner.

There are reasons (black-face in the intros, plus other dubious moments, eg. the South Africa episode). I loved this exchange from a few years back (Graeme Garden I think is well aware of why The Goodies aren't repeated, in a way that Cleese is seemingly oblivious about Python).
Twitter exchange from 2022 between John Cleese and Graeme Garden. Cleese is asking why Monty Python hasn't been repeated on the BBC for twenty years, and Gardens' response is, 'Not shown for only 20 years? Luxury!', alluding to The goodies not having been shown for far longer, and to a punchline in Monty Python's 'Four Yorkshiremen' sketch (ironically written by another of The Goodies, Tim Brooke-Taylor).
