Re: Will the nation cope with this dramatic news
I remember the walls moving in Crossroads if anyone touched them!I liked "Take The High Road".
As for our soaps, I think they've run out of ideas, I only watch Emmerdale which might as well be a crime drama. It seems that the soaps copy each other's plots even use the same names for characters, as if there aren't enough names to choose from.
Time to scrap the lot and start afresh. Although there seems to be odd tastes in what's entertainment these days.

It looks like I'm going to have to let that one go.
I think you can watch series one here. Series too didn't survive.

Having spent more than a few idle moments looking up old pop songs on YouTube in the past, John Leyton's slightly eerie song is quite familiar. I'll have to check out the IMDb link.
Incidentally, for those who have any interest in such things, Johnny Remember Me was eventually covered by The Meteors in their own upbeat psychobilly style.
I wish I still had my 7inch vinyl copy, it was a picture cover too.
Cracking stuff!

I refuse to be blackmailed into this so now give this publication the elbow unless it's a link on OFF, then I often take a chance but usually no luck. Before online newspapers I bought this newspaper for decades as it carried many job vacancies for the printing trade. Now though the AdBlocker (free version) on my Mac laptop stays firmly on. This is the same for any publication or other website that pulls this stunt.
Just Saying...
