It may still have been filmed "as live" in the early to mid 80's Mike, but I can assure you there was nothing embarrassing about the programme at that time! It...

Too add to those, I suppose because its a bit sketchy, we should ask him why he turned up in episode 86, in March 1965. See if we can get some early storylines...
