Cast of Fawlty Towers

Playlist by Algernon

As with the others these featured as Top 100 songs somewhere. Division 4 was a police “drama” which finished production in 1975. Interestingly the final episode was shown in Sydney in September 1975 and in Melbourne where it was produced in February of 1976! As for Fawlty Towers I could have put any amount of clips here and I’d still be rolling around on the floor.

Aunty Jack Show

Playlist by Algernon

Continuing on with last weeks theme I’ve found some more tunes which spent time in the top 100 in their respective years.  The television programs were seen as confronting at the time. “Are you being serve” was a master of the double entendre though no pussy jokes in this one. The advertisement here is not meant to be political statement. I can’t recall any election advert in the past 40 odd years but I remember this one.

I heard this week that Waz will be away for a little while, so I thought I might put a little collection.

Today I’ve been up;  not quite kickin’ arse and takin’ names. Apparently they’re worried about diminished aerobic capacity so I’ve been on the treadmill. Nothing too strenuous, a brisk walk sort of thing. I couldn’t do it without a soundtrack. This list is the result. Sequencer tracks are good for any repetitious activity. (13/8/2011)
