NB The Good Life was retitled The Good Neighbors in the US.

Mr. Berry is a wonderful musician in his own right whose tasty compositions also feature a good dollop of humor. I highly recommend “Kill the Wolf” and “Witchazel.”

An intresting list. But the open university? I remember that but … it actually used to scare people! Didn’t scare me though PIFs used to, but that’s anothe story.

quote from the website I linked to: "…The other one that scared me was the Open University one from the 70’s which I used to catch when up early on a saturday waiting for the kids TV. It was that sort of shield shape with a circle cut out. Scary. And that horn music which would always start after aeons of silence and when I least expected it. Double scary. "

No Sandbaggers? Blah.

Oh, come on. It wasn’t the logo or the theme, it was what the presenters/lecturers were wearing.
