Doug Kenney's delivery of that line is unexpected, perfectly timed, and spot on. It's brilliant. Posts: 2008 | From: Dixieland | Registered: Oct 2008 | Site Updates: 0

Children Of The Stones, 1977. British made television series about strange events that happen around a stone circle. Very menacing for a kids show. Stars Gareth Thomas ( pre Blakes 7 Blake) and Iain Cuthbertson (Budgie). Bit dated now, but scared the bejaysus out of me, as a ten year old. Sort of childrens alternative to The Wicker Man.

Bought this the other year on a whim and really enjoyed it. It really is pretty crazy for a kids show lol

Glad you liked it Helen. Filmed at Avebury in Wiltshire if you are passing !!!
Just watching The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer. Stars Peter Cook and plethora of British acting talent. Michael Rimmer (Cook) joins an opinion poll company in a mysterious capacity, a silent and malevolent observer of what goes on. In this he's not a million miles from Bedazzled's George Spiggott, but in 'The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer' the targets are clear - big business, local government, the parliamentary parties, democracy itself.
As Rimmer gains more and more personal power, we see a Britain decaying at the seams in a sea of corruption - from the dim humbug makers with their sexy ad campaign to the would-be PM with planted questions at party conference. Supporting roles are judged well (Denholm Elliott, John Cleese, Arthur Lowe, Ronald Fraser in particular), while Cook himself looks the part, smirking and smart-suited, interfering in a cosy world of middle-aged execs and politics in need of a shake.
There's a lot going on here in a Britain stood still - and it makes for a very entertaining film. 1970.

I was looking at The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer--it's a made-on-demand Warner Brothers Archive DVD here in the U.S--and was thinking that is a rare 70s Brit comedy with a post-Python Cleese that I haven't seen. I have to check it out.

Great cast there, Harry. I am hot and cold on Anderson's series--I like "...if," love "O Lucky Man," and hate "Brittania Hospital." It sounds like it is in the vein of "I'll Never Forget What'sisname," which I love.
