Hi Warren, Ian and others tuned into TV @WW .....
Amongst the anti-war shows, I loved M*A*S*H as it put
people against brainwashed robot warriors, in a situation
that was never really ressolved. Allan Alder made so
many commets, that today we even have copycat shows.

Only on for an hour, yet there was 23 hours of madness in
Korea for these people, and civilians.

How True, but then read the credits and see why it was that way.

You're right Warren, I don't know why we stopped, it was
a funny lull, perhaps out of rememberance for those who
died, I don't know. I remember M*A*S*H and 12 O'CLOCK HiGH
BLACK SHEEP and some Documentarys that ran, then also
SILENT SERVICE, some wonderful BBC productions, and then it
felloff leaving me to only research the shows.

I also saw Ian's posting about Benny Hill, and yeap, we
saw his show over here, and it was a weekly TV event for
my father and family to watch that one...
