You're killing me, Roy! We'll probably never get to see any of it......the only thing we get over here are re-runs of 20 year old sitcoms such as "40 Something"! Happy holidays.......mary lou In a message dated 12/5/2009 12:09:53 P.M. Mountain Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Could I mention that BBC2 TV has a weekend celebrating the life and works of the brilliant Leeds playwright, Alan Bennett, marking his 75th birthday? I am currently watching a repeat of a documentary he made in 1988 called "Dinner at Noon", which is all about the Crown Hotel in Harrogate where I stayed last year. He has just mentioned Bettys and Brown & Muffs' store in Bradford. There are repeats of his "Talking Head" made-for-TV short plays - the one featuring the late and wonderful Thora Hird is brilliant. Tomorrow at 6.05 pm there is a lovely play which first appeared in 1972 in black and white, called "A Day Out". I remember seeing this almost 40 years ago and will be watching it avidly! I suspect this is the first time it's been seen since its first showing. It's set in Edwardian times before the First World War and is about a group of cyclists from Halifax going for a run to Bolton Abbey in the Yorkshire Dales.
