  5. Stymied again!
  6. Sleepy John Estes Eric Idle Slow Drag Pavageau
  7. I have an American friend, now resident here, who recalls seeing the McCarthy hearings on television at the age of 11! She recalls that adults were riveted by it, yet unprepared to talk about it.

  11. Surname of Tony Fruscella: is the "c" pronounced like a "k" and not like an "s" or "ch"?

  16. Yes, Quatermass was riveting stuff for adolescents (which I presume you were at the time). I used to make a nuisance of myself going to a neighbour's house (not yet having a television set in my own home) in 1953 at the age of 13 to see the original six episodes - and I'm still with science fiction today!

  21. On a slightly different tack, my most unforgettable TV moment was seeing the drunken Brendan Behan, whom Malcolm Muggeridge was attempting to interview live on television in 1964, rise unsteadily to his feet and stagger out of the studio, muttering "Where's the gents?"
  22. Devon Malcolm Kent Larsen Darby and Joan
  23. He was a "he". Cosi Fanni Tutti was the "she"!
  24. Sir Plume Ma Rainey Aunty Rotter
