had a flash back of a an old tv series this morning and knew exactly which 2 606ers could do a remake..............
"Never the Twain"
Never the Twain was a British sitcom produced by Thames Television, created by Johnnie Mortimer and starring JULES as Oliver Smallbridge and HURLOCK as Simon Peel. The pair were next-door neighbours and rival antique dealers engaged in continuous one-upmanship. It was originally broadcast from 1981 to 1991, producing 67 thirty-minute episodes. Currently it is being repeated on ITV3.

Nice! What about that TV show 'Zzzap'? Used to be on ITV after school, had The Handymen, Daisy Dares You, all that stuff?  Who among 606 would play the various characters? Cuthbert Lily ("He's dead silly") Cuthbert Lilly has appeared in every episode. Cuthbert's scenes are always a slapstick comedy, where Cuthbert fails to perform some activity. His trademarks are to put his thumbs up at the end of each sketch, and his teddy bear. A running gag throughout the series showed Cuthbert reaching out and taking the comic book frame from the edges of the screen, and throwing it away. Smarty ArtySmart Arty was a caricatured French painter, played by Neil Buchanan. His trademark is to blow the audience kisses at the beginning and at the end of every scene. Every Smart Arty sketch begins with him painting the same picture. He skips and jumps as he walks to the wall to do drawings. The HandymenThe Handymen are in fact two gloved hands; one yellow and one blue. The Handymen sketches are performed in a theatre with an audience composed entirely of hands. The Handymen appear on stage, either making an object or performing a magic trick. Whenever the Handymen used some kind of object, there would be a cardboard sign attached to it, saying what the object was. Daisy DaresDaisy wore yellow and black checks, and was supposedly a young, cheeky schoolgirl in dungarees. She also had ponytails at either side of her head. Daisy would set difficult challenges for a small group of children (picked from local schools). If the children succeeded in performing the challenge, Daisy would have to perform it herself (and would invariably fail and start to cry). |
