He was indeed!!

When I watched as a teenage girl when it was first aired I was ‘in love’ with Keith Drinkel
But over 50 years on … I cannot believe I was
If I had the chance again to cut photos out of TV Times it would be John P for me!!

All the story lines remain so vivid in my memory … it truly set me on my journey of studying social history
This and USDS. Two ever green social history TV programmes … unlikely so see their like again
Oh, and Jewel in the Crown of course. Likely one of the greatest series ever made EVER!
Am I allowed to mention other programmes on this thread? Sorry if not and it will not happen again!!

Bye for now everyone

PS My sister has chosen the theme tune for her funeral … yes FAW has that kind of effect on some people!!

PPS Tomorrow I will be guiding around Foulden Road in Stoke Newington/Dalston in North London where Alexander Baron, who wrote 
several of the episodes, lived as a child and when when returned from war.  Everything links up!!
