I know wasn't it great? Although it took me about ten minutes of watching before I realised!
JRT and the Stone Roses two of my favourite things. Worth staying in on a Saturday night for I tell you.
I might write a letter to Points of View and say 'I am not sure who that charming young man was but we really must hear more of his voiceover work on the BBC. Top notch. ours faithfully Miss Higgington-Foxbotham'

On no! I missed it. I didn't know JRT was going to be the narrator on this programme. When I saw it in the TV guide, I though, 'ooh, that looks interesting, I must watch that', but didn't.......doh! I have set up a reminder with TV Genius in case it repeated on BBC again
They never say in advance who the narrators are, except maybe Radio Times does? I think with the amount of voiceover and radio work that JRT and SM seem to be doing I might start buying it and reading it from cover to cover!
What's TV Genius? That sounds pretty cool too.

It's a great little site. You can search for what you want to watch and it will tell when it is on and dates of any repeats. You can set up a reminder so it will email you on the morning a particular show is showing. For example, I set up a reminder for "Imagine" as it seems to be on again, hopefully, they will show the one with the GW clips again. Or has already been repeated?
I only caught the last 10 mins of the programme but it was good to hear JRT

gw_pickles, thanks for that it looks a great site.
BUT possible news? I typed 'Green Wing' in there, and got this message:
Green Wing This show is not showing on any UK TV channels before Tuesday 27th June, but the TV Genius will know when this shows next comes on TV. Remind Me! Last shown on Monday 22nd May on More4
Does this mean it will be repeated at the end of the month?????

Digiguide is also extremely good, it's a little program that does everything, colour code by actor, downloads listings, e-mails, lists your favourite tv shows and all sorts of fancy stuff.
It costs about £5 a year and it's the best program on my computer by far...

Hi heatherbee. I think they only have the schedules up until the 27th June. At least if we sign up for a reminder, we will know when the repeats will be...or even the last episode!

I'm soooo sorry to reprise the role of pedant-lady once more but its dulcet...dulcet tones... I know I know get a life blah blah I hear you... I only realised it was jrt at the end of the programme...it had great music though...

I know what you mean about the music...I had to dust down the tunes and have a bit of a time-warp back to that period in time - Voodoo Ray, Soul 2 Soul, Stone Roses, Blur (before they went mainstream, Shamen (as Blur) etc etc - 1989 and 1990 were great years for music...those were the heady days of A-levels/drinking dodgy cider blah blah...
Dress sense was soooo bad though, at least I can hold my hand up and say I never bought or wore a pair of dungarees out clubbing - or anywhere else for that matter!!!..
"I may be many things, but not being indiscreet isn't one of them"
Heh heh, I remember seeing Blur play in Bristol in 1990 or 1991, supported by the Moonflowers, at least one of whom was completely naked. Happy days.
I don't remember the clothes being too bad, though, in fact I've been trying to track down the two pairs of Converse boots that I used to wear in those days...I'm sure there's still some wear in them if I can find them!
i was totally gutted to have missed it cos i had the last ten mins on waiting for QI but i wasnt really listening cos i was only a year old in 1989 so i didnt think it would really interest me, then i saw jrts name at the end and i was like, why didnt i listen?
you no how the summer of.. is a series and its 1997 next week, does anyone no if jrts doing that one as well, or not?
