Looks like some of the TV companies are getting their act together. Also due out in the next few months are A Family At War (made about 1970---theme music taken from Vaughn Williams), The Singing Detective (squirm as you imagine yourself in Michael Gambon's position in a hospital bed, having ointment smeared all over his psoriasis-ridden body by Joanne Whalley in nurses uniform and rubber gloves) and Secret Army (will anyone be able to take this seriously after the merciless comical copy that was Allo Allo?). Oh, and the under-rated and rather strange A Very Peculiar Practice.

Now if only someone would release Tutti Frutti and GBH, I'd be a happy bunny.

No, Secret Army was by the same team behind Colditz, about the resistance in Belgium, with Bernard Hepton as Albert (or Rene). Fairly Secret Army was a spin-off from Reginald Perrin, with Geoffrey Palmer as his mad brother-in-law Jimmy.

APP had Davison, Graham Crowden and Barbara Flynn and a couple of degenerate nuns. Rather surreal.

I loved Chance In A Million---great idea, great leads, but no one at ITV with backbone enough to give it a chance.

Sorry, but One Summer must have passed me by. Hope someone else can help, Magoo.
