I was born in the wrong decade
I've been saying this for years now, but sometimes I honestly wish I was born in the fifties. Not because it was such a great decade, but so I could have been a teenager/child in the sixties and watched all the old shows I love. Like the original Doctor Who and The Monkees and other such great TV shows. Just to have been around when these things were new. I could have watched the missing episodes of Doctor Who and possibly seen The Monkees live (they did come to England) I know that thanks to DVD's I can watch these shows when I like, unlike back in the day when they hardly ever repeated anything, but I'm still sad that I'll never get to experience the start of my favourite old shows.
What got me thinking about this ws the radio today when they had Kenneth Cope on the Steve Wright show. Such a funny interview. I used to love watching Randall and Hopkirk when I was younger and would love to get it on DVD. And I also remember him from a cuople of the Carry On movies.
I love sixties and seventies shows, half my DVD collection consist of shows from those eras (and the eighties.)
It's a good thing in some ways that I work with a lot of middle age men. They know who I'm talking about when I mention actors from old shows. When certain other people saw me getting excited over an interview with Kenneth Cope, they just looked at me funny.
That's one thing I do like about radio 2. They interview all sorts of people.
