The top rated TV show was Coronation Street (Granada) and the box office smash was The Sound of Music. We are also home to the Bridewell Theatre, which has been providing a unique space for the performing arts since 1993.

It`s a lovely sunny day here but tomorrow is meant to be like the winter of 1963, never to be forgotten. Intellivision It was an Atari world back in the late 70s and early 80s, but Mattel’s Intellivison staged a pretty good coup. Maybe that’s why a decade or so later I was pretty good as the “stone sub” on a real newspaper, being able to read what it said in the galleys upside-down and back-to-front.

I seem to remember getting hugely frustrated at having to remember to set the words backwards, and they would ping out of the tweezers while you were trying to push them into the holder. A foam-rubber ink pad with non-toxic, water-based ink was supplied, so the results cannot have been very satisfactory.
