  My memory of the big gorrila at Haw Par Villa is blank.It is strange how the brain works when we tend to not recall the things so common such as 'King Kong'

  BBC comedies were excellent..

  does anyone remember this exuberant old dude called Magnus Pike in "Don't Ask Me" which was this wonderfully insane science series..

  he was one of the professors who was in there along with botanist David Bellamy and Miriam Stoppard, MD...
