Some serious 'school photo faces' going on here...
That face your parents pull when you first bring your new girl or boyfriend home: 'so we can do homework together'...
When you don't know what Amazon Ring is and it starts talking to you...
The 'unexpected pull at the school disco' face...
"I just know you two are going to be best friends..."
"I... may have sold it on eBay?"
"I don't think we wanted to come in this pub..."
"That's yer dad for you son. Always thinking..."

Britain in the 1970s: Raleigh choppers, lumberjack jackets and Findus crispy pancakes for tea. And one magazine really summed up the spirit of '70s Britain for me...

This is the story of Look-In! #SaturdayThoughts Image
Children's TV reflected the British class system: the BBC was seen as worthy, educational and safe; ITV was considered brash, vulgar and rude. Some strict parents wouldn't even let their children watch the 'commercial' channel! ImageImage
However by the 1970s ITV children's programmes had really started to hit their stride. And unlike the prim BBC they weren't afraid to be subversive.

Noisy, crazy and often very funny they stated to hoover up viewers... ImageImageImageImage

Time once again for my occasional series "Women with great hair fleeing gothic houses!"

And today It's an open thread. Ask me anything you like about this popular pastime and I'll do my best to answer it below for the next hour.

Over to you...
One frequent question I'm asked is "do I need long hair to flee a gothic house?" The answer is no; many short-haired heroines have vacated gothic domiciles in the past. However most have worn evening gloves whilst doing it.
"Am I in the UK?" Yes I am.

"Do I own all these books?" Alas no. I have about 90 or so gothic romances but I have sold many more. I used to work in the book trade and these things went like hot cakes!

Happy #DoctorWhoDay everybody! The show is 57 years old today, and as this is a pulp account there really is only one way I can mark the occasion...

Let's look back at the New Adventures! #MondayMotivaton
In 1989 the BBC killed off #DoctorWho. The corporation said the series was being 'rested'; the fans suspected it was dead as an Adric. But an unlikely saviour emerged to carry Who through the wilderness years: Richard Branson.
Both Michael Grade and Jonathan Powell, BBC Directors in the 1980s, disliked Doctor Who. They felt it was outdated, violent and cheap-looking. Ratings were awful, exacerbated by terrible scheduling. Relations with producer John Nathan-Turner had also hit rock bottom.
