Apart from those tv shows already mentioned above, I also love Rosemary & Thyme. My favourite film, seen countless times, is The Full Monty. Contrary to popular belief, it’s nothing to do with the stripping! I just love the camaraderie between the men and the different personalities and stories they all have. Plus, it’s set in Yorkshire. What’s not to like?
I also find myself watching films like Pretty Woman or Die Hard again and again if I happen upon them by accident. My favourite old film is Geordie where the wee boy grows up to be a huge hammer thrower (Bill Travers) and competes in the olympics. But the winner has to be White Christmas, which I’ve seen every year since I was knee high (and I’m now 68). As a child, the first thing I did when we got the Christmas edition of the Radio Times was to look and see when it was on tv. No videos or recording anything in those far-off days!
