Go on then, Virny. Let's have it.


Sorry I don't have it any more. Then aged about seven, one of my cadets wanted a hurdy gurdy so I bought a kit and made it for him. It worked, but not very well I must admit.. I doubt it has survived.

What's next?

The Signalman - scroll down to number 7.


Thanks. Started.

Let's start at 20:28 to give HGV (Hurdy Gurdy Virny) a chance to sort herself out

Dezza Ezza? Of course. Brilliant in 'Brimstone & Treacle' among others

My not having seen much TV stuff might have something to do with us not having had a TV for a number of years.

Here’s the train. Don’t worry if you miss it. There’ll be another one along next month.

It;s the responsibility...no it isn't, it's the solitary confinement.

This posh guy's got the perfect voice for patronising the working class

Alone for hours in a signal box would have anybody dressing like CB.

Our Denham could wipe the floor with him.

I'll bet Dezza drinks an awful lot of Bovril.

For people with jobs like these, they really couldn’t invent Wordsearches quick enough

Is he thick? Does D E. look contented?

this one's a bit more interesting anyway. Probably because DE can act.

Maybe Dezza should ask for promotion to the GWR refreshment trolley service

And because Dickens can write.

He can. MRJ is not bad though. Just a bit single minded.

And, let's be honest, a tad self-indulgent.

No, it's more significant than that. And a lot darker.
