The episodes: Episodes 5 and 6 (1981 version) The date: Wednesday, March 15th, 2023 The time: 7.45pm and 8.15pm UK time respectively It's a while since I watched this, and it's been truly excellent, as well as rather chilling in places. Let's see if the final two episodes are as strong as the previous four. Links: Episode 5: https://archive.org/details/robertkiy...ode+05.avi Episode 6: https://archive.org/details/robertkiy...ode+06.avi Vote Og.

I realise it's a windy day, but has anyone else noticed the bushes moving more than they usually do recently?

Hi, TT. Yes, our bushes move a lot, but then there are deer somewhere around...it might just be them. How's things?

Episode 5 is only 27 minutes long, so we'll stick to starting Episode 5 at 1945 and Episode 6 at 2015.

Hi. Just waiting for my other computer to load up to watch. Would it help if we start episode 6 at 20.20 instead of 20.15? We can do that. Vote Og.

Where are the people who were blind before? They would be a lot better off than most.

My cat is giving me grief because, having not spent the day stroking her, I am still not stroking her. |

When you can't feed those who you have, why be so determined to breed, breed, breed, and insist on reducing women to sprogging machines? |
