I wonder if Cathy's training film taught anything other than soft Spam sells. Maybe we could induce Nursey to do a video for PennyMachines?? !OMFG!

PS. Hit again by the SPAM program. The deleted word was "p-o-r-n." I'm going to put myself in detention now.

It should already be on iplayer 13rebel, as this was the second time this episode of BH has been broadcast - although that is not unusual for the BBC these days. !!JUNK!!

It's been a while since we talked about John Gresham.
There is a mention of this video on here, but I couldn't find a link to it, so here is one for those who haven't seen it before.
Magpie was so much cooler than Blue Peter.

A nice-looking slot machine, is it Watling? I wonder if he played it in the movie and if the clip is available?
EDIT-: he does play the machine but not very clearly (Men o War part 1, 11min 30 seconds into the film available on youtube)

This may be on the forum already, but I've not come across it, thank god the blueprints for the "coin-op supermarket" never came to reality

Previously posted here, together with a bunch of other Pathé coin-op stuff, but if Pathé take it down, youtube will serve...
