6th March, 2021.
I’ve got to admit, there’s one minor upside to lockdown.
The simple fact there’s a lot less traffic outside my window.
Which means I get to hear birdsong.
OK … it’s mostly a bird’s way of saying “Get off my bush!!”
But it’s still nice to hear!

Did I mention I’ve been watching The Strange World of Gurney Slade: the famously odd piece of TV from the early 1960s, starring Anthony Newley.
It’s worth a watch.
If — from no other reason, for a UK sci-fi fan — than to catch some of the recognisable faces!
And voices, now I think of it.
I caught episode three, last night.
John Bennett turns up as Napoleon.
Yes, before you ask: John Bennett of Li H’Sen Chang/The Talons of Weng Chiang fame.

And yes: that IS Fenella Fielding, the voice of the Village in The Prisoner, being a flirtatious cow.

And yes: the Girl at the Airfield in episode two is Anneka Wills: Polly, in Dr Who.

What can I tell you?
Except I’m expecting Bernie Winters to turn up …
Minus Schnorbitz, obviously …
