They arent that smart

Id rather watch Pointless then eggheads

No they so bloody pompous though !

Thats It! Smug basterds.

Barry Foster? Must be English? Hmmm. I really dunno. Name means nowt to me. PASS.

Living in NL, I missed so much UK TV (ITV Channel 4 etc) for the last 25 years. Anything before that and Im hot Poopie.

Now yer gonna tell me it was from that era and is American... Or are you?

It ran 1972-73 , 77 then came back 1991-92 , Foster was english but the show was set in another country

Man! So no excuse then Gibbo. Can I phone a friend? Not for the answer, just need to talk.

Maybe its Aussie? Hmmm.

No , his rank was Commissaris does that help ?

is he dutch?

yes

Oh for phhoksake! Commisaris.

Van Der Valk.

One of my fav detective series of all time. He was quirky. I would never have tied it to the name though. So tanks for helpin an aul Dutch-Paddy out.

For shame Gibbo. For shame!

Nice one K.

Your welcome

What was the first new No 1 of the 70s?

Hit Single In the UK.

i think i know this in fact i have the single ,did they have 2 little toys

Nope. Good aul Rolf eh?

up until buying my own 1st record , i had 2 singles Rolf Harris 2 little boys and The Wombles Remember your a womble . i was a deprieved child

i know Rolf was xmas no1 in 69 but dont know who knocked him off top spot ?

Ha! That's cool man. My 1st single was by Mungo Jerry - In the Summertime.
2nd was by Normam Greenbaum - Spirit In The Sky. I had a secret love for Karen Carpenter, but had to keep it quiet in dem days. Not cool. 1st album was the Carpenters. Still have it. Still love it. The Voice

Id just got my 1st Summer job in 1970. Couldn't afford them up till that point. We weren't rich like. But me mate was, so Id listen to Hendrix, Rory Gallagher and Clapton round his house.

Shoebox Int middle of Rooaaad

It has a popular herb in its title.

The 1st single i bought myself was Dexy's Midnight Runners- Geno , i made my mum take me to Wooly's to get it .

Geno was an excellent single. God Bless yer Mum.

the only song i can think of with herbs is Scarborough Fair

Nope. Thyme is on my side... thats a hint not an answer btw.

i fecking losing it im trying to make songs up with parsley in the title !

What/who else, goes with thyme and grows?

Love Grows ... were my Rosemary goes

nice one

Yo! 5 weeks at No.1. Edison Lighthouse. Only No .1.

Wouldn't of got that without the clues .


What was the The Rolling Stones last no1 UK single ?

I'll need thyme for that. Hmmm.

Angie?

Nope not ...Angie think that was a US no1

I don't think they've had one for yonks. Actually, I dont think they've been doing No.1 hit singles for yonks either. Video/MTV/Internet killed the radio star.

I know Jagger did Dancing In The Street with Bowie, for Live Aid .. but, that don't count.

Im liking this. Stretches the memory-banks.

Im seeing Keith Richards on a tall building... Far away cos the camera doesn't do him justice...
Oh man. Was it Just Waiting On A Friend?

Nope ............ you want a clue ?..... year....... or one before it

Yes, yes and yes. Please.

one before was Jumpin Jack Flash in 68 , this was their last no1 and it was in 69

Christ! That long ago?

Honky Tonk Wimmin?

Spot on mate

Does seem strange they never had another UK no1 yet had 3 more US no1's

Yo! Kenny, if you'd asked anything going beyond the 80's, Im generally phhoked with Hits.

Yeah, they stayed big in the States. Always big, but in the POP (I hate that word) Charts.

Who had a No.1 hit with D.I.V.O.R.C.E. ?

1975.

was it Dolly ?

Nope

Tammy Wynette ?

Nope. Although she did sing it/ make it huge originally.

gonna need a clue

It was a skit on the original

the Big Yin ?

Yup!

taking a line from one of yours ........

Who had the last no1 of the 70's ? (i bought this aswell)
