Alias Smith and Jones

Alias Smith and Jones – 1971

Two nice bad boys are given the chance to stay out of prison if they do “secret work for the law”, the only problem is that the rest of the world still thinks they are wanted criminals with a big bounty on them. Pete Dual was in the star part, and at the height of the show Pete killed himself with a gun to the head. No one really knows why.

Ben Murphy became Gemini man in 1979.

70’s Televison

What an amazing piece of kit our telly was. Can you imagine having to change channel by turning a knob to tune in BBC2 and forever getting up to realign the aerial and contrast, and the only way to stop the picture from rolling was to give the set a good thump? Do you remember that we only have three channels to watch? Thinking about it, the conversation was better at school next day as everyone seemed to be watching the same thing unlike nowadays where we have too much choice. Aye, the quality of programmes seem to have dwindled when you think back to what we had in our days.
