Light relief.

wraymond · 10th November 2020, 18:16

Gawd, I’m fed up. So, by way of light relief, thought of a very minor diversion. A little quiz to while away time until the next meal and an excuse for a glass of Ribena. At least that's what Celia thinks. She's short sighted.

Three B/W TV series titles. All you have to do, on the gentleman’s word that there will be no Wicki excursions, is come up with the name of the presenter for each one. Apologies to those under the age of 89.

1. The Killing Stones......
2. Man of Mystery.......
3. TWTWTW............

A bonus if you can give the name of the theme tune of No.1. Plus the name of the popular group who recorded the theme music to No. 2. The name of the singer of the opening credits of No.3. That answer entitles (get it?) you to put the next three titles of your own.

The singer was Millicent Martin

That shows my age. It was considered to be at the cutting edge.

Yes, it was. I remember David Frost tearing to shreds a hapless chap who had defrauded many people who had bought policies in his insurance firm. It was merciless and toe curling to watch. Curiously, the black and white format made it more brutal.

Just watched the Diana/Bashir documentary and decided to have an early night. I'll leave this until this time tomorrow to give you lot a chance!

It was an insurance (motor)? fraud- The chaps name was Suvundra, Dont think it would get through the "censors" now. Maybe his offices were in Reading, not sure on that? Chris.S.

You are correct. I remember being on the Isle of Wight watching the powerboat race around the island and he had a boat in it called "Jackie S"
