What's with 'Calendar News'? Don't they call it 'Calendar' anymore?

Calling it Calendar has always confused people as they don't know what it is about. YTV call it Calendar but when talking to people from other regions it is always helpful to give them a hint of the type of programme. Anyway, the dytime bulletins are known as Calendar News. The main evening pogramme is called Calendar.

Everyone knows what it's about, it must be the longest running news show on ITV. Ambiguity was in the 70s and 80s spin offs: Calendar Calling, Calendar Tuesday, Calendar Thursday, Calendar at Your Service, Calendar Question, etc...

Way back in the early eighties, a group called Indians in Moscow released a single called Frank Pelter and his Sex Change Chicken.

The chorus was: "I've been on Calendar/ I've been on Nationwide/ And now I'm famous/ Because of my . . . sex change chicken.

Not many regional news programme titles are featured in pop songs, I'll warrant.

Indians in Moscow were from Hull.

They also did a song called Miranda, about a woman eating her own father. Lovely poppy stuff.

And "Calendar Countdown" with Richard Whiteley. What ever happened to that...?

Look at that. Just one second between my posting and Richard's.




















Well, I was surprised.

Not to mention 'Calendar Goes P-O-P!!' with Richard Madeley, who went on to handle much bigger things (geddit?).

Isn't "Attachments" on tonight? More girl-on-girl action for Suiii to drool over.

The only thing wrong with it is the crushingly inappropriate lump of modern indie/dance they insist on using for the end credits. The other week they had "This Charming Man" for God's sake - what's that got to do with the lives of bored and hedonistic office workers? "The Lakes" was ruined by this as well. They should get some proper credits music, to appear on a future little-selling BBC Enterprises disc.

Speaking of which... did anyone buy the tune to "Star Cops"? That was alright, I thought.

Wow

Attachments is unutterably bad. Even the promise of laydee on laydee action does not make it worth watching. I'd rather watch Doris Karloff snog Baroness Thatchrt.

Suiii has standards?!?

*nods*

Actually a very stringent set of standards, it's quite hard to live by a lot of them. But Attachments fell under so many of my categories that there was no way I could watch it without getting the 'red mist'.

Is this conclusive proof that RB and Richard are different people?

We could do with more of these. I have a theory that there are are only 7 different people contributing to this forum. And I'm three of them.

Do you know how depressing it can be, writing the clown and gas bottle stuff?

At least it's a break from the local TV strand...

Come off it, Jon! You write ALL the Forum! Including this bit! It's just a game you play when you're pretending to work!

Curses, I caught myself out there...

It is scary because my initials are RB too!

Naughty Miranda, shurely. That's what they called it on that Tube Hull special anyway. Also the first airing of the Red Guitars' sublime Good Technology.

Actually, the A-side was called Miranda and the B-side was called Naughty Miranda. The B side had slightly MORE shocking lyrics.
How sad am I for knowing and remembering that?
