Does anyone remember the British TV cop show Z Cars?

The show that introduced us to Brian Blessed

The theme was half-decent. Listen.
PC Fancy Smith ?

Too funny JKD!

How about A for Andromeda? It was broadcast about the same time?

Ah, yes. Julie Christie. Love at first sight. (Well, sort of. )

Actually I meant the 1961 TV sci-fi series written by astronomer Fred Hoyle, not the movie starring Julie Christie. (I didn't know about the movie btw)

I take it you mean THIS ONE

"A for Andromeda (1961) was the BBC's first major adult science fiction production since the three Quatermass serials of the 1950s. But unlike its predecessors, it used the new sciences of computing and genetics, rather than the established disciplines of chemistry and archaeology, to tell its story of an alien threat to humanity."

Salt and vinegar....all you need to go with a large order of chips in London.

How very true.
But
Not just London (and preferrably with Maris Piper potatoes).

And not 'shoestrings', 'matchsticks', or pommes allumettes. These have their place. But it's hard to beat a good 'finger-sized' Maris Piper chip cooked in (heaven forbid) beef dripping. Just sayin'.

I remember when MickeyDees were pretty much guilt-tripped into stopping the practice of using beef drippings for their fries. The damn things have never tasted the same since.

Did you know that's the number one seller on their menu? They may advertise how many billions of burgers they've pushed out over the years, but they've sold even more orders of fries.

(and that's my "Cliff Claven ~ useless bar trivia" contribution for the day )

Useless bar trivia?

On the wall of a pub in my hometown was a sign:

All the talk of the chips (I hate 'fries') was making me so hungry.

Double done, of course
(half-cooked, allowed to cool then finished off on high; or so I was told).
