    Did you used to read Battle weekly, or Warlord? Those small comics you could get?

  3. Nah , bought the odd one or two but in hindsight they probably too book-ish looking ...

    I was strictly a `VICTOR` kid, anything else was rubbish :rolleyes:

    Who remembers
    "Lock the doors draw the curtains because it time for appointment with fear "
    Then a great old horror movie came on , Frankenstein, Hounds of the Baskerville's , with the likes of Borris Karloff ,Christopher Lee and Peter Cushion .

  6. Does Schindler’s List count? Or are we strictly speaking old-skool productions?
    Not seen enough of them but have many on my Watch List i’m sure.

  7. ...and for those watching in black and white - the brown ball is the one next to the blue....

    My whole world was in b&w until I was about 25!!

  8. A friend of mine, when we were kids, thought the whole world was once black & white, literally, because that’s how it was depicted
    He didn’t realise that it was sepia before that like everyone knows now.

  9. Don't forget commando and the Hotspur
     
  10. We can control the horizontal, we can control the vertical, change your picture to a soft blue or to crystal clarity

    We can take you from the inner mind to the Outer Limits.

    Norman Wisdom films B&W brilliant
     
  11. Yeah - Hotspur was the one I had on order from our corner shop - a great read - front cover was in colour though - just inside was b&w.
    The Amazing Wilson was one storyline I think - and one war story was called "Squadron Q of the cabbage Patch" - funny what springs to mind 60 years later
     
  12. Not for me thanks - Commando always seemed a bit hard core and Hotspur just reminded me of football !!
    Victor every time , Alf Tupper 'the tough of the track' was a particular fave as I enjoyed running at school

  14. There's a Czech film made in the 60's called Limonadovy Joe (Lemonade Joe) which is a spoof western about the magical healing properties of Coca Cola (called Cola Loka in the film) which is even able to raise the dead :beer:

    It starts off in black and white and throughout the film it changes it colour pallete but stays monochromatic. Quite funny, and interesting, I've never seen another film like it.
