I have to admit that although he's a smashing lad I'm a bit disappointed. He's a wonderful musician, studied jazz at Boston, won a scholarship to America's top jazz college in New York, the first time I heard him playing standards really well he was 11. Music can be a precarious way to make a living so I don't blame him one bit. I just hope he's also playing stuff he likes.

Boston is an absolute toilet, surely you're mistaken?

Are we talking Boston in Lincolnshire or the States?

I've visited both.

Both meh.

I thought you were referring to the English one.

Well, it was the Penguin actually, but I thought I'd stimulate some debate.

Aside from the history, both Bostons are a little underwhelming these days.

Just watched the latest version of Frankenstein.

An astounding achievement. Utterly mesmerising from start to finish.

10/10

It's on Netflix. It is truly magnificent.

Has anyone seen the modern day remake of Bullseye, presented by Andrew Flintoff ?

I have watched two episodes, my first & my last.

Jim Bowen’s Bullseye was a product of its time - witty, risqué, politically incorrect. It made it iconic TV.

The re-make is none of these things.

I watched 2 minutes and found it excruciatingly embarrassing. Why do we have to go back to old shows? As you said it was of it’s time. There is so much crap on TV at the moment,

Yeh, it’s dreadful.

Jim Bowen must be spinning in his grave watching Flintoff.,

If it's Tom Baker he has lost a lot of weight.

He had a cameo appearance in the 2013 Fiftieth Anniversary episode, and in that he was quite portly.
Still, he was only 79 back then. He is 91 years of age now.

Louise Jameson, who played Leela (in the skimpy costume) opposite Tom Baker in the late 1970's.
For the dads of course

Think I lost interest in Dr Who after John Pertwee left

John & Tom didn’t get on ……. Sounds a bit like this forum

Tom Baker

Wonderful man.

He’s 92 now, and still going strong.

Received his MBE today.
