Alright boys,i need your help in trying to recall a 1970s British TV drama.
I remember it as a kid and seem to recall it was set in the Anglo Saxon or medieval times.
It had a few well known British actors in it,i can recall their faces but not their bleeding names.
One of the main characters was a english actor in his late 40s early fifties,im sure he was one of the mercenaries in the film the "Wild Geese"he was also in episodes of black beauty and stuff like that....(Who gives a shit i hear you
cry)...he was a big well set fella.
The other actor i remember was a young good looking english actor with fairly long straight black hair(1970s style)
Im sure it was shown on itv and made by Yorkshire Television.
If nobody responds to any of this i totally understand and will get a life in the morning.
By the way, im a Crawley Town supporter that keeps an eye on Brightons results.My mums side of the family moved from Brighton to Crawley in the mid 50s.
My grandad worked for Lyons bread company in Hove and they relocated to Crawley and offered their workers the chance to move to Crawley with them.(Who gives two shits your now screaming)I remember in about 1979 being dragged down to 24 Barcommbe Road Moulscoomb to look at the house they lived in during the war to the 50s.Christ it was grim,i recall my grandad trying to see if any of the old neighbours were still knocking about,he didnt find any.
He told me a funny story,my grandad was a desert rat during the war,he drove a tank and was away fighting in North Africa and Italy for over 4 years.Anyway,when he finally docked at Southampton after the fighting he got the train to Brighton and a bus to Moulscommbe.It was late when he finally got home, and after knocking for ages finally gave up thinking no one was home,the mother in law found him in the morning fast asleep in the coal bunker.
I wonder if many other families moved to Crawley from Brighton during that time?.....(f*** me,im boring myself now).......Good luck in the championship boys and we may cross swords in either of the cups this season.
