Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
As I read it on another site Johnny Keating arranged his Lost Patrol from the original piece at the request of Maxwell!! We live in a world of half truths, fantom facts and legend intermingled by net users with varying levels of skill and aurhenticity so I'll choose what is printed on the record label from before the web existed as my truth and see where that takes me!!

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
Mick you have "done brilliant" (the massacre of the english adverb so beloved of the round ball game)
and TOH2 spot on..I honestly dont think anyone else on the FCF or indeed most of the known universe including me would have TOH eaded it so quickly.
Very good article on it here which I stumbled on...can you find a theme tume? Of course you can! you just have

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
Thanks Neil, but I rather suspect there are many more than me who remember the show. I used to love watching it and consequently it made a significant dent in my grey matter!. I am working on a reciprical question for you!!

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
Another and rather more recent show captured my imagination and I have just been looking at some things which took me to Robot Wars. Now I am sure that most people know the programme and recognise it as "the bloke from Red Dwarf"'s show. So my question is who was that? and the trickier part who presented the first series before the red dwarf man took over?

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
I will give that episode a decent watch just put the first five minutes on brilliant and some not insignificant players/managers and celebrities involvedmickthemaverick wrote: ↑06 Jun 2020, 20:56 Thanks Neil, but I rather suspect there are many more than me who remember the show.

Even the Alex Ferguson appeared for Falkirk!
"Scottish second division champs Falkirk won their first-round clash by a solitary Alex Ferguson goal and Fergie scored again in the semi but it wasn’t enough to see off Labone, Stewpot and Everton."

Well I'll try a TOH, but never watched Red Dwarf or Robot Wars so its going to be off the markmickthemaverick wrote: ↑06 Jun 2020, 21:00 Another and rather more recent show captured my imagination and I have just been looking at some things which took me to Robot Wars.

I dont think its even worth a spoiler but was Robert Llewellyn in Red Dwarf and "his" programme was Scrapheap Challenge.
Depending on the marking of the above I will progress to the trickier part, or go and do some research for the first bit.
I will just throw in Heinz Wolf(f?) the dotty scientist as random guess as the first host of Scrapheap Challenge

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
Spot on James, I was unaware of that until I came across it watching something else earlier on!
Nothing correct in your TOH I'm afraid Neil!

And old Heinz's show "The Great Egg Race" was a bit of a forerunner of Scrapheap challenge....

Re: Pickled Egg Quiz
I've just been following up another train of thought which led me to this rather bizarre fact.This one will really get the cogs turning:
What do Jerry Desmonde, Elizabeth Allen and Ron Randall all have in common?
and the supplementary how did tonight's activities on the FCF lead me to that fact?
