It Wasn’t Me! It Was Her!: Wednesday, 2nd November, 1977

She drove to her parents’ and presented her father with the slender length of copper pipe, which he will need when he does the plumbing beneath their kitchen sink. As I helped him carry the kitchen table around the house in the rain and into an area downstairs, “Mum” told Tiki of how he had embarrassed her in the supermarket, Franklins, today. He had loudly passed wind in the supermarket and proceeded to portray her as being the culprit.

“Willesee”, at seven o’clock, included an interview with Robert Sangster and Susan Peacock, who are soon to marry. “Steptoe and Son’s Christmas Special” followed at half past the hour, and, at half past eight, the picture, “Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines”. This offering from 1965 stars, among many others, Sarah Miles, Terry Thomas, Robert Morley and Stuart Whitman. It centres upon the London-Paris Air Race of 1910, but for what is ostensibly supposed to be a humorous film, this quality is sadly found to be wanting.

We are experiencing the first worthwhile rainfall in months. Last month was the driest October in seventy years.
