I remember Maggie getting her advice from her neighbour, Mr Hilter, plus the continual search for the President's brain.

Amazing to think that today Reagan would be considered an intellectual giant compared to the current White House inhabitant. All the way from "Mr Gorbachev; tear down that wall!" to "Mexico, pay for that wall!".

Brilliant. We definitely need more of this sort of thing at the moment. That and Charlie Brooker to start up screen wipe again (not happening unfortunately).

Shame it will be exclusively on BritBox. Used to love that show back in the day.

Hold a chicken in the air, stick a deckchair up your nose, buy a jumbo jet and then bury all your clothes, paint your left knee green then extract your wisdom teeth, form a string quartet and pretend your name is Keith. Skin your self alive, learn to speak Arapoho.... etc.

Iin todays politically correct gender politic times it will be a pale ghost of it former self. Imagine Megain and Harries reaction to being ridiculed on TV, they were very quick litigate against perceived disrespect from newspapers...
