AIBU thinking why bring JR into this?

[Sidelook]

Why not ask their new Director of Programmes @iankatz1000 what his wife's @Justine_Roberts thinks of #Genderquake ? Oh and how is @MumsnetTowers getting on with its feminist purge?

Ooh i remember 'The Onedin Line' loved that on a sunday night watching with parents. Had a crush on the lead guy James Gilmore😀

And 'Triangle' was different from usual 'soaps' and wasnt it Larry Lambs early tv work?😀

How Green Was My Valley was another fabulous series.

The theme tune fro The Onedin Line can have me blubbing in seconds. My DM loved it.

The theme to Onedin Line and the theme to Black Beauty !

My mum was friends with Captain and Mrs Onedin in real life. They came to stay at our house in the 1970s. I told them a joke but he didn’t laugh.

Peter Gilmore coughs.

It was James Onedin

Oops😀
same difference same crush😀

Black Beauty and White Horses and Follyfoot themes get me every time😭

The Theme from The Onedin Line is the pas de deux from the ballet Spartacus, one of the loveliest moments in 20th century ballet.

It was important to the Soviets - slave uprising against cruel oppressive masters etc - but ofc is an important work of art in its own right.

Here are the Bolshoi stars (at the time, the best ballet company in the world imo) performing it to a Western audience for the first time:

That is so beautiful

Got the shivers. Just beautiful.

Ah I'm so glad you liked it. I think it's gorgeous too.

In the name of God and all that's holy, what the piggin hell is going on with this post???

Barbara Bel Geddes has t have surgery, that's why she was replaced by Donna Reed. But if I recall correctly, Reed was under the impression that the role was hers til the end.

I loved Eldorado. It was getting very interesting towards the end with the guy who died in the bath and the father in law lusting after the daughter in law.
And one of the actresses was called Framboise

Harolds stunning! Thanks for posting that

Lilac it's turned into classic old-school MN!

Loved the new seasons of Dallas. Poor Larry RIP.
It didn’t occur to me JR could stand for Justine Mumsnet because, well, I have always seen her surname as actually being Mumsnet.

New Dallas was fantastic.

Now go watch New Dynasty, it's on 'flix and the finale came out today!

I loved Dallas - all the drama; all the dances.

Dynasty wasn't as good but Joan Collins is fab on Twitter. Her throwback shots from Dynasty are great.
