My first driving test involved receiving a major mark (a fail) for a "steering" fault that to this day, I remain convinced was fictitious. The examiner jogged the wheel, which I understood immediately meant that they wouldn't issue a pass certificate. I was travelling at approximately 15-20 mph on a main road, approaching traffic waiting at a set of traffic lights, when I supposedly committed this fault. Unfortunately, this was in the days before dash cameras had even been invented, so there was no evidence to corroborate this. The type of fault that I "failed" because of, was a completely out of character fault that had no objective or ethereal reason to be committed - I believe it was an unlawful act committed by the (female) examiner, in order to generate additional revenue for the Driving Standards Agency, by "requiring" that extra testing be paid for, in order to be able to pass. I've never been able to accept the outcome determined by the examiner, and am somewhat regretful that I didn't have either my instructor with me in the back seat of the car, nor even a senior examiner (not that either may have been able to overrule the testing examiner). Unfortunately, it may be very difficult to prove what happened, and the fear exists that public consensus "sides" with the revenue collecting private company (the Driving Standards Agency) in a dispute such as this, so, I feel utterly powerless to do a lot about it other than to protest it as being a fraudulent act that I believe was perpetrated upon me at my expense. Have you known of anyone with similar experiences?? They *_say_* that there isn't a "quota" of people to pass - that's as maybe. But that *_DOESN'T_* exclude the possibility of *corruption* taking place in such institutions. A thought that occurred to me very early on as even a 17 year old.

31:37 - 35:18 George Davis... yeah he was fitted up for this one robbery, but he was certainly no angel. The whole saga is very interesting, but this little nugget from Wikipedia says it all: "In 1978, two years after his release from prison, Davis was jailed again, having pleaded guilty to involvement in an armed bank raid on 23 September 1977 at the Bank of Cyprus, Seven Sisters Road, London.[14] Davis was caught at the wheel of the getaway van with weapons beside him; in the raid shots were fired and a security guard clubbed to the ground.[15] He was released early in 1984 but jailed again in 1987 for attempting to steal mailbags. Davis pleaded guilty.[11]"

Who knew it was a syrup.

Thanks to You Tube for facilitating these memories

My days! I remember making that house model.

Open the pod bay door, HAL

Pity ITV PLC destroyed everything it touched.

I must say, Ann Bell looks and sounds lovely ❤❤

The influence of Python is strong!

What a find.

Josephine Buchan 💖💖💖💖💖💖

I watched this on the ABC in Australia whenever it was on. I really liked it & still do. Bob Todd was my enduring memory of the show.

22 years to the day.

I'm still staggered by the fact that Frank never smoked a reefer.

“Nineteen hundred and eighty three” 😅

And these crazy folks say that this is better than CGI😂

Sshhh! You know who....

Cyclists / electro bikes: no registration or insurance and flouting the Highway Code with impunity.

Cock sandwich.

As a kid I tried to master Frank Spencer at school (everybody did) must have been the most impersonated voice back then.

Brilliant this was comedy 🤣.

Frank Zappar

Very moving memories ❤

The council man is Magnus Pike I believe.

If only the pair of them worked closer together and LWT made more of their association with Thames than Carlton in the 1991 franchise applications, maybe Carlton wouldn’t have passed the quality threshold none of which was ever shown on their 9 years on the air. God knows why I’m moaning now, it’s all history now

Bring Back LWT. & Thames And Yorkshire Tv

What a sound, interesting,unique artist.

This is brilliant. Around 4:20 I was imagining Jason King walking into the room

Canned laughter, canned applause. Utter nonsense

Absolutely pathetic

Absolutely a classic i remember this from my childhood in the mid 70s The late Clive Dunn was brilliant in this as he was as corporal jones in dad's army a iconic actor and very funny actor 😊

for more cringeworthy stuff have a look at his Little and Large appearance.

Janet Ellis 💖💖💖💖💖💖

Still sing this regularly all these years later 😂

Is this guy the inspiration for the only fools and horses character who can't pronounce his R's

Crazy to think this isn't far off when my dad would have taken his test.

Noddy❤❤❤❤❤❤

Oh excellent so nostalgic...Excellent quality too. I love seeing this kind of stuff. Reminds me of when I was a child and happy.

I actually thought Ray Winstone was quite good in the film.

I loved this movie as a kid

Besides the Basic Instict leg crossing scene this was the 2nd most paused movie part for me😂

Terrible.

When you use to see the presenters.as well instead of hearing them i remember peter marshall was the most famous one doing ITV. and helped his career doing miss world for many years

Is the follow-up to this on youtube? I'm kind of hyped to see what the contestants sent in.

Striking Nurses. School buildings crumbling and Royal Mail axing collections. It could be 2024! A lot of the vacant sites reported had probably been like that since World War II. Unlike today when if it's and empty plot today it's a tower block tomorrow.

Sir Clive was massively ahead of his time and would be proud to see the effects of his efforts through the 60’s, to the 00’s paying off today. Remember folks……Clive was doing this well before the Americans ‘invented’ Teslas and all the other EVs we have today!

LWT usually meant the weekend....Never used to watch it any other time. Didnt have the time then. Got all the time in the world now?

Was this before she joined TISWAS

Always knew one was at Guildford
