Rob182 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 A few highlights from my birthday: The Wombles, The Raccoons, Carry on Constable and, my personal favourite, 'AIDS: Getting the message across'. I imagine my parents sat down to watch that when they got me home from the hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VT Supporter choffer Posted October 18, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted October 18, 2014 BBC1 had the final day of the third test between England and New Zealand. They Who Dare was the evening movie.
