Ever Decreasing Circles

Ever Decreasing Circles : Ever Decreasing Circles was a truly funny sitcom that was an excellent comedy vehicle for Richard Briers who played a totally self-absorbed man married to his long suffering wife (Penelope Wilton).

Whatever his object of obsession was at the time (usually some kind of protest), he was totally blinkered to anything else. So much so that he never seems to notice his new 'friend' (Peter Egan) frequently taking the mickey out of him and cracking onto his wife, who encouraged by this attention does the same, though we know she loves her husband dearly.

Other comedic distractions are played by Harold and Hilda who love walking and always wear matching jumpers and anoraks!

This was excellent stuff and typical middle-class English suburban comedy at its best! The acting and performances/characterisations were first class too! I particularly remember the episode where Richard Brier's character unwittingly wakes up in bed with Peter Egan!

The original fiendishly difficult puzzle,

now with solution guide

 

The original fiendishly difficult puzzle, invented by Erno Rubik in Hungary and one of the biggest toy crazes ever. In 1982 Hawkin's Bazaar was the first to bring a few cases of the Rubik's Cube to England. Unfortunately 25 years ago we were very small and it wasn't long before a much larger company had the exclusive rights to distribute in the UK. We are very pleased to be offering it again! And now includes a new seven step solution guide.

Up The Elephant and Round The Castle

Up The Elephant and Round The Castle

Jim Davidson played an out of work man who is left a Victorian house by his Aunt Minnie when she dies. It was set in the East End in the Elephant And Castle area of South London. It had really fake props and scenery if I remember rightly. He had a squatter living upstairs and bad neighbours. It just seemed to be the same jokes every episode, but there was only a couple of locations in the whole series. I may be wrong as I was very young at the time so my memory of it is quite vague.
