I never knew there was a Dallas comic strip! I wonder if they ever followed the show's stories or eventually went their own way. A shame they didn't last, as I imagine they would have been better than the show by then. And Bobby lost a fight with a stretching machine.

Such a harrowing moment - I wonder how people at the time felt. Ken was never the same without Val, and I'm sorry we never got to see who she would have become.

This makes Priest seem dirty as hell. Very smart advertising if you want people to tune in, I guess, but I'm surprised it's from BBC2.

BBC2 broadcasts Jimmy McGovern's controversial drama PRIEST for the first time. To promote it, they take out full page ads in national newspapers . . .
A Catholic priest is trained to love his fellow man. Not fancy him. Priest. 9.05pm, tonight, BBC2.

#GordenKaye makes the first of 37 appearances as Elsie Tanner's nephew and lodger Bernard Butler in #CoronationStreet. Apparently cast on the recommendation of #PatPhoenix, he was written out in 1970 by new producer June Howson.

#GordenKaye makes his first appearance as Elsie's nephew Bernard Butler in #CoronationStreet. This was the first episode to be broadcast in colour. As the new colour title sequence was not ready, the opening theme plays over a caption card instead.
