Happy 103rd birthday to David Lawton who played chef Bernard Booth
What a grand old age
What a grand old age
Hello! I told myself I was going to bed but what the hell, it's a Saturday, so here I am.
I started watching Crossroads because my favourite Doctor Who character of all time (one Ralph Cornish, my profile picture) is played by Ronald Allen. I was utterly bewitched by his performance and after tracking back to his villain Rago in The Dominators (I had not recognised him at all until someone told me it was the same man) I then cast my net further afield. I've watched him in The Avengers, The Adventures of Robin Hood, A Night To Remember, Hell Boats, The Supergrass, and The Projected Man. And, of course, so much Crossroads.
Obviously my favourite Crossroads character is David Hunter haha. But I also really like Benny, Sandy, Lloyd, Diane and of course Barbara. I'm rewatching early 1980 at the moment and David and Barbara make me preposterously happy. I also really enjoy David's friendship with Meg which is why I'm scared to go too near 1981 because I know it ends in tatters.
I've got completely drawn into the series and I ended up watching quite a bit of it with my mum, who watched it with her mum when she was growing up (her favourite was Benny). We express our opinions of the characters' decisions like it's a spectator sport! David is very stupid (said with love) and Lloyd is a terrible psychiatrist. I love relaxing with the familiar characters, sets and theme song and have started just having it on in the background whilst I'm doing other things. Not today though. Chris had just got home and I already had a headache, so I watched Friends instead.
If anyone ever wants to talk Crossroads, I would be delighted to join
