Strange how memory recall can kick start a process. The ''Budgie'' moment prompted me to my favourite private tracker and then to locate ''Budgie,'' both series and download them. Budgie is now turning 52 years old.
The torrent site is great for all UK TV, plus a good range of UK movie content and all TV BBC and independent TV companies as well as BBC radio channels covering some sixty or more years...

When it comes to prisoners, 'Norman Stanley Fletcher' is the real deal.

A strange coincidence that should come up. I'm currently viewing a series from the 1970s called Special Branch (a somewhat romantic idea of how SB operated I might add). And one of the main lead characters is a very young slim Fulton Mackay playing Det Chief Inspector Inman. See on the right in the image Fulton Makay with Derren Nesbitt on the left (who was in his private life a very unpleasant and violent person)

I was invited to lunch once by 2 SB gentlemen, regrettably I had to decline.

The first Mrs CM was with BA at Heathrow, she used to tell all manner of tales about SB. She said, if you pay attention and look as you exit long haul flights from HK, you'll usually see two men in suits eyeballing everyone as they deplane, just inside the jetty, they are the SB chaps. Sure enough, they were always there inspecting passengers from BKK and HK although I never got a lunch invite.
