Joyce McKinney. Mad Mormon who tracked her missionary boyfriend to England, then imprisoned him in the missionary position.
Still just about going at 71. Cloned her dog in South Korea, then killed an old man in a hit-and-run last year while living in her car with three dogs in California. Currently locked up in hospital. |  | | |  |

David Owen, who had the air of a character from a Sunday ITV drama, that you would see as a businessman suavely pouring whisky from a crystal decanter but had actually murdered the person who had discovered his fraudulent commercial shenanigans. Weirdly I quite miss him and the litlle fella he was often with.
Oh and Ulrika, who always seemed cheerful whatever dire Saturday night 'entertainment special' she was fronting. |  | | |

David Owen always rather reminded me of the posh manager bloke in Crossroads.
Come to that, I nominate absolutely everyone in Crossroads | | | |

Oh God, Crossroads was soooo bad. Do you remember all the sets used to wobble and the acting was so poor it made Arnold Schwarzenegger look like De Niro? He was called David something in the show. And it was totally implausible that he would fall in love with Meg, who's the only person I know who has ever made the wh sound into two syllables. | | | |

David Hunter, nix. Remember Sandor Eles who played Mr Paul the suave restaurant manager? If you say no I won’t be offended.

It's a podcast where ex Melody Maker writers discuss a random episode of Top of the Pops. The latest edition discussed a TOTP from May 1978 and in the preamble they talk about some events that were in the news when the episode was broadcast and they just so happened to mention Joyce McKinney. This is why I thought you might have started this thread.
It's a good listen actually, I'd recommend it. | |

No I didn't Mick but just looked him up, Was he a bit of a rogue? I do remember Benny and his beanie, Miss Diane, Sandy and Amy Turtle, who had a voice like scratching your nails down a blackboard. | | | |

I did the same back in the days when we had 3 channels.
How shite was TV on Sundays back then? Weekend World. Around Britain. Credo. Highway.
There were also public information films showing children drowning in quicksand or falling into machinery.
And The Singing Ringing Tree. |  |

It was shocking, Nix but one of my old nan's favourites (along with the wrestling, of course, like everyone else's nan) and I used to absorb them when up in her granny flat, which I was all the time as a kid as she was lovely.
She's been dead 36 years this Christmas and tbh I don't think of her as often as I should so at least this thread has done that. | | | |

Yes my nan definitely liked the wrestling Cider, Giant Haystacks and Big Daddy being big favourites. We also had to check the football pools every week with final score and had our tea there with big slabs of bread and about half a pound of butter on each slice. | | | |

There's definitely some interesting psychology in the fact that little old ladies all loved wrestling, especially the "villains".
The only other sport I can remember my nan being enthusiastic about was her saying "I like that Billy Bremner. He always starts a fight" which didn't stop her laughing her head off when Sunderland won the FA Cup. | | | |
