She was married to Trevor Eve off Shoestring IRL.

He's an accomplished Shakesperian actor actor IIRC but Shoestring is the only bit I'm interested in.

Whào else remembers when the beeb used little filler programmes when they had a gap, stuff like those scary "Charlie Sez" or the even scarier Rolf Harris ones?

I recall one that was shown in the afternoons usually, it was called "Evoleon" or something like that, a strange science fiction sort of place with odd art installations and weird Dr. Who twinkly music- or am I just mad? :p

I'd say Talking Pictures TV but the advertising on that is particulalry brutal which takes us back to where we started!

It all puts me in mind of an old Pink Floyd lyric.

"I've got 300 channels of tit on the TV to choose from"
