PART TWO Of TV CENTURY 21 COVER GALLERY...

Copyright relevant owner

As promised, here we are with the second instalment of early covers from the history of TV CENTURY 21.  Looking at these glorious colour pages takes me right back to 1965 (or should that be forward to 2065?) and a brighter and seemingly more innocent era.  I'm especially fond of issue #14, because I recall reading it in my back garden on a sunny day in April all those years ago.  I also remember #18 and 19, the former of which I had a second copy when on holiday in Rothesay of that year.

My mother had gone into a newsagent's while the rest of us sat outside in the car, and inadvertently bought the previous issue instead of the latest one.  I didn't mind too much, as it provided six year-old me with another opportunity to drool over the legendary RON EMBLETON's luscious delineation of ATLANTA SHORE, pegged out on an island outcrop as sharks waited for the water to rise and allow them access to their dinner.

Ah, happy days.

The 'TRUTH ABOUT JIMMY SAVILE' FILE...

Saw this recently when I was going through some back numbers of TV CENTURY 21.  That LADY PENELOPE, eh?  Not much of an investigator, was she?  Stupid b*tch!  PARKER should've given him a right good kickin' - might've saved a lot of people a lot of grief.

PASS-COMMENTABLE...

Recently I've been receiving comments on a daily basis intended to harass me.  No big deal, and don't panic - I'm not about to bore you with the details.  However, most of these comments now go into my Spam file, which I delete unread.  Thing is, I know from previous experience that, for some inexplicable reason, the occasional comment from some of my regular readers can also wind up there.

Therefore, if you've recently submitted a comment which hasn't yet appeared, it may have made its way into my Spam file and been inadvertently deleted.  Feel free to try again, but perhaps it might be an idea to first create a Google account so that your identity can't be hijacked in an attempt to slip a comment under the radar, as has also been happening recently.

Apologies for any inconvenience, and, hopefully, normal service will resume shortly.  In the meantime, enjoy the pretty piccie of the gorgeous girlie.
