This old English fiolm is on tonight at 1.00 AM (in the morning). It is about "the big con" at the greyhounds, and stars,
mal....as the erstwhile gateman
bayman...as the dodgy friend, &
MT79...as the unfortunate punter.

Well worth a watch.....

It actually stars Frankie Howerd and Stanley Holloway and is a cracking film.

YOU DIDN'T MISS A WHOLE LOT, BUT THE TWO MOST INTERESTING THINGS WERE;

1...The size of the crowds, somewhere between 15 and 20,000.

2...The fact that they raced (and may still do) on tracks that are almost square, where the hair is run down the middle of the track.
