Who got crowned?
I’ve been having great fun watching all the old episodes of The Persuaders on DVD – and location spotting. Noting down all the places I will need to take ROJ to have it’s photo taken.
I am surprised by how good ‘The Persuaders’ still is – rather than being dated, it is more like watching a period piece. Even the acting isn’t too bad.
The odd little mistake does creep in now and again.
In one episode Brett Sinclair appears in his Peer’s robes saying he is off to a state occasion in the House of Lords.
His robe and coronet are those of an Earl (which Brett was supposed to be) but instead of them being his parliamentary robes (crimson with three white and gold stripes) that he should wear to a state occasion, he is wearing his coronation robes (crimson with ermine trim and three rows of sealskin spots). Only ever worn at the time of a coronation.
So, in the early seventies we got a new Monarch – who is it? and why were the British public never told…??
No work for a while
Won’t be able to fit the new servos for a few weeks – off to Morocco for a bit of a Sahara safari – doubt if there are any Aston owners to cadge a lift from there.

I love the little errors in TV and films that are glaring to people with some knowlege in the specialist subject but are completely missed by everyone else. Here’s a post from Mr Fluffy on the welding forum:
For all the terminator freaks, did you know the original mk1 arniebot was programmed entirely in 8bit 6502
I used to be a 6502 assembly programmer and that bit caught my eye, so we captured the section with the code scrolling past and enhanced it. Not enough of it to be able to figure out what the code actually did, but it was genuine mnemonics
The 6502 was in such powerhouses as the cbm64, the apple IIE Acorn atom and the BBC model B.
Thats why the changey terminator was better, must have had a 32 bit processor. Maybe with a bit blitter
