Amazing things about April 13:
» Howard Keel is today's star birthday boy (he's 84). Amazingly, Keel is 'leek' backwards. Howard, of course, is famous for being Mr Ellie (Clayton Farlow) in Dallas. Peter Davison, star of Doctor Who and At Home With The Braithwaites, is 52.
» On this day in 1991, disgraced pop stars Milli Vanilli released the first single to actually feature their voices, instead of session musicians who could actually sing. It was not an unqualified success (or any other kind of success).
» It was reported in 2000 that sci-fi 'classic' Blake's 7 (which, by the end of the original series, had only five characters, none of whom were Blake) was set to return. We're still waiting.
» Animal Magic, with Johnny Morris, was broadcast for the first time, in 1962.

About Us

According to Marxist theory, cultural forms such as opera, classical music and the literary works of Shakespeare all fall under the heading of high culture. Low culture refers to a wide variety of cultural themes that are characterised by their consumption by the masses. We might not be Marxists, but we do know we loved Footballers Wives. If you do too, you'll know what this is all about.
