Was it just me?

I was young at the time, I admit it shamelessly, but I absolutely adored Give us a Break. It was just the thing for this (then) 12-13 year old anglophile. I fell in love/lust with Mr McGann on the instant, and have remained more or less in that state ever since. And heavens, am I tired.

I am now also a proud owner of the novelisation of Give us a Break, which I picked up in an Op (Thrift) Shop many moons ago. I even bought second and third copies, as I found them, to give to friends. Some people (those who donated the books in the first place) have absolutely no taste! It is as funny as the series.

I can't remember whether the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Thingy) ever repeated this, or the vaguely recalled post-script movie-length episode that came out some time afterwards. Well, they should!!

Hurrah, basically, for Give us a Break! It was a definitely one of the highlights of my TV watching career.

A much missed classic!

I loved this! I suppose being a huge snooker fan at the time helped a little, but I was also a Robert Lindsay fan too, so it was double helpings of pleasure for me. Give Us a Break was a very much underrated series, that deserved more than the single series it was given.

I think the BBC would do well to remake this series, setting it in the present time so we can see what the two main characters (Lindsay and McGann) are up to now. Did Mo (McGann) ever make it to become a pro player and stay the course I wonder?

BRING IT BACK!

PLEASE!
