TV Times - The Big build up...

Thanks to Norman who wrote to me to tell me about the feature in TV Times referring to the impending release of Look-in.  I did know about the features and in fact had a little section on the original Look-out site and the features along with the covers, which somebody had sent me at the time.  I have searched and found the features and put it in a file for to you to read.

The first feature in issue Dec 19-Jan 1 1970, is a feature about a mixture of stars, and the following week, Jan 2-8, has a feature on lead strip Timeslip, with a black and white sample of the strip.

Thanks again to Norman for reminding me of this and to whoever supplied me the features, click the cover and enjoy....

Sir Ken Dodd 1927 - 2018...


My native Liverpool is in mourning at losing one of it's most treasured sons in Ken Dodd.
Doddy, The Diddymen and Jam Butty Mines and the rest will go down in folk lore, he was a strip in TV Comic for a good while, and also appeared on a Look-in cover and in a feature in 1972.  Condolences to his family.



RIP DODDY, thank for all the laughs.
