Howards' Way (1985)
Great memories
I was in my mid teens when this was on the box. My friends and I would all head home in time to watch it (as we always had for Dynasty etc...) Howard's Way was full of love, affairs, breakups, snide business deals and for a 14 year old it had all we needed without anything OTT. The clothing...shoulder pads, shiny 'sateen' fabric, that awful Lynne Howard character who all my friends and I wanted to punch. We absolutely hated her in the first series trying to look sexy to Tony Head and later to the plank of wood who is Charles Frere. Nobody can see through him. As for Lynne's brother, Leo...he is a dreadful creature. I just wish he could close his mouth and take that gormless expression off his face. I don't know how the writers manage with this show, a different writer on every episode.
Jews on Bikes (2013)
Thoroughly loved the whole series!
Fantastic series showing those comfortable with their Jewish religion and lifestyle along with those who no longer attention the synagogue yet still eat kosher and follow much of the Jewish family values and way of life. The female rabbi, Anna I think her name was, was a true breath of fresh air whereas Gary came across as a foul pos. Big Richard oozes sexiness, what a guy! I'd happily be his pillion 💕
The bit which choked me was seeing one of the actual rail carriages used to transport people to the gas chambers. I have recently seen programmes about the holocaust. I never learned about it at school but at 40something I felt it was time I knew a bit of history. I recall the people in the rail carriages were said to have been wearing their finest clothes and jewellery as they thought they were going somewhere better.
Being a former biker myself, I loved that angle of the show. I had to quit biking due to developing fibromyalgia which has left me disabled.
This series had a brilliant soundtrack which ought to be released as a download; Van Halen, The Eagles, Guns n roses, AC/DC, Motörhead, Ram Jam and more epic bands! Thoroughly loved the whole series!
