I have BritBox now so I'll try it. I have seen Doc Martin all episodes but I want to see again. Originally I saw them on Netflix Discs but I cancelled that. I really love the show. I don't like this thing about paying good damn money only to be able to stream. I am contemplating buying the Complete Series 1-9 for $56 on eBay. It would cost a ghastly amount if you "bought" on AmazonPrime. At least for $56 I've got the DVDs safely in eager hands. What a racket, selling streaming. Bah! I'll have none of it. What a racket! The way they squeeze you for money. So if you spend a fortune on Amazon Prime for stuff then you're locked in. If you cancel Amazon then you lose your purchases? Rant, rant, rant ... I miss Louisa. Caroline Catz is a treasure!

Thanks, Jakeem. I made the correction prior to your post. I became suspicious of possible error when I noticed that Spin and Marty was not mentioned in your opening post. So I looked it up. Rather than delete the post I decided to correct it. The RIP of course would apply in either case.

An unexpected pang upon seeing this. Unexpected because what is Tommy Kirk to me. Then I thought; OMG, Spin and Marty. Which one is he? I was fond of that show and those two guys. I am old enough to see the original episodes. The only scene I remember is when Spin and Marty were both swimming in the opposite direction heading for the same thing. The episode ended and I don't remember what they were swimming after. Anyway, wow, I am so sad. RIP EDIT and CORRECTION ; Tommy Kirk was not in Spin and Marty. (but he coulda have) Still, RIP Mr. Kirk

I liked Cavegirl. I do believe however that once she assumed this persona (with another screen name) that had an ax to grind about something and damn if I can remember what it was. Something about Bette Davis and about an issue of which she (the poster} believed the contrary of conventional wisdom and was adamant about it expressing herself with intelligent exuberance and humor. I should say at this point that it was never proven that it was Cavegirl, it was a sort of assumption of mine. Anyway, she latched on to me and we had a series of exchanges that were but only mildly contentious and with an undercurrent of mutual respect. It was not one of those knockdown drag out and overtly venomous back and forths, It was rather a lot of fun and then suddenly she disappeared. I was disappointed and posted about it by quoting the the first few lines of a Schubert song (after Goethe) which went like this: So hab ich wirklich dich verloren, Bist du, o [Schöne]1, mir entflohn? (So have I really lost you, have you from me flown away) approximate quote ...which of course is obviously a love song but which I attempted to use only mockingly so. I should say for accuracy's sake that it was probably not Cavegirl but I thought it could have been at the time. She never came back. The whole thing seemed like a dream as it does today. Our posts to each other were very long but they were certainly not about love. I missed her because of the fun of it. Where are the posters of yesteryear? I am tempted to scroll down the long list of screen names on the site because I would certainly recognize the name. She (or he, possibly) actually changed names midstream. But truly, I thought Cavegirl was interesting. Wasn't she particularly adept of coming up with great thread titles and an interesting first posts? I think so.

Did someone change the clue? My answer above was in answer to the clue "Republican." Clint Eastwood was to young to serve in WWII. Not the end of the world but still curious. Whatever. Maybe the original clue was thought to be too political. See previous post for current clue, thanks.

Muller asks viewers to contact him on Twitter or his website. But not on the TCM Message Board. Golly gee, I wonder why.
