Have a Shot (Heartland channel now & then)

OMG - Have a Shot (NZ Idol of its day - which looks like late 1940s, but it has to be after TV came here) has me wondering whatever happened to Ron Smith? You may or may not have heard his original song, "Reach for the Sky." I have.

And somebody should track down those two guys with kilts and accordian and hold them to account.

A sign of the times perhaps, though which direction the sign pointed is obscure, but "In An English Country Garden" seemed an odd choice of song for the Maori guy.

Earlier, I caught the much promoed Spartacus. I was expecting a softcore, but pornographically violent, Swords & Sandals romp. And that's exacrtly what the makers delivered, filmed in glorious Bucket-o-fake-bloodovision.

I got confused at one stage, when Craig Parker appeared to be approaching the Gates of Mordor with a Roman Army, but that wasn't important anyway. It's not for the squeamish.

I'll tune in next week.
