Marvellous. Remember the Boss Cat controversy? The BBC, bless them, slipped in a title page with The Boss Cat on it because a popular UK brand of cat food was called Top Cat. Everyone continued to call the show Top Cat of course.

We could do all the voices, including Officer Dibble - "Waal I dunno Taap Caat. I reckon yer upta sumpin!"
Top Cat himself was the epitome of Sgt Bilko, on whom his character was based.

Why bother changing the name when the theme tune said Top Cat anyway?

Probably a rather cringing way of avoiding possible legal action!

A really young and spoiled Christian Bale playing on a Commodore 64 Games System.


Remember those? The games were on tape cassettes!
God, I really really wanted one of those growing up.

Apparently Bale got really spoiled by his folks growing up. Lucky bugger!
It makes sense why he's such a nightmare to work with on movie sets these days.

Yeah, I think you could be right:

I would have killed for either one though.

Ironic that Derby were the away team. The Baseball Ground was even worse than Highfield Road. lol

Probably why Derby won. They were used to those conditions.

Remember when pressing used to be called closing down?
