The World Of Love Charlie

 Sun, sea, sex and sand who could want more from a vacation? But how about lost, wet luggage, mystery tour mayhem, nosey neighbours, exploding toilets and perhaps the luckiest middle aged men ever, you get all this and more when you take a holiday on the buses.  The 1970's for the British film industry wasn't a great decade, horror films, sex comedies and TV spin offs made up most of the nation's cinematic output, amongst all of these films were a few diamonds in the rough but by and large most have now been forgotten, much to the delight of the actors still alive today, Joanna Lumley may be absolutely fabulous now but back then was stripping down for the camera.

With A Little Help From Charlie   I am perhaps not as sporty or as energetic as I could be, while others enjoy playing football, tennis or even the lazy sports such as golf or darts, while some relish taking hiking holidays, walking through national parks or climbing mountains I prefer the rather less challenging pass time of putting my feet up and watching a film, does picking up the remote count as exercise?
