As for Dolly she might well have felt sorry for Wendy, who never did chase down those butterflies, and wrote the song just for her. <br /><br />I will now move on you'll be glad to hear but these kind of posts are winners for lovers of nostalgia like myself (and a few others it seems).Alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671033552961486737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633543688149775322.post-34839983301168688912018-07-06T14:29:56.871+01:002018-07-06T14:29:56.871+01:00I did consider Because Of You as I'm a big Dex...I did consider Because Of You as I'm a big Dexys fan, but presumed the show had lifted it rather than it being specially composed.

My old flatmates know I've taken to blogging/writing of late and I always threaten that I'm going to write about our exploits one day. I sent them an image from Take Three Girls this week and they are afraid, very afraid! Had totally forgotten about that great theme tune though - So evocative of the era and my favourite now of the bunch.

Definitely going to check out the latter on your recommendation.

I wasn't alone mind, I remember one school assembly after the opening ep of S4 (a multi vehicle pile up involving Hazchem on a motorway slip road) in which the headmaster asked us who watched Casualty and had all our year buzzing about it as we'd all seen it!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14569732807130090838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633543688149775322.post-54471774609366829212018-07-05T20:39:46.097+01:002018-07-05T20:39:46.097+01:00Ally McBeal theme?
