Advantages: Interesting look back at classic TV Disadvantages: No special features
The Dick VanDyke Show was a classic of its kind. Every week people would hurry home to see what shenanigans Dick VanDyke (Rob Petrie) his wife Laura and their brat sorry! Cute little tyke Ritchie would get up to. It started in 1961 and ran until 1966.
Rob was a writer for a comedy TV show and he shared an office with fellow writers Buddy Sorrell (Morey Amsterdam) and Sally Rogers (Rose Marie). They worker under the watchful eye of sarcastic programme producer Mel Cooley (Richard Deacon) For some reason as a child my favourite character was Mel Cooley.

The series came out before colour television really caught on (even in the USA) so the entire series was filmed in black and white.

But even the usual Friday and Saturday night parties are legendary, with a huge (very tasty) BBQ and disco until the early/late hours. I can't remember the exact cost but it was extremely reasonable. Foxy himself performs songs and jokes most afternoons. He's built his own microbrewery (I think it's the only one in the BVI) and also serves great rum cocktails.

The Sandcastle Water World Blackpool
I have just returned from a mini holiday to Blackpool and one of the days was spent in The Sandcastle Water World. We had a great time and I thought I would give a few hints and tips as to what to expect.
Admission
You can either pay on the door, but you do get a 10% discount if you plan ahead and book more than 24 hours ahead. I checked the weather forecast and planned to go on of the days which looked rainy and generally dreary. Booking ahead is definitely to be recommended - we arrived around 11.30am and the queue was horrendous, but having online ticket confirmation meant we went straight to the front of the queue and went right in!!
The website is easy to navigate and gives plenty of information as to what to expect and all the prices. There are generally two tiers ...
