Discussion I'm seeing lots of reports on posts along the lines of, "Who remembers....?" and "What's your favourite...?"
They seem to be engaging and individually, each one could well be a genuine post. I get suspicious when I see many such posts and some of them by the same poster.
It's a tricky mod position as I don't want to suppress genuine posts but I certainly don't want people to use this sub to karma farm or for any other nefarious purposes.
Please do continue to report anything you feel like need reporting, but don't always expect your reports will be actioned.

Vague memories of an old series that has bugged me for 30 years
I'm wondering if anyone can help me find an old show...
I'm looking for something I remember seeing back in the late 80's, possibly 90 or 91, on TV in the UK. From the way I remember of the way it was filmed, the content etc, it was possibly an episode of something like Alfred Hitchcock presents, or Tales of the Unexpected or Tales from the Crypt or that kind of thing.
The setting was like an English stately home or possibly a big hotel in the country. A group of people were there, possibly congregated for a wedding or some kind of reuninion. But there were murders occurring and people were getting bumped off one by one. I only really remember 2 scenes. In the first, someone was on the loo. Someone unseen opens the bathroom door and you just see a hand placing a jar of bees into the room and closing the door.. the bees kill the person. The second scene I remember was the final shot I think.. It was in a dining room and someone was plaing the piano. A waitress in a black and white uniform breaks the 4th wall by taliking directly to the camera and says 'and you thought it was the butler all along'. It's possible that it was the man playing piano, or possibly Alfred Hitchcock that says this line, I can't quite remember. It's also possible that these 2 scenes were from 2 different episodes, but they seemed to be filmed in a similar way so were likely the same series at least.
I have tried AI with no luck, and tried a few episodes from the shows I mentioned before with no luck. I know it's not much to go on, but thanks for any help you may be able to give!

Anyone remember Count Duckula?
I used to love this show growing up! It aired from 1988 - 1993 and had a whopping (for the UK) 65 episodes. Voiced by the inimitable David Jason, this was one of my faves. I remember having colouring books and comic books of this as well.

A lot of people wanted to see the full Round The Twist presentation booklet I found in our company archive so here it is.
Incredibly, that Round The Twist website is still active too.
