Welcome to part two of the Discovered Out of Context challenge.
To those of you who have already posted a story, thank you! Of course, if you feel moved to write another story, we will not stand in your way. *hides pokey stick behind back*
PLEASE bear in mind, that even IF a prompt has already been used, you are still welcome to use the same prompt.
If you would like to be reminded how to play and/or look at the first list of quotations again go HERE. A third, and final, list of quotations will be posted next Sunday. Please feel free to use any of the prompts at any time.
Quotations from Television programmes of the 1970s
Curiosity is a vice. It's one of the few I don't have. Alias Smith and Jones
Reality is a dangerous concept. Each one of us interprets it in a slightly different way. Every sense impression is filtered by the brain and altered, sometimes just a little, sometimes completely, to fit our individual model of what the world is about. If that model should be challenged... Blake’s 7
And by now I have risen like a phoenix from the fires of your eccentricities. The Good Life
I do not want money. I do not want wealth. All I ask is that people humbly and honestly sink to their knees and worship me. The Goodies
The biggest bastard who ever pushed your bell-button. Hazell
Are you drinking because he nearly died or because he didn't? I, Claudius
The beard will be your enemy. The Invisible Man
To suppress a truth, is to give it force beyond endurance. Kung Fu
Every time I come up here, the spirit soars! You can't help thinking what a wonderful place it would be to set up a machine gun! Give me a small squad of hand-picked men and I could defend this place indefinitely! Last of the Summer Wine
If Omar Sharif lived in Gateshead I doubt he'd be Omar Sharif. The Likely Lads
On the contrary. I only get to make up. You get to remove all my make-up, in front of three men who'll kill you if they see what you're doing. Mission: Impossible
Hang on! I've got an itchy conk. I said hang on! Will somebody scratch me nose for me? Bloody hell. Pennies from Heaven
You can't go back to the way things were, cause they were never that way in the first place. The Persuaders
MO: Are you now or have you at any time been a practicing homosexual?
Fletch: What, with these feet? Who'd have me? Porridge
She was just a very good-looking nun. There's nothing more sinister than that. Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)
It's like being on the Titanic: confused orders from the bridge, water sloshing around in the engine room. At least they had a band. Rising Damp
Never plead guilty. Rumpole of the Bailey
If I want to send an agent to the lavatory, I need the Foreign Secretary's permission. If I want him to do anything when he gets there, I need the Prime Minister's written approval! The Sandbaggers
You are a dyed-in-the-wool, fascist, reactionary, squalid little, 'know your place', 'don't rise above yourself', 'don't get out of your hole' - complacent little turd. Steptoe and Son
He’s a weirdo and he’s hard enough to roller-skate on. The Sweeney

Date: 2008-06-08 08:50 pm (UTC)Well, that's a relief! :D I wanted to stick with mainly English programmes and American ones that were actually widely watched in England. When I went looking for the quotations I found mainly American programmes that were never shown in England.
More stories? *rubs hands together*

Now, if that isn't a prompt for an Ann Holly story, I don't know what is! XD

Date: 2008-06-09 11:18 am (UTC)Thanks! I was more nervous about this bunch as it was a lot more difficult to find the quotations... lots more for American programmes than the English ones.
I sort of had a mental list of programmes like Porridge I wanted to look for and of course I couldn't resist the beard one! *eg*
Ooooh! Bunnies!
