Millie Week 52 - Mon 2 - Sat 7 Sept 1991

We used to have a trivia machine in the Royal Oak pub, which was the favoured local of the youth drama group I was with in the 1980s. If we were skint we would invest 10p in it and could usually get enough money out of it to buy another round.

You never know who is reading these strips. A few days after the fourth strip was published the Daily Mirror forwarded me a hand written note. It simply said: "Actually, it was 1972" and was signed by a band member of Lieutenant Pigeon. As soon as I find it I'll scan it and put it in here. Suffice to say, it quite made my day.

The UK cinema and video (as it was then) ratings are as follows: U (suitable for everyone), PG (anyone can get in but parental discretion is advised), 12 (no-one under 12 allowed), 15 (no-one under 15 allowed) and 18 (no-one under 18 allowed). Of course, it is every teenagers duty to try to see anything that is considered outside their age range. At the time, the Daily Mirror had a listings supplement which would, supposedly as a service to concerned parents, detail all the naughty stuff that was available on new videos, providing teenagers with a detailed checklist of all the juiciest new releases.
