I'm guessing it won't be a Facebook group .

I don't think I've ever noticed that before.

Happy Birthday, Roger. I do apologize for being a little late - even with the reminders you gave us, I'm still finding it hard to keep track of what day it is at the moment. If it's any consolation, a friend of mine is 13 days older than you, and I was a couple of days late with his birthday wishes too! I hope you both get a chance to celebrate properly when the lockdown is over.

To make it easier for folks to find in the future, you can see Roger's great review here.

I last saw the documentary above a few years ago, and I've just had a chance to re-watch it. Here are a couple of quotes to show the highs and lows: On his accidents: "He's lost teeth, broken his shoulder, both legs, his back, his skull and has been in a coma for 38 days thanks to motor racing." After getting married: "The Mosses are honeymooning in Holland, but only for four days - Stirling has to be back in London to judge the Miss World contest." It must've been quite a life!

I've just seen the sad news that 1950s racing legend Sir Stirling Moss has passed away at the age of 90. He still competed in historic racing events until he was 81, but has suffered from health problems far the last couple of years. There's an obituary here. Below is a documentary from a few years ago where Sir Patrick Stewart got to meet his racing hero. It's well worth a watch, especially for those of you less familiar with European motorsport.

I don't know if we have gouging laws here either, but I haven't noticed any price rises. I think there would be a huge public backlash if any of the major supermarkets tried it. At the moment they're being held in high esteem for staying open and providing essential supplies despite the infection risk to their workers. Our gas prices are the lowest they've been for a long time, but we're not allowed to go anywhere. BTW. Your gas prices are still less than half of what we pay!

I've never heard of "rage-quitting" before. It seems to be a gaming term.

It's pretty cool what can be achieved with a few simple building materials. Well done, Flint.

With Dukes already back on TV over here, I decided to fill some of my time off by continuing the '70s/'80s TV theme by rewatching 'CHiPs'. I'm near the end of season 2 and what pops up?: an episode called 'Quarantine' about an Asian boy who turns up at the CHP HQ possibly carrying a deadly virus. As a precaution, everyone who's been in contact with him faces up to two weeks' isolation in the building. What a great way to take my mind off the current situation!

The Dukes of Hazzard was definitely shown in Ireland, but I grew up in England. The UK got Dukes about five weeks after the US ('One Armed Bandits' debuted on January 26th in the US and March 3rd in the UK). It was initially shown at 9pm on a Saturday night (maybe a reflection of the more adult tone of the Georgia episodes), and as I was only eight at the time, I wasn't allowed to watch it very often. It then got an earlier slot and I became a regular viewer. Last year I posted the original UK TV listing from 1979 to celebrate 40 years of Dukes - you can see that here.

I see you put the college parking sticker on the windshield - that's attention to detail!

I tried to work it out, but I think they painted over the magazine's name.

Although it was better with the chat room.

We'll definitely have to do this again.

It was WB's Western set. 'Laramie' seems to have been filmed at Universal Studios.

It was all readable. Maybe paste as unformatted text next time (you get an option at the bottom of the reply window when you paste into it).

Flint, check out the last 15 seconds of this clip from 'The Big Bang Theory' - it shows the set that now stands where Laramie Street was.

That's the end credits for me .

It's now a suburban street set.

Is it just me, or is there a lot more background music in the first season?

It's a shame they demolished Laramie Street.
