Lets go for 1950/51.

If my memory serves me correctly, there were 2 seasons in the 50's next to each other where 2 sides tied for the championship.

Lets go for 1950/51.

1950 was one of the three years (Surrey and Lancashire shared the title that year).

1951 wasn't the other year, though.

 

[MotCO]

I was going to go for 1955.

 

[Mcr Warrior]

I was going to go for 1955.

Nope. Not 1955.

Ok so perhaps my memory isnt as good as I thought.

I'm going to go then for 1949 ?

Not sure whether the two films made in the mid 60's starring Peter Cushing would count.
Jill Curzon and Roberta Tovey were the Doctor's companions, in fact they are his niece and granddaughter
Bernard Cribbins plays Tom Campbell, a policeman who manages to enter the Tardis just as it sets off for London 2150 AD to an Earth invaded by the Daleks

Thanks @TrainLover121 you picked a favourite programme of mine.

Have not any questions at the moment, so I declare Open Floor.

 

[Caboose Class]

I'll step in if I may. A cricketing question:-

Headingley 1982, 3rd Test England v. Pakistan. What remarkable feat did Bob Willis achieve in this match?

Bowled 6 wickets for no runs?

 

[Caboose Class]

Bowled 6 wickets for no runs?

Willis took 3 for 76 in Pakistan's first innings and 3 for 55 in Pakistan's second innings. So nothing particularly remarkable there. Willis' "remarkable" feat has only been repeated once (in Test Cricket) since 1982 and that was in New Zealand in 2016. Consider that as a clue - but I don't think Googlying will help you any further!

Are you here all week? What's the veal like?
