Hello & welcome to my website!
My name is Callum & for as long as I can remember I have held a deep interest and passion for British comedy, classic TV shows & films & British theatre, particularly from the 1960's, 70's & 80's.
My primary interest is the cult British institution that are the 'Carry On' films. Although I am too young to remember them the first time around, from being very young I have been captivated by these bawdy & saucy films & the talented actors that made them so successful.

I also have a deep interest in classic & cult TV & films, particularly from the 1980's, & British Theatre.
Having grown up with these shows & films in an era that (in my opinion) was the best & that turned out some of the classics I quickly became addicted. We may now live in a world of a million TV channels and countless media platforms, but they really don't make them like they used to!
Over the years I have been very lucky & fortunate to meet some of my childhood heroes from these wonderful films, TV shows & stage productions at various public & private events. I also now call some of them friends, which is quite amazing!
What started out as a hobby all those years ago has grown year on year & as a fan I wanted to make this website for other fans and collectors who have similar interests. It helps raise money for charity too! Pretty cool eh?
I hope that you enjoy browsing & that you find something of interest!
All the best,
