BBC Drama series Passionate Woman -did you see the vintage...

[Arch.Stanton?]

The other night was channel hopping and came across that new Passionate Woman play on BBC ....just at the point the actors were in a fairground scene . The lead male walked up to a counter at a tent and picked up a Cadet (?) or Cadet Major on a chain and proceeded to plink at the backstop to win a prize ......Must pay more attention to BBC dramas

Hi and cheers for the thread (meant to mention something myself but clean forgot ). Yep I saw that, too, and think it was a Cadet . Nice period consideration by the BBC there I thought . Atb: G.

Sad as I am - yes I saw it too and wondered what the rifle was.

I remember using .22 rifles at fairground stalls in the early 60's England must have been a really dangerous place in those days. Good job we've got all the recent firearms legislation to make us safe

..going to a fair and using a hefty compressed air Tommy Gun shooting steel b.b's out the muzzle at quite a rate . Luckily the 'air' gun was mounted and locked to a swivel joint attached to the counter top ....
