Hopefully this will stay in topic, although given the wide range of subjects, I doubt it.

Basically, try to find the source of the phrase or quote posted.

First up: What popular 60's TV show had the phrase "New York Mets win double-header" in the pilot episode?

Clue: A robot named Hymie was in this show.

Gotta be Get Smart. Don't recall the quote, but I remember Hymie. He was funny. and rather cute in a robotic sort of way....

And he looks like Steve Bracks, Premier of Victoria. Yep, the quote was from Get Smart. Got any others?

Also from a 1960s television programme, a quartet of characters named "John, Paul, George, and Fred".

Were they killed with knitting needles? or am I thinking of the wrong series?

Now that you suggest the possibility, I do believe that they were...

I only know shows like Get Smart, The Flying Nun and Mister Ed thanks to TV1 and (when it existed) Nick at Nite.

Okay then. What was the show in which John, Paul George and Fred were tragically speared by the knitting needles?

That I don't know. The Monkees?

Here's a clue, John Steed pretended to be Wayne Pennyfeather ffitch in the same episode.

Now that name sounds familiar. Are we talking 'The Avengers' here?

I knew the Wayne Pennyfeather ffitch would be a give-away.

We are indeed: That episode was called 'The Girl from Auntie' (which wasn't just a joking reference to 'The Man fom Uncle': "Auntie" was, & maybe still is, a nickname sometimes given to the BBC...) if I remember correctly.

I'm sorry Simon, I didn't see you there. I should have let you give the answer, it was your question.

That's OK.

Okay, where does this newspaper headline come from?

"Dyslexia found for cure"
