Merchandise of the Month - Shower Curtains
No Fame shower curtains were available back in the 80s but now with online sites like Redbubble people can buy and in some cases create their own merchandise.
Redbubble currently have a number of Fame designs from logos to cast pictures in various colours of lots of different types of merchandise, including these and other shower Curtains.
Ideal if you want Fame all around your home. Redbubble can be quite expensive but at various times are having special offers.
Redbubble can be difficult to search. When you look at one style they show you similar options but sadly I've yet to find a way to see every Fame design in one go.
There's A Train - Debbie Allen & Albert Hague - Song of the Week
The lyric "It'd be so nice to see you smile again" comes from the Season 2 song "There's A Train". Written by Henry Gaffney it is performed by Debbie Allen & Albert Hague.
There's A Train that's coming my way
Are you on it?
It'd be so nice to see you smile again, my long lost friend I'd pay the fare
There ain't nothin' there to keep you all aboard
I pray the Lord will bring you, just ten miles of track.
There's a breeze that's blowing my way
Can you feel it?
It'd be so nice to hear you laugh once more
You know my hearts an open door
What-cha waitin' for? There's A Train that's goin' my way
Where the sun's always shinin' and the moon never fails to appear
Where the tracks come together
There'll be a change in the weather
Come aboard, come on along, sail away There's a song that's comin' our way
Can you hear it?
It's a tune that's bound to brighten up our hearts
You know we've been too long apart
Here's a brand new start
There's A Train that's coming my way
Are you on it?
It'd be so nice to see you smile again, my long lost friend
I'll pay the fare
There ain't nothin' there to keep you all aboard

Titbits - Magazine of the Month
Titbits is a hugely British magazine that was first published in 1881. Founded by George Newnes it was a weekly publication on cheap newsprint. It's full title of Tit-bits from all the interesting books and newspapers of the World.
Like a mini encyclopedia it featured tit bits of information on a diverse range of subjects often concentrating on the sensational and dramatic. Popularity soared and it became the first British publication to sell over a million copies per issue.
By the 70s and 80s it was owned by IPC magazines and the magazine focused on Tit bits of information on celebrities, gossip and popular culture and was mainly aimed at women. Although by this time circulation had dropped and after a wage dispute the magazine ended in June 1984 with it's final issue published on 18th July 1984. The magazine was then taken over by a similar rival magazine "Weekend" which was published by Associated Newspapers. Weekend ceased being published in 1989.
In 1983 Tit bits featured Fame a a number of occasions and the cast graced the covers for the 30th April and 13th August 1983 issues, with small features on Debbie, Gene, Albert, Morgan and Lee. a sneak peak of the Wizard of Oz episode came in the 1st September 1983 issue and then as Season 3 started broadcasting in the U.K in February 1984 we had small features on Cynthia Gibb on 3rd March 1984 and Billy Hufsey on 10th March 1984.
If anyone has the Billy Hufsey feature or knows of any other issues that features Fame related articles then please let us know.
