I was listening to the BBC Radio 4 radio station this morning, and they gave out - as they always do - their horse racing tips for the day. One of the horses they favoured this morning was called "Brett Maverick".

Hey - Brett Maverick!! Does anyone else here remember HIM?

I remember Bret, his brother Bart, and their cousin Beau, from England. (I wonder whatever happened to Beau.))

contains brief notes about Maverick and lots of other westerns from the old days. Memories galore...

Incidentally, this site (and many others) spell Brett with a double 't', yet seeing it written in your post with just one 't', DG, makes me realise that that's the way (i.é. with a single 't') I remember it being spelt in the TV listings back then.
