Just watched the teaser and opening of this... is it a reworking of the first episode of The Invaders? Certainly looks like it!

Fairly sure there's a semi-official DVD floating around which also has a half-hour interview with the producers. I bought it online a year or so back, quite cheap. Was surprised to find I still had the book, which I found secondhand some time in the 90s. I remember watching this with my parents at t...

A quick update: Owing the massive response of pitch ideas, we are now asking for full story outlines so we know exactly what we can expect. Those who have submitted full story outlines were among the first to be approved. Shorter, less well developed, pitches - I am slowly going through these (my ap...

Following the success of and interest in the Peter Cushing Dr. Who Fannual, a second Fannual is being seriously considered. It will follow the adventures of UNIT, set during season 10 of Doctor Who in 1973, between The Three Doctors and The Green Death. It is primarily about UNIT, and how they cope ...

At last!

The long awaited full colour paperback edition is available:

There's one further credit, again as Binny Gathercole - in an ATV Comedy Premiere play called "Home Sweet Home". Shown 31/08/1975, the play "takes the story of ATV's children's serial The Kids of 47A. a few years forward", to quote Television Today. This production aside, I have no idea what Gaynor...

Great finding a close Jeffrey Hunter 'lookalike' the younger Sean Kenny (who plays navigator 'DaSalle' in another series episode and can be seen to closely resemble Hunter) to portray the badly injured Fleet Capt. Pike - he really did look very much like Jeff Hunter's original Capt Pike character I...

Even now I remember it as the very first episode of Star Trek shown on BBC1, on a Saturday afternoon in the summer of 1969. We visited my grandparents, and they had colour television. Shaqui, did you write an article on UK Star Trek comic strips for Star Trek Magazine a few years back? One of my fa...

Ok, Network, I'm begging you now. It's four years since the last batch of Look-Back. So pleeeeease release Soldier & Me. Pretty please. With knobs on. I interviewed their designer Martin Cater a while back, and he admitted the four excellent volumes of Look-Back pretty much exhausted what was then ...

The first two Hartnell annuals didn't, nor did the Davison or Colin Baker editions. Nor the 1960s Dalek annuals. So in that vein, neither have we...

Not gonna happen... ;-)

The long awaited Peter Cushing Dr. Who FANNUAL is finally complete! It has taken just over a year to produce (since October 2012) and there are multiple versions for every pocket available of this fan produced Dr. Who annual featuring Peter Cushing as Dr. Who.

Wasn't Brian Clemens going to do something called The Good Guys at some point in the 1980s - or did that eventually morph into Dempsey and Makepeace? I recall being shown by Paul Mark Tams back in the 1980s a World Distributors annual promotion brochure which mentioned The Good Guys. There was no c...

Operation S.W.O.R.D - a Gerry Anderson series concept that got far enough advanced to have an Annual produced. Possibly the original successor to Captain Scarlet before Lew Grade diverted him onto Joe 90? Project SWORD was never a serious consideration as a TV series. It was simply a marketing umbr...

Considering the hacking down of US TV 'hours' to about only 42 minutes of actual show, how long before the UK does away with titles sequences, as is evident on shows like Heroes, Agents of SHIELD and Hart of Dixie - a few seconds of series title with, effectively, a jingle/sting?

Agents of SHIELD recently had the Universal backlot as Belarus/a brief shot of London, jarring with real footage of Stockholm. And every actress in a US series who is English/pretending to be English now has to channel Renee Zellweger playing Bridget Jones, it seems... (yes, I'm looking at you Agen...

Susan Thorne is credited with the video presentations for Duel, Orac and Aftermath. I traced her a few years back, and she confirmed she was responsible for those edits. After such a long time though, she could not recall if she worked on The Beginning or not.

This piece purports to be the account Tim Tate , the YTV producer of Conspiracy of Silence , which seems to confirm it was a First Tuesday edition. Tate also worked on a couple of editions of Secret History for Channel 4, including Kinsey's Paedophiles in 1998, which - having checked by SH tapes, w...

Thanks Mickey. If true, it's interesting that no other US government has been shown this, or seen to act on its revelations. Doesn't that make all subsequent governments, and indeed law enforcement agencies, an accessory after the very obvious crime(s)?

Well again, I'm looking for confirmation of the 'facts' stated in that YouTube snippet. It could all be a pack of, at best, misassumptions, and at worst, a load of lies! On the other hand, it could all be true - over to the archive experts, please.

I wonder if perhaps it has tried a bit too hard to give an impression that this was the editor's 'cutting copy' of the film? but maybe not? Difficult to know. That's why I was wondering if anyone knew of a broadcast in the UK, and if indeed all copies were destroyed - or was this just in the USA? W...

By chance, I stumbled across this snippet on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UgGvMntX9s - which suggests this 1994 documentary was pulled and never shown in the USA, and all copies destroyed, with co-producers Discovery and Yorkshire TV fully reimbursed to the tune of £250-£500k. While I do...

Here's Jill's Spotlight entry for Spring 1975 which lists, as some have mentioned above, her last TV work in 'Thursdays Child'.

Hello Jill,

Yes, that is the problem with the IMDB, as originally it started as a movie database which expanded to other audio visual work like TV. Radio and theatre databases/publications are less prevalent but some do exist.

I think you'll find that record is now held by Keith Lemon.

Not Simon Cowell then? ;-)

Does anyone have a photo or screengrab of actor Edward Gardener?

IMDB lists only one appearance in Coronation Street: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3180210/

- and he doesn't appear in any editions of Spotlight I have for the 1960s or 1970s...
