"Now just one moment, Officer Bolix..." etc.

Check out tonight's episode All That Glitters.

We all know nowadays that the myth of the Captain Pugwash characters has been shown to be false.

But there's a guest character in this one episode of Lost In Space called Security Officer Bolix, and the cast namecheck him several times.

Sorry.

RIP. An important part of the history of TV for a lot of us.

Suzan Farmer, pretty ubiquitous in British TV and films of the 60s, has died aged 75.

633 Squadron, Dracula - Prince of Darkness, episodes of The Saint, UFO, The Persuaders!, Thriller, Blake's 7 etc.

RIP

And yes, didn't he do well?

Sir Bruce Forsyth has died aged 89. RIP

And Rikki Tarr in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

Plus the 1972 Agatha Christie film Endless Night.

I was glad to interview him about 25 years ago when he appeared at the Cambridge Film Festival, to support the launch of a regional film location body.

RIP

Another update on SHADOCON from Starburst magazine.

Yes, there are hundreds of period drama films. What a peculiar question! Also very odd to reference Braveheart, which is basically based on history, and pure fantasy like Highlander in the same bracket. Shall we say, very loosely based? I. All right, loosely based, basically based. Whatever. The po...

There's another update for the forthcoming UFO convention SHADOCon. UFO director Alan Perry is joining the guest list. One of his episodes, The Dalotek Affair, is being screened. The other two episodes to be shown are The Man Who Came Back, and The Sound Of Silence. http://www.starburstmagazine.com/...

Starburst Magazine has posted this update on SHADOCon in their online events section.

http://www.starburstmagazine.com/events ... est-update

Gary Raymond (Col Grey in the episode The Man Who Came Back) is joining the SHADOCon event as a guest.

Sadly, we have to report that Ruric Powell, who was to have been a guest, died recently. SHADOCon plans to screen one of the episodes he wrote - The Dalotek Affair.

I did like the start of The Yukon Affair at HQ. Where it takes three of them to push the trolley with the small stones on it. McCallum in his shades giving a scientific explanation for the stones heaviness/density.

New guest confirmed. Details soon.

All old TV series and films must exist in all sorts of hacked about versions due to the sensibilities of individual TV stations 50 years ago, time to squeeze in more adverts etc.

Tonight's episode The Girl Who Was Death was heavily cut at at least one point. The pub scene has the entire bit missing where he orders and downs a load of stiff drinks so he can vomit and get rid of the poison. It cuts from reading the You have just been poisoned message at the bottom of the glass...

And there's an article in Starburst online for the convention.

New announcement for SHADOCon, the UFO convention at the Quad in Derby on June 3. Proceeds to Cancer Macmillan Support. Shane Rimmer (who appeared in three episodes and voiced Scott Tracy in Thunderbirds) has been announced as one of the guests. http://www.derbyquad.co.uk/special-event/shado-con.aspx

Each episode is being announced as Persuaders! instead of The Persuaders! I know, a minor point.

No, of course it wasn't Store of the Worlds. The parrot is the only thing that might make people think of that one.

It sounds like it could be something by Clifford Simak. It seems his style.

Just saw a review of this release in Sight & Sound.

RIP, he directed two episodes of UFO (now, of course, on blu-ray) - The Psychobombs and The Long Sleep.

The book's fairly decent. Still haven't caught this film version though.
