Splendid Actor, he popped up in a "Gideons Way", a few weeks ago.

Superb in all his cult roles, the three "Who" serials, "Blakes 7" and of course an excellent performance in "Sapphire And Steel", he was right up there with the two stars of the show.

R.I.P.

Afraid so, it's still being shown!

I had assumed ( rightly or wrongly) that the sound tapes were off-airs, although why would one be missing?

It's on YT, under Specsavers little click advert.

The latest Distinct Nostalgia podcast is an interview with Gordon Burns on "The Krypton Factor".

Last weeks was Henry Kelly on "Going for Gold", and previous to that, "The Muppet Show" and a couple on "Eastenders".

Also loved some of the character names, Flora McKitchen .

The Goodies did the best "classical history" joke ever. Well, there isn't a LOT of competition, but still, everyone else went for the obvious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g83Dlwx67Oc And I've watched all extant toga comedies in the world (which often wasn't a pleasure). Since it's clips under 30...

Like this one , you mean? (It was repeated in the Archive on 4 slot last month.) Ooh Ta!...missed that first time around, look forward to that! Well you can't say you weren't told! (See this post earlier in the thread.) Oh yes, I did see that, but just never got round to it, at least you get longer...

ITV started a new Sit-Com last night, between the two "Corrie" episodes. "Kate And Koji" ( Hat Trick) starring Brenda Blethyn and Jimmy Akingbola, written by Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin, set in a café run by Kate and her one customer Koji. It was very good, as you would expect from those writers an...

Trivia :
… after me will come one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry... (Mathew, 3, 11) and possibly adapted for Deep thought!

Sounds very likely...nice spot!

It's about time there was a really decent Radio doc about the whole kit and Kaboodle!

PIF's certainly did work very well, and were entertaining in their own right.

Can't find the Boulevardier one though, is it on the DVD comp?

Hadn't spotted these, thanks!

You get used to all the differences between the series, I quite like all that stuff with Hotblack Desiato, for instance.

...the brilliant episode where they set up a pirate radio station and only had one record to play!'.

A Walk In The Black Forest it was, too!

Yes!...and I still like it!

Absolute Legend! So many wonderful shows and appearances, strangely one thing I always think of him for, was that 'Keep Britain Tidy' PIF, where he joins the youngsters against Litter! Also a lovely early appearance in one of the surviving episodes of "Our House", inadvertently on the receiving end ...

That's very interesting, I got a VCR in the summer of 79, but for some reason only taped the very last one, Sunday teatimes, bit of a come down for the series, they probably weren't very happy about that either! I must have taped some of those repeats as well, and then the LWT series of course ,star...

Mister Fibuli and the Pirate Captain are complicit in a serious of genocides and planetary destruction's that would make the Daleks gasp. Would the Captain really have an "out" with the universe's justice authorities by saying "It's not really my fault! The Queen controlled part of my body like it ...

The Cybermen in Nu-Who have never been used very well, not helped by the fact they are still stomping around like toy soldiers.

The new 'Old style' masks were quite good though.

Also not keen on the way the Master's victims flip about when he uses his TCE on them.

It's funny how certain quotes from old shows stick in one's memory, seemingly forever. One that repeatedly pops in my head, even today, is the one from the episode about the plague of Rolf Harris-es, as mentioned by the previous poster. "Who are you?" "We're THE GOODIES" "Oh. Gordon Bennett!". Even...

the episode where they find religion and Bill Oddie declares he's a Muslim after putting on blackface... that will stay in the vault... in a pretty permanent sort of way.

"Black and White Beauty" is also slightly problematical, but there's a few that would be tricky.

There's an old post ( on a Radio forum) about a couple of 12" 78rpm Acetates with the "Whacko!" theme on them ( 'False Start band 1', 'Wow Start Band 1', both on each disc), dated 3/4/63, which would be for the third radio series presumably, one labelled 'Rehearsal', and the other 'Trans'.

I notice from Laughterlog, there are a fair few scripts surviving for "Whacko!", Ian mentions one he has of the Radio series, comparing them to the recordings might be interesting. I'd hazard a guess that all (or nearly all) scripts would exist at Caversham in some form, but those would be what had...

Thanks for confirming that NEW MATCH/DIME is the same show.

I'd be careful placing too much faith in the RT credits for WHACK-O! though - they are often out of whack, (pun intended), with the recordings.

Yes, it can be a bit confusing, it must have been chaotic at the start of the series.

Not familiar with that series, but a varied list of credits over the years.

R.I.P.

It might not get that far, overnights under 4 million for the finale, despite a Radio Times cover.

Colin Baker once said The Doctor was like the lone cowboy, riding into town, solving the problem and then leaving with no one any the wiser.

Now it's dragged down with all these ludicrous other Doctor episodes and story arcs.

That would mean the only one missing is the very first. No, I don't think that's right. My thinking... 1/1 went out, but then Arthur Howard's arrrest and attendant publicity meant that 1/2 was abandoned completely. Pettigrew was crossed out on the scripts, replaced by Roddy Maude-Roxby's Potter and...

Funnily enough, I was thinking about the front pages of scripts today and their reliability for tx information. Having seen a fair number (cataloguing the Monkhouse papers alone), quite a percentage would have amendments in pencil, either where the intended cast changed at the last minute, or a tx ...

The idea of The Matrix having missing info, has obviously been cribbed from "Trial Of A Timelord", when it's discovered it's been tampered with, which is ironic as that's the series CC complained about on "Open Air" all those years ago. They should do an episode called "Planet Of The Doctors", with ...

I remember that "Planets" series she did for Yorkshire in the early 80's, really good. Her series The Planets was Channel 4. Perhaps you're muddling its origin with her 1981 series Heavens Above! which certainly was produced by Yorkshire Television. I asked for (and got - Yippee!) the accompanying ...
