The Mausoleum Club Forum

We had a thread on here a while back about potential photo sources like the TV Times, it's just a question of what survives. With "Ace Of Wands", there's photos that appeared in mags like TV Zone, such as the ones from "Nightmare Gas", Tarot holding a skull and so on, and also the set photos from "T...

With The BBC demonstrating their worth during the emergency, you would expect a change of attitude, although hanging on to any sort of standard on TV these days seems to be getting harder and harder. Getting rid of BBC Four, and aiming for a young audience won't do them any favours though, along wit...

A rare talent, to be able to keep up such a standard, with so much material.

R.I.P.

Very sad news, great Actor...and to another generation...Lucien and his Rabbits in "The Liver Birds".

R.I.P.

Interesting piece, I certainly hope it does keep going, it's still one of the best channels around, and there's plenty to watch, that recent doc on "Ready Steady Go" was excellent.

Can't imagine why it gets so much grief, it's quality and innovation speaks for itself.

Looking forward to this one as well, whenever I think of "Man In A Suitcase", the theme automatically plays in my head!

Another one to listen to, sounds most interesting there are some great ones springing up.

Thanks for the info, fascinating stuff. Didn't realise that "Prisoner" thread was that long ago, it certainly was a good one. It would be nice to have more info on trails and commercials, ( as Yellowtriumph mentioned) more details on continuity for instance, apparently Vikki Chambers was a guest ann...

Thanks for the heads up, they are great!

Lets hope the negs still exist, somewhere!, and that there are more from other stories.

Bigger versions have been put up now.

I agree about Studio Drama coming round again, and would love to see it happen, but are there any writers left, who can manage that style of TV?

You can't really tell from the soaps, which is the only example there is at the moment!

I've often wondered about that as well, but I don't think I have ever seen any.

Didn't Simon ( Coward) put something on a thread here about Scheduling "The Prisoner", ATV documentation ?, can't find it though.

I doubt anyone could piece together the mess of the last few years in continuity, good luck to them in trying! Has there been any mention of when they might be filming the next series? ( I know the Dalek special was already completed) but If they do get started later in the year, that may mean an Au...

It would be interesting to know what Lesley Ann Down's thoughts on the episode are and were , at the time, not sure she has ever been asked about it.

I have read the scripts, of the missing episodes, and thoroughly enjoyed them, they did trigger off some memories, such as the scene of Tarot, Sam and Lulli pretending to be kids in the playground and of Mrs Kite being held at Tarot's pad. Also the scene with Tony Selby and Reg Lye with his Taxi, I ...

I'm not sure what's still around from "BT", but I remember Stephanie Lawrence very well, she was a great singer.

She did two excellent half hour specials for The BBC at the time.

You never get anything like that on "Strictly", do you!

They were great shows, all excellent, but "Buccaneers" was a great favourite, they should add that one to the line-up.

This is an interesting one! I Video recorded "Sapphire And Steel" at the time, or rather the Tuesday episodes, the Thursday night episodes were recorded for me by a friend of my Dad's, because I was recording the "Doctor Who" repeats ( "The Pirate Planet" and "The Androids Of Tara") he would let the...

They are showing "SNATLP" again from the "Hughie Green edition onwards, maybe the Roy Orbison one will turn up this time.!

Frustratingly, I can't recall "The Mind Robbers", I know I saw every episode of the series, never missed it, but as it gets further away! I knew I had watched the "Sexton Blake" 1967 Christmas Day special, "The Vanishing Snowman", but couldn't recall details about it, until I read the script that is...

"Doctor Who" was lucky to have "Roger Murray Leach, amazing sets, including "Ark In Space".

Of those set photos presented, I also like the ones for "Hancock's Half Hour" and "Quatermass And The Pit".

Perhaps "Together" holds the record then?

Some more good examples there, "Timeslip" for instance, I always enjoyed the 1985 pilot episode, shame that didn't go any further.

I'd love to see any missing episodes turn up, but preferred series 1, although I would like to see again, the series 3 episode "Say Knife, Fat Man" ( not just because Elisabeth Sladen is in it either) it was a good idea! Memories are fading with time, but shocking moments stay with you, and Toby Wre...

I thought the first episode was the best of the three, but the final episodes climax was very well done, and explains a lot about the character, also setting up questions about the newcomer to the team, but I don't think it has been well received critically has it?...so will there be anymore anyway?

Wot...no "Buccaneers"???

Lots of great shows there though...keep going TPTV!

The fact that I can't even remember much about these episodes, demonstrates their quality ( for me) as it was only a couple of months or so ago.

Ah!...this old chestnut. "To Lay A Ghost" certainly stirs up strong opinions, I have to admit I prefer the first three series as well, but there are creepy moments in this final series. In this episode, the staircase scene is very effective, I thought.( if you want to take something from it!) Not se...

Take a look at these!

Things of beauty.

Yes, it's excellent isn't it, I love the Library music compilations for the various stories.

Also nice to know that the BFI have the two Don Houghton scripts, "Now You See It, Now You Don't" and "Nightmare Gas", presumably rehearsal scripts.

One that springs to mind was the 80's sketch show Three of a Kind with Tracey Ullman, Lenny Henry and David Copperfield . This title was origonally used in the 60's for a show starring Mike Yarwood, Ray Fell and Lulu. Both BBC2? Some more good ones there ( including this one) the Ullman series was ...
