I never really knew who she was (being a British teenager) until Kermit the frog enthusiastically introduced her at the start of an episode of 'The Muppet Show' back in 1976 I think it was. From then on, she was logged in my mind along with all the other American comedians that the show introduced m...

Ubiquitous US character actor.

Another UFO regular, and also in the Radio 2 soap Waggoners Walk.

Remembered, among other things, from The Prisoner 'It's Your Funeral'.

Passed away last month aged 80.

Doctor Who fans are likely to remember her from 'Seeds of Death', Patrick Troughton era.

I remember Louise from two episodes of UFO - 'Kill Straker!' and 'Court Martial'.

US actress who starred in one episode of Brian Clemens 'Thriller' series ('In the Steps of a Dead Man'), recorded at ATV Elstree in 1974, has passed away aged 74. Was married to Superman producer Ilya Salkind. www.hollywoodreporter.com/amp/news/skye-aubrey-actress-in-the-carey-treatment-and-batman-d...

Alf Garnett, yes you're right. I remember everyone called it that. I think the Daily Mirror used to list "The Phil Silvers Show" as "Sergeant Bilko" when it was on BBC1? Wasn't it remade into a film in 1996 with Steve Martin, where they did officially call it "Sgt Bilko"? The other series I remember...

To my surprise, I once heard someone say Mr Who instead of Dr Who, but that was a one off.

An oft misspelled title of a series in print media, Captain Scarlett.

It's an interesting thought Andrew. It does make you wonder what 'Star Cops' would have looked, and more importantly, have felt like. Some shows though I feel work better on tape. Brian Clemens 'Thriller' for example. This series has always worked for me, and one I think they got right from the word...

Can be seen on Britbox, but unfortunately they only stream at 25fps progressive, so it will look 'filmised'. Yes, I've had a look at a couple online and have noticed that. At least you can view it in the proper ratio though. I've recently hopped on another thread elsewhere and someone has posted a ...

I remember watching...and enjoying...Star Cops, and had hoped there would be more of it. Alas it wasn't to be.

I don't think it was ever repeated either...was it?

I think it was Simply that were responsible for DVD releases from the Merton Park studios (Scotland Yard,Edgar Wallace etc) a decade or so back when they had been out of TV circulation for some time and Network hadn't released them...they too looked like it was a camcorder/old school projector job....

I will nominate the wartime series Pathfinders. Although I have mixed feelings about the series itself, it could certainly do with an upgrade. I suppose we should always be grateful when an obscure TV show such as this is released at all, but really, the 16mm film transfers in the currently availabl...

I've recently bought, and am enjoying watching, the Bluray release of The Zoo Gang.

And this is all thanks to the podcast.

Jaz's fun approach, his frank and honest discussion with his guests, certainly give me the inspiration I need to go and watch the shows again.

:-)

She also had a very distinctive voice, instantly recognisable behind the 'ape' make-up in the Planet of the Apes TV series.
She had two separate, and very memorable roles - playing Zantes in 'The Good Seeds', and Dr Kira in 'The Surgeon'.

Only watched her last night in the Steven Spielberg film Duel.

I loved his character in Danger UXB...Sgt James. He had some lovely dialogue in it.

I have rarely seen Target since it was originally on, but I do remember enjoying it and I liked Patrick Mower. It was all shot on film for one thing, and not a lot of other BBC produced content was. So it stood out from all the other cheaper looking VT programmes. It was also unusual because it was ...

Also, will we ever see "Target", perhaps one of the last really problematical titles. Are there rights issues with Target? Why is it problematical? I thought it was a very gritty series for the BBC in its day, and I'm guessing it was made as an attempt to rival The Sweeney. Yet it seems there has n...

Another very entertaining listen. Recommended.

I've signalled my interest. I was about to dig the series out for another watch soon anyway. I think something like this is a great idea to get people involved and chatting about the series again. Let's hope more are free to join in.

Episode 3 - Man In A Suitcase is available now https://jazwiseman.podbean.com/e/itc-entertained-the-world-episode-3-man-in-a-suitcase/ Marvellously entertaining edition. Again, it's just so good to hear a podcast that's full of solid content and discussion. It's driven by knowledge, understanding a...

Caught an unexpected glimpse of it for the very first time during an umptieth viewing of The Sweeney first series episode 'Cover Story', mostly filmed around that part of Kensington.

I know this is drifting a little bit from the topic of the audio, but looking at the Wikipedia entry for Timeslip online I've noticed this... "Timeslip was first broadcast on Friday evenings at around 5:10-5:15pm in the ATV region with the other ITV regions broadcasting the series on the following M...

The Carlton DVD set was my first exposure to Timeslip in colour. Up to then, It hadn't even occurred to me that it was originally transmitted so, despite having watched every episode 'when it was first on'. Like you, I only saw the first broadcast of TIMESLIP in 1970-71 in black and white, although...

Just a general technical question. Does anyone know if the telerecordings of the science fiction serial Timeslip use a magnetic soundtrack? I've seen telerecordings with an optical soundtrack but they usually sound quite poor. But with the telerecordings of timeslip they sound especially good. Perh...

A very touching post Mr Wolf. Thank you for sharing an obviously treasured experience. Now please excuse me while I go to wipe away a few more tears. News of his passing is all the more shocking to me knowing this dreadful virus played a hand.
