Managed to catch the Saturday screening of "No Hiding Place" on TPTV, most enjoyable and a great cast in it as well.

Recovered by TPTV from... a private collector!...lets hope they come up with more goodies.

They did.

I caught a bit of Budgie the other night. I didn't see it all but got the gist the Charlie Endell had lumbered him with some illegal Pakistani immigrants. I thought yes well that would have just been how it was in 1971 with the then illegals pouring in...However there was one line Budgie said near ...

The problem with recovering missing *radio* is that while *we* are interested in the classic DJs and their patter and gags, most people recording 40, 50, 55, years ago only wanted the music. Also a lot of tapes will have been recorded over or thrown out. Also when an elderly person has died, their ...

And apart from the LotR radio drama, may I also mention his impressive performance in The Browning Version?

I wonder if anyone with non-Dr Who missing material is worried about a flurry of "You Don't have any Dr Who?", "If you have that you MUST have some" pestering from the psychotic part of fandom. As i said, there is an excellent reason why the Australian man or woman who filmed those 8mm DW cine-clip...

There are missing Doctor Who episodes in private hands but, as illustrated by the cine-clips person choosing to be nameless, they wisely don't want the attention of the psychotic part of DW fandom

Yes; but that is strictly speaking a different subject.

That's why most of us are still on faecesbook even though we all know the stuff they've done, or are doing even.

Speak for yourself. I won't join Facebook on principle.

Okay, but it was a general comparison; I didn't mean that that was fully identical to returning missing programs to the BBC.

Right so it's "only" one recovery then. Also some have been treated badly in the past (no thanks and courier fees not reimbursed), or know others who have, so won't return on principle. Yeah, but they're punishing others. And people who on principle refuse to deal with the BBC, for reasons of their...

OK, now I'm getting a bit worried. Laughing at serious stuff can bring great release. The Producers and all that... Total class. If Joe Orton had written it, there would have been no problems. (Although it wouldn't have reached so large an audience). Well I think it was recently proven that you can ...

Yes, that's why I revived the old thread. But murphy1961 appeared to be under the impression that it was a recent thread and that the issue was that the programme had been cut, not that it had been removed completely. Might be better to start a brand new thread about it. Perhaps I'll do so tomorrow...

As far as I know both cases are about exactly the same lines. It's not even crystal clear that it's Basil and the Major that are being made fun of. Not every viewer will realise the irony that it's the two most incompetent characters in the entire series that are looking down here on women and minor...

Funny, he agreed with the removal of the offending lines when it was repeated on TV.

If the USA would have gotten their act together, none of this would have happened.

I suspect that it's become a casualty, ironically, of certain countries being not correct enough.

Obtained in Bristol, in a collection of travelogue films. Another example of the gems that still turn up! Oh right, so unrelated to youtube then? In that case there might even be two! Stuff is still reported in. On the Doctor Who front, there's at least 6 episodes that collector(s) won't return - m...

Yeah I believe it was simply uploaded on youtube by someone who had a film copy...

Probably me failing to convey what I meant. Having read the Avengers Forum thread, what I understood is best explained in the same way they did: The camera recorded a larger canvas than was going to be used on screen. Anything outside of the screen canvas size was the 'dead space' I was referring t...

I think I have been answered elsewhere though. :) Why not share that insight with us here. Once I'm able to repeat the information coherently and fully grasp it... The dead space you mention - well that won't work if anything is coming into, or moving out of, view. Which is probably why Babylon 5 f...

To be honest, none of these replies deal with what I had in mind. I was thinking of how some series from the 1990s can suddenly find extra surface for their widescreen versions rather than guillotining top and bottom off. I think I have been answered elsewhere though. :)

Is there perhaps someone who knows the following? Bear in mind it's a bit detailed, and it may not apply to the UK at all!! In the nineties, American TV series would still be shot on film, right, but like this (correct if wrong): A 35 film cell would contain a lot more space on all sides, almost as ...

This is a Forum for discussing television entertainment of yore. It is NOT for the purpose of attacking individuals whose views do not coincide with your own pre-conceived notions.

Oh sorry, I thought that maybe you would enjoy it. ;)

Haha, see what I did there?

With "To Lay A ghost" though, the writer must have got the idea from somewhere, rather than just attempting to shock, as he's not around now, we may never know. He may have come across such an incident in real life. I did, years ago, and it was so extraordinary that, had I been a writer, I should c...

With "To Lay A ghost" though, the writer must have got the idea from somewhere, rather than just attempting to shock, as he's not around now, we may never know. We wouldn't usually say that about OOTU, but I guess it's a possibility. Still, there are two reasons why I don't believe that that possib...

If there is a way to delete it do you think I should? Or does anyone want to continue discussing? You could use the report button if it really bothers you. Although you are hardly responsible for what others write even if you started a thread. As a comment on the thread, I've seen worse. Although i...

I'm not getting involved in this argument but all I did was create a thread talking about how I like some of the horror elements of series 4 and now this is happening. Please everyone calm down I preferred the time when there was a moonlanding denial discussion. At least that was perfectly harmless...

For someone who is 'done here', you have a lot to say for yourself. I'm certainly not going to divulge 'pillow talk' for your vicarious imagination. Just accept that there are more things in life than any one individual can comprehend, and be grateful that we live in an age where we are STARTING to...

Not glorified. Addressed. Right, "addressed" with the message that some women may enjoy rape. Face it, it's just sick. If you're so keen on dealing with social issues, then do five minutes of reading up on the subject. In a lifetime of personal experience, one hears, often first-hand, the most extr...

Addressed.

Right, "addressed" with the message that some women may enjoy rape. Face it, it's just sick.

If you're so keen on dealing with social issues, then do five minutes of reading up on the subject.

Wife-beating. Another taboo subject for many years. Thankfully, there were people bold enough to address it. Are you deliberately trolling here, or am I really not getting the message through that abuse should not be glorified? Which it IS, if a program depicts rape as a positive experience? Maybe ...

The best writing, in any medium, often comes with the broaching of 'difficult' issues. Depends on the meaning of "best". Well-made ""difficult"" issues could also be said to include stuff like Birth of a Nation. I see no evidence to link it to moral superiority. I didn't think it was a good episode...
