Talking of Arthur/Bill Treacher … ? And assuming you don’t mind me mentioning … ? I’ve an EastEnders quiz on the 19th February … … … Um …

Enjoyed watching vintage films and tv.managed box set on dvd for my vintage tv collection

Kaz Garaz came to prominence in an ITC Canadian show called 'Seaway' only in one episode but his character goes over Niagara Falls in a barrel to escape the mob.ruclips.net/video/ekIA43OKgDA/видео.htmlsi=67V0FFtpbU4DGxUb

4:03 - if it was intended for the US market, prob got cut down from 22 to 26 eps

The definitive Holmes, amazing series. He should of been Doctor Who!

I always love these kinds of reviews because all the actors from my youth pop up in different roles, plus you see some that became much greater household names when they were still on the lower rungs of the ladder. John Thaw being a case in point.

Never seen it in a re release box set 🤔🤔

Right … the chap on the left at 4 minutes and 27 seconds … ? Isn’t that the chap that plays De Flores, the Nazi leader, in Silver Nemesis?

A great book and a great TV series. Highly recommended. Love the scenes with Peter Egan (Pym) and Rüdiger Weigang (Axel). Still have the book and the DVDs.

I distinctly remember this being shown 'late night' (10:30 - 11:00-ish) on New Zealand television back in about 1973 or 1974. I don't think it was wildly successful, but New Zealand television wasn't particularly good back then - Coronation Street was 5 YEARS behind the episodes shown in the UK. It's not particularly good now, far too woke, with DEI hires all over the place, but these are the times in which we live!

tomorrow people bro

The X Files connection is possibly a good one: but The Omega Factor sounds more like it influenced the X-Files spin-off, Millennium. AND like a cross between Doom Watch and The Stone Tape. (Apparently, some real world paranormal researchers take the Stone Tape seriously: and feel it to be a good explanation for ghosts)

I remember this from years ago. It was excellent. I must try and hunt it down and watch it again.

Wasn’t Sapphire and Steel’s last Adventure aired by a different ITV company …

As I recall … ? Brett’s wife died when he was recording some of the earlier episodes: it’s supposed to have given his performance a certain amount of … *intensity*. (‘Intensity’ is possibly the best choice of word, I think: where’s probably very few words to describe the situation)

Is it just me … or does Prentice Hancock only get cast if you need a chap with a moustache … ? Unless you need a Thal without a moustache … ?

It’s a Le Carré adaption, you say … ? That should make it interestingly murky. I don’t know about autobiographical, though. I SEEM to recall seeing Dame Stella Rimington - or possibly Dame Eliza Mannington Buller - being interviewed about spy fiction: and saying that Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy had the folks at 6, *worried*. It seemed Le Carré had revealed a little too much … (I have to admit, Le Carré introducing the term ‘reptile fund’, to the public … is something I’m grateful for. It seemed a lot more accurate than ‘slush fund’ or ‘black funds’)

Interesting to see Anthony Ainley playing something OTHER than the Master! (I mentioned him to a couple of my quiz regulars, back in January. It seems his father, Henry, was a noted actor in his day. There’s even a photo of Ainley Sr on Henry’s Wikipedia entry: and the resemblance is noticeable.) Now … did Roger Lloyd-Pack call anyone ‘Dave’ … ?

I’m tempted to say “I love Dick”. But that would; A. Be a lie, as I never saw it. B. Sound a bit rude!!!!!!!! At any rate I never saw the show: but know my late Uncle Brian was a fan of the original series. I do know that theme tune, though. I can remember hearing The Devil’s Gallop a few times as a youngster, but I’m blowed if I can remember *where* … ! I’m also feel that the music for the Fifteenth Doctor puts me in mind of it: whether that’s deliberate, I don’t know.

in a domestic situation, or HAVING a domestic situation?

That's earthquake or jesus coming to earth
