The Wilder Way: Starring Patrick Wymark

The deliberate destruction of Picturehouse Central - London’s best cinema and social space - by its rapacious landlords (the same guys threatening the Prince Charles) is an ongoing disgrace. So upsetting to witness. This place used to be thronged with people working and chatting and socialising.

The Prince Charles, by the way, is the most profitable and successful cinema in Leicester Square.

It’s not about people not going to the pictures. It’s about arseholes.

Whodunnit? - Dead Ball (9th August 1976). William ("Schhh") Franklyn, Sandra Dickinson, TV Times competition winner Paul Malkin and Gordon Honeycombe are on the panel. Anna Barry, Linda Bellingham and Patrick Newell are amongst the suspects.

Well, "everyone" by my standards. I haven't got 2.3K followers.

Maybe...and yet everyone on here is telling me how Chibnall and RTD2 have buggered Dr Who up.

They need to stop this "showrunner" crap and just get a competent producer and script editor.

#RobertShaw with #PatrickWymark and #KennethMore meet #PrincessAnne for BATTLE OF BRITAIN premiere. Shaw had played Cassio in the Old Vic OTHELLO (1951) where Wymark made his debut. In 1952 both took part in an Old Vic tour of South Africa where Shaw married Jennifer Bourke.

Every so often I need reassurance that I'm not missing anything on those streaming platforms. I had a weekend with Netflix while on holiday earlier this year, but booster shots such as this are welcome.

Reminds me of the later Skywald magazines - "War of the Wretched Birds" sounds like something Alan Hewetson would have come up with.

More 1970s Australian horror comic cover art. These look like a mixture of repurposed European illustration and locally sourced art.

Nicely written, but National Assistance had been replaced by Supplementary Benefit (later Income Support) in 1966. Surprised Miller's character didn't say, "Right, I'll get off to the Labour Exchange, first thing in the morning."

Elisabeth Sladen and Brian Miller in an early scene of a 1978 #GranadaTelevision play by Luanshya Greer - 'Beware the Gentle People' (also starring John Carson), an episode of the 'Send in the Girl' anthology series. Beautifully performed, with an 'edge' between the characters clear from the off

Elisabeth Sladen and John Carson face up to heartbreak in both their lives in a poignant two-hander scene from the #GranadaTelevision 'Send in the Girls' 1978 anthology, the episode titled 'Beware the Gentle People'

To think we've just passed the 20th anniversary of the release of this DVD box set of #BrianClemensThriller. I still remember the excitement of finally owning a) decent copies of ALL episodes, & b) all in the original UK broadcast format -well, very nearly. 🙂

"Er, Braman. Calculate how many packs of b-b-bubble gum I would have to buy to get the, er, full set of 72 cards."

Flipchart shaping up with a tiny bit of Supergirl as Lioness vibe for this afternoon’s class at Fred Moore Library in Hull. Also another Thing, whos fun to draw but only if you’ve got an extra spare five minutes.

S.I.G. for Kellogg's Sugar Smacks.

RIP Jim Lovell
‘When I circled the moon and looked back at Earth, my outlook on life and my viewpoint of Earth changed... Earth is a spaceship, just like Apollo & just like Apollo, the crew must learn to live & work together. We must learn to manage the resources of this world with new imagination.’
