Now I understand the title sandbaggers. They’re always getting roped into things no one else wants to stick their neck out for. ;). The divorce situation adds to the backstory. Working for your ex father in law. Dicey.

In this same series there is a play by Stephen Poliakoff (another creepy/bizarre one called "Hitting Town")... I learned he is the brother of Martyn Poliakoff, whom I have long enjoyed as the frizzy-haired chemist on the KZbin science channel Periodic Videos. I don't know which one I'd rather meet! hahaha

@@nbgackerman For what it's worth I didn't know that Roger McGough was a TV writer until I saw this and was rather surprised to see his name in the credits. He's probably a lot better known for being a poet and as a member of "The Scaffold" a pop group that also had Mike McCartney (brother of Paul) in it.

What a lovely man Roy Marsden sounds - so different from Burnside - but, of course, he's an actor! As Roy says, it would have been nice to be able to see him during his interview. Thanks all the same.

As we discussed before I think you need a special video where we can post miscellaneous comments (such as the one below about David Saville) that don't fit elsewhere.

@simoncurry5336 Ай бұрын

I was doing some research about the "UFO" episode "The Man Who Came Back" for a comment on another You Tube channel which is how I discovered that David Saville was in it as "Hospital Doctor". It's also one of the handful of episodes that Lois Maxwell was in as Commander Straker's replacement secretary Miss Holland because Norma Ronald wasn't available to play Miss Eland.

I suspect the audio on the disc itself is better than how it comes through on youtube. But at least you can check out a few episodes here to see if you really want to buy the blu-ray. It's not the most compelling television, but there are a few fun guest stars :)

"Spitfire!" presented by Raymond Baxter (first broadcast on Sunday on Sunday 9th May 1976 at 15:10 on BBC One and watched by an eight-and-a-half year old yours truly) is on the Wessex Film and Sound Archive KZbin channel. “RJ Mitchell: Aircraft Designer” is the one that William Woollard presented. It was made in 1996 for Channel Four, but I hadn’t heard of it until it was on Talking Pictures TV late last year (2023) and didn’t watch it properly until it was on Talking Pictures TV earlier this year. It is on the Stash Movies KZbin channel and the Educational Movies Daily Motion Channel as “R J Mitchell: The Birth of the Spitfire”. Raymond Baxter and William Woollard were both presenters of the long-running BBC1 science & technology programme “Tomorrow’s World” (1965-2003). I was probably watching that on BBC1 when “Ennal’s Point” was on BBC2. Another “Tomorrow’s World” presenter that became well-known was James Burke. William Woollard also presented “Top Gear” (before Jeremy Clarkson) where he acquired the catchphrase “And drive safely” because he said it at the end of every episode. One of Raymond Baxter’s claims to fame was that his nephew was artist Carl Andrew who did “Equivalent VIII” better known as “The Bricks”.

ITV showed a documentary about the Spitfire at around the same time in the same time-slot. Do you have that one too? BTW it's not the Spitfire documentary that Raymond Baxter presented and it isn't the one that William Woolard presented.

Well, you've seen how it normally looks - most of it was shot on videotape, which was then transferred to film, then back to videotape - with all the dirt and scratches and degradation that go along with that process. If you're ok with the typical lower-quality then I do highly-recommend this one. There is a book also called "The Wilder Way" that goes over all the episodes (of Plane Makers too) - very handy (in fact I used the book to get the MP's name for this clip).

@lukasgracz2452 2 ай бұрын

@@nbgackerman I will definitely buy this series and I know how it sadly looks but I cannot imagine what for someone would put sth on videotape when he transferred it to film already? Did not they want to leave it as good as it looked on film?

@nbgackerman 2 ай бұрын

@@lukasgracz2452 Well most of it was originally shot on videotape, like the early Avengers... but videotape was expensive so they wanted to re-use it, but before doing so they would save the show by literally filming a TV screen playing the videotape (hence you can sometimes see bugs crawling on the screen haha). Then after a while, videotape became cheaper and more ubiquitous so it was transferred from film to videotape. They simply didn't have an eye toward preservation, especially in that era when TV was seen more as an ephemeral stage performance, not something to be kept for posterity. Even those early Avengers were performed live, on stage (like a lot of things in that era) (with very rare filmed inserts between scenes). I don't think Power Game was live, Plane Makers may have been, I'll have to consult my Wilder Way book :)

I should say, maybe Network did get some of the films (i.e. the films of videotapes), I don't know. But most of them are pretty mucky quality. I don't care, it's a fabulous story and dreadfully sexy.
