Wonderful Francis Matthews, enjoyed him in the Paul Temple series and I think married to the actress Angela Browne. Thank you.👍

"Aaahh, Francis Matthews!" sneered Paul Temple to his wife Steve. "That's the man who played me on TV at the end of the Sixties and the start of the Seventies!" Steve nodded. "Peter Coke played me on radio as you know, but not after 1968. I don't know why the radio chappies never made any more, Coke lived for another 40 years so he was able to if he'd ever been asked! By Timothy, it's 2025 now and I'm still angry about it!" Steve shrugged. Just then, Charlie walked into the room, caught the angry glare in Temple's stare, and rushed out to put his clothes on. "Who would you like to play you on TV, dear?" Steve asked. "They should raid the Doctor Who repertory company" he replied. "That David Tennant as me, Jenna Coleman as you, and Peter Capaldi as Sir Graham!"

Alan Dobie had the most lovely voice of any actor working back then.

No, Roger Livesey was better, IMO.

Fine cast. Aubrey Morris can act creepier than anyone. Bleedin' anglophile Yank, was in England 1964. Was in Scotland, Wales, Cornwall...Nessie ate my sister. Small loss, large meal. Mice and Men couldn't patch her back together again. And finely Finlay Currie as a side dish, for the treat. My ainself said it. Like HG Haggard's Umslopogaas, "I have spoken." Ain't said much....we Yankees, we spin and spin, and only homespun in the end. In patches. No peat in me whisky, an' it please thee. Or not. Manyway, mean what I know? Now?? Or agley? We flew over Eire. It's green. We thank the blimey Limies.

I love the opening transitions through the various characters. One drops a cigarette pans to them stubbing it out pans up to a different character who just did the same then they look at their watch switch to close up of a watch on a wrist zoom out to two new characters embarrassing. I'm using that opening sequence if I ever do a live action story instead of just radio dramas.

Wow! A young Judy Dench. Well I can see why she got her start (acting ability aside) she has the quintessential 1960s model look for sure. I wonder if she ever thought she'd be a Dame Of The British Empire or that she would have made it as far as she has in her acting career back then? She probably wouldn't be have thought you were nuts to tell her that. Christ imagine telling people in the Roman or medieval eras that the monarchs of our time would be knighting actors and fairly frequently too. You'd be lucky to be labeled crazy if not executed by fire

This is great, just wish the sound could be cleaned up

@machfiver753 29 күн бұрын

this looks like it's based in part to that Viking burial ship they found on that chicks land in Southern England. It was recently made into a movie starring Ralph Fiennes

Lovely. Only the Scotland Yard detective was a little goofy

I'd have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for you pesky archeologists.

No one thought about the old tramp lady in the cave in the end... and the tied up and knocked out policeman at some house. I hope it was written in as a PS at the end of the script that someone should look for them.

@terencemichaels Ай бұрын

Can someone enlighten me? Is there a chunk missing? What about the knocked out policeman for instance? Confused...

All the production values of a 'Thunderbirds' episode - obviously fake sets, guns that flash but don't fire, then fire and don't flash, village hall drama dialogue, skimpy underwear -- great fun! 😂

@geoffreybloomfield3936 Ай бұрын

It's very much like a stage play (which I like)

@jeangilbride5178 Ай бұрын

I was astonished, but also greatly appreciative of the skimpy underwear! I may have to rewatch it just for that!

Some of these copies have very loud background noise as if recorded on an old machine with one of those automatic record levels that amplify the background when people aren’t talking.. I’ve noticed it on other vintage tv channels. The original sound would be much better. I wonder how these were copied?

@ClassicBritishTelly Ай бұрын

They're survivors, with bruises to show for a hard life in many cases. There's a lot that could be done restoration wise if the will (and funding) was there!

@TheAndrewJBaker Ай бұрын

Wonderful survivors - but the background noise shouldn’t be on the original telerecording. I’m sure that’s the effect of whatever sort of video recorder it was copied onto that had an automatic record volume. It needs a volume you can set for the whole thing. The problem was worse in something else I saw where the record volume goes up when noone’s speaking so you got loud traffic noise in what would have been a silence. It would be interesting to know how and when these things were copied from the telerecording and why so much old tv stuff has suddenly started to appear on KZbin!
