replied on: 8/30/2005 6:57:16 PM A medium to high suspense series, based on the stories of Algernon Blackwood. Good at times, pathetic quite a bit of the time. Middle of the road stuff, on average. Algernon Blackwood, played by the deep, doom laden sounding voiced John Laurie. ITV 1961 to 1963. Azzabuv. |

replied on: 9/2/2005 2:46:54 PM The myopic adventures of the ignorant and extremly irritable short-sighted cartoon character. It had an unusual attraction in the viewer wanting to see what occurred next to the unfortunate Quincy. Mr. Quincy Magoo/Mother Magoo - Jim Backus. Waldo - Jerry Hausner/Daws Butler. Prezley - Daws Butler/Paul Frees. BBC 1962 to 1964. Azzabuv. |

replied on: 9/9/2005 11:23:58 PM The adventures of the scheming slave, Lurcio. Close to the 'navel' language. The 'plots' soon became 'readable' in advance though. It turned boring. Lurcio - Frankie Howerd. Senna (pod!) - Jeanne Mockford. Plautus - Walter Horsburgh/William Rushton. Ammonia - Elizabeth Larner. Ludricus - Max Adrian/Wallis Eaton. Ambrosia - Lynda Baron. Erotica - Georgina Moon. Nausias - Kerry Gardner. Flavia - Mollie Sugden. Odius - John Junkin. BBC1/BBC2 1969 to 1972. Comedy. Azzabuv. |

replied on: 9/9/2005 11:40:38 PM Good old Eliot Ness, head of the incorruptible Chigago based 'G-Men'. Their arch enemy - the dreaded Al Capone. Gangster hunters of the American Prohibition era and set in the 1920s/30s. It was, at the time, described as one of the most violent TV shows ever broadcast - its National unofficial name being "The weekly Bloodbath show". 80% of the time, very enjoyable and exciting viewing. Narrator - Walter Winchell. Eliot Ness - Robert Stack. (Great Actor). Agent Martin Flaherty - Jerry Paris. Agent William Longfellow - Abel Fernandez. Agent Enrico Rossi - Nick Georgiade. Agent Cam Allison - Anthony George. Agent Lee Hobson - Paul Picerni. Agent Rossmann - Steve London. Frank Nitti - Bruce Gordon (Al Capone Gang). ITV 1966 to 1969. Crime. Azzabuv. |

replied on: 9/11/2005 1:43:26 PM I thought he was supposed to be insane at the beginning of the program and afterwards, it was all about them trying to regain his sanity for him via those dreaded balloons Etc. in a sanitorium. Wierd. I lost my confused, amazed interest in the show after the second part. Azzabuv. |

replied on: 9/18/2005 1:49:20 PM Coronation Street Based very much on the style of the kitchen sink drama seen on Armchair Theatre, Coronation Street was first broadcast live at 7.00pm on 9th December 1960. 40 years on, and with an average viewing audience of 18 million, "Corrie" is the most successful and longest running drama series in the world. Originally to be called Florizel Street until a tea lady at Granada, where it was being developed, pointed out that Florizel sounded like a lavatory cleaner, Coronation Street was the brain-child of former child actor and adaptor of Biggles stories, Tony Warren. Set in the fictional Manchester district of Weatherfield. *************************************** i have heard there is a pub in derbyshire that has the first original script that tony warren wrote for the street. |

replied on: 9/18/2005 1:57:23 PM Captain Mainwaring Occupation.Dad's Army. ************************************* Arthur Lowe was born in Hayfield, Derbyshire on September 22nd 1915.In 1960 Arthur was offered three episodes of a new series for Granada Television. The part was Leonard Swindley in Coronation Street and Arthur would play the role for the next seven years. What was a good move professionally turned out to be something of a bad move personally.In a little over twenty years Arthur Lowe appeared in over fifty films, was constantly in demand, and reached the top of his profession when he created one of the most enduring roles on television. In the process he coined a national catchphrase ‘stupid boy’ that is still uttered today with the adoption of Captain Mainwaring’s pompous tone. ****************************************** |

replied on: 12/4/2005 1:15:41 PM For The Children had begun as a five-minute slot in 1946 and was introduced by Annette Mills (sister of actor Sir John), and 'starred' Muffin The Mule, a wooden horse that stood atop a grand piano. The pair proved so popular that they were given their own series and were joined by Oswald The Ostrich, Mr Peregrine The Penguin, Prudence and Primrose Kitten, Sally The Sea-Lion, Louise The Lamb and Monty The Monkey. Muffin's strings were pulled by puppeteer Ann Hogarth who had bought him for just 15 shillings (75p). Muffin's last TV appearance with Annette Mills was in 1955, just days before she died. By that time the BBC had installed the regular 1.30 pm Tuesday to Thursday slot consisting of Andy Pandy, The Flowerpot Men, and Rag, Tag and Bobtail. In 1955 these were joined by Picture Book (Monday) and The Woodentops (Friday). |
