When are we getting LEGEND OF THE WEREWOLF on Bluray?
"Etoile found himself on the outskirts of a great city", thus allowing for the Pinewood Studios backlot and minimal set dressing. 😅
I do love it though. 🐺

DOCTOR WHO 'Paradise Towers' still my favourite performance by Sylvester McCoy as the Doctor.
Not sure about the dark, unknowable figure of S25 and 26. I preferred him whimsical, like his screen test.
This was the evening of my Sixth Form formal. 😀
Remembrance of the Daleks Part 4 one of the very few DOCTOR WHO eps 1980-89 I didn't see 'live'.
Cracking story. There was hope again!

50 years of Foggy Dewhurst! 🥳
A likeable comic idiot on a par with Inspector Clouseau IMHO. 😄
When 49y/o Lancashire born actor Brian Wilde joined Roy Clarke's LAST OF THE SUMMER WINE in 1976, series ripened into one of the best--and most watched--British sitcoms ever. 🍷

Last of the Summer Wine was back for a new series #OTD 50 years ago, with a new line-up. Michael Bates, who'd played Blamire, left due to health problems, so in came Brian Wilde as Foggy Dewhurst. Rehearsal photo taken in 1976 by Don Smith for @RadioTimes.
RIP actor and writer Walter Koenig, 1936-2016. 🙏
Loved him as Chekov in STAR TREK--in the TV show and the seven movies he made 1978-94 (they should've made more).
"Nuclear wessels" 😄
Enjoyed his turn in THE VOYAGE HOME in the cinema just last month.

Unsold sitcom pilot. Decent review from Variety. Would love to see. #lostmedia

Bochco wrote this in 70s but Peter Falk didn't like. Dusted off and revised yrs later-meantime in '76 it was filmed as a McMILLAN!

THE NEW AVENGERS
Series 1
13 x 52min
Shooting from Mon 29 Mar 1976 for 32 weeks (finishing early Nov).
Each show took approx. 3 weeks to film, and they usually overlapped i.e., wk 3 of one ep was also wk 1 of the next.
Without paperwork, schedule cannot be pinned down exactly. 😞

A jilted husband joins a singles club.
with Jere Burns, Jill Carr
Filmed in front of a studio audience Fri 8 Apr 1988
NBC Thu 6 Oct '88 @ 9pm.
Series ran 4 years, 88 eps.
Penultimate episode of DEMPSEY AND MAKEPEACE, which was only actually on air for 22 months.
I suspect it proved too expensive for LWT, because it certainly wasn't the ratings.
THE GLASS HOUSE, prison drama with Alan Alda.
TV movie, released in cinemas overseas. Filmed Nov '71 on location at Utah State Prison.
Alda flew back to Los Angeles and began rehearsals for the M*A*S*H pilot the next day.
