RTBWTV Review show April 5th 2023
We take a leisurely swim (rather than a deep dive) through the classic television that flickered across the black and white screens of the UK from the Suez crisis of 1956 until the three day week in 1974.
After a longish pre-ramble about their various activities, David and Guy have reviews of three black and white episodes of Roger Moore's Simon Templar, currently going out on the UK's Talking Pictures TV.
Up for discussion:
Just how many times do people want to kill Simon Templar?
In The Contract and The Set Up, there are proper conspiracies to do the deed, but in The Rhine Maiden, it's just because The Saint has inconvenienced a smooth English embezzler and some ex "Narzis."
Also how often should you clean a fish tank?
We complement Roger on his directorial skills, play trope bingo -- but sadly, no title as the last line - and celebrate an acting dynasty.
Plus we muse on the awkwardness of staying in character while interacting with the general public as actors try to earn a crust engaged in promotional work. And we salute Brian Degas, a pioneer who not only wrote The Rhine Maiden, but created Vendetta and brought TV tie in merchandise from 70s TV to the buying public with Colditz related products including an Action Man and a board game that sold half a million copies. Dave reminisces.

The Saint theme and Out To Get You are from the double CD The Music of ITC and there's a smidgeon of Orbital's big screen version which can picked up in full from all good online retailers, as can John Barry (Vendetta) and Pentangle (Take Three Girls).
