RTBWTV Review show February 13th 2023
We take a leisurely swim (rather than a deep dive) through the classic television that flitted across the black and white screens of the UK from the Suez crisis of 1956 until the three day week in 1974.
After the final, final word on The Return of The Saint, we have reviews of the black and white episodes of Roger Moore's Simon Templar, currently going out on the UK's Talking Pictures TV.
This week, co hosts Guy Morgan and David Newell consider The Loving Brothers, The Man Who Liked Toys and The Death Penalty.
What trope do all of these three have in common? Did the film crew really go to the Australian Outback? Where do The Brooke Bond Chimps fit into brutal boardroom bust ups? And who wins in the battle of the white tuxedos?
There's also mention of The Four Just Men and The Twilight Zone -- also to be found on UK multi channel television.
