RTBWTV Review show January 8th 2023

We take a leisurely New Year 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.

Co hosts Guy Morgan and David Newell consider the first three black and white episodes of series three of The Saint which is currently being broadcast by Talking Pictures TV on UK Freeview channel 82:

The Miracle Tea Party, Lida and Jeannine.

We ask:

Why doesn't Wikipedia mention Simon Templar's role in bringing down the Portland spy ring?

How does a nightclub parking valet change gears with a false hook for a hand?

And is that old wives' tale about pearls dissolving in wine solely down to the inventor of the Daleks?
