RTBWTV May 7 2023 Review Show -A Terry Nation double
RTBWTV Review show May 7th 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 pre-Coronation delay, lest they inadvertently gave away any security details, David and Guy are back with reviews of two Terry Nation scripted black and white episodes of Roger Moore's Simon Templar, currently going out on the UK's Talking Pictures TV.
And being Terry Nation, flag bearer for popular science fiction on 60s television, we have the Inescapable Word -- where a crazed scientist at a remote Scottish research station has invented a ghastly gadget. Will Simon save the world? Will he be assisted by a blonde woman in her 20s about 5 feet six inches tall?
And should there be a tighter audition process for dogs?
Plus who played Steed in screen tests to find Diana Rigg's replacement in The Avengers? Here's a YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmjvEDKhRkQ
Then, to show he didn't just do science fiction, Terry pens a ripping yarn in The Sign of the Claw. Simon quashes a communist takeover in South East Asia and nearly dies in the process - a dozen times.
And who should we expect to see taking the lead in such shenanigans?
Step forward, Burt Kwouk, - we celebrate his talent and contribution to British television as well as comedy on the big and small screen.
If you like the show, please write a review on your podcast provider's site and tell other people to tune in.
Copyright in all clips and music belong to the rights holders and they are used for educational purposes.
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, and we include clips of Burt's contributions to Harry Hill's show on Channel 4.
