RTBWTV Review Show August 6th 2023 The Saint Bids Farewell - phone in edition
RTBWTV The Review show August 6th 2023 The Saint Bids Farewell to Black and White -- the phone-in programme......
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 1974's three day week.
Co hosts Guy Morgan and David Newell consider shows that are still available, others that have been lost and some which should have existed and perhaps still could...........
In this edition, we reject all this modern fangled wizardry and return to a taste of the 1960s with our intrepid correspondent phoning in from a far flung outpost (Leeds).
Ok, it was technical problem, but we didn't want to miss the opportunity to wrap up the black and white episodes of The Saint, starring Roger Moore. We review The Saint Bids Diamonds, The Spanish Cow and The Old Treasure Story (or as David and Guy call it, money for old tropes).
We ask:
Did Ed Bishop ever get out of that cellar?
How many switcheroos of real and fake diamonds is too many?
And why is there no giant gorilla on the tropical treasure island?
We also wonder why there are no real equivalents to The Saint, The Avengers and Danger Man nowadays and ask ourselves:
Where do we go next?
As always, rights in all clips belong to the holders and 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 be picked up in full from all good online retailers.
By the way, that "wrong clip" was from Darius Darque, Supernatural Detective! written by David Newell, and if there's popular demand, we can put the whole series back up for global appreciation.
