RTBWTV Review show June 18th 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.

This time David and Guy kick off their analysis of series 4 of Roger Moore's black and white The Saint with The Checkered Flag, The Abductors and The Crooked Ring.

They ponder:

Is that Justine Lord's real silhouette in the shower or is it someone from Morecambe and Wise?

How many Welsh villains do you get get in 60s adventure series?

And how mild is a "mild nerve gas"?

Plus Guy reminisces about the nightmarish Varga Plants from Dr Who's lost episode Mission to the Unknown and we salute the multi generational Powell family who have provided stunt work on countless small and big screen adventures.

And for the last time in The Saint we play "spot Alan Bennett".
