Boyd QC

[Stuart Douglas]

I've only seen a couple of episodes of this 50s court drama, but loved them both, so delighted to see three more recoveries announced by Tim Disney.

Boyd Q.C. - Hit and Run. (Complete) 4/3/1957
The Old Flame (Complete) 31/5/1961 TR35/0I/ID/470
Boyd Q.C - (Unidentified) (First few minutes missing) This appears to be either The Samurai Killing - TX 17/2/1959 or Death On Tap TX 3/8/1961. This will be confirmed once transferred.

Also a couple of episodes of Badger's Bend, and the original print of the episode of HMS Paradise which has been out in the wild amongst collectors for a while.

"As part of our work we're doing for Fountain Studios forthcoming celebration of Wembley studios that will mark the closure of this historic site later this year, I have been inspired to finally make an effort to get the Rediffusion haul from last year digitised and correctly identified. So, I've booked some time off work where I work with film and videotape all day to errrr work with more film and videotape all day! Obviously, it's a labour of love." - Tim Disney

Actually, I wonder if there's enough extant episodes now for Network to do a release?

While it would be good to get Boyd QC on DVD - for me it would be even better to get Badger's Bend which was my favourite TV programme before Doctor Who came along!

That's My Boy!
Well,they've been known to release the one or two surviving episodes of Our House,Knight Errant,and That's My Boy,so I don't see why not.Trouble is-if trouble is the right word-there seems a good chance that there are more Boyds out there.Today's wonderful announcement,the bit of an episode uploaded recently,and the intro to another uploaded for an hour or so a couple of years ago...Assuming that the last two aren't duplicated by the recent discoveries?

This was the post by Ray:
Found by the esteemable Lance Meenach - Boyd Q.C - just an extract 'At The Third Stroke'.

""Missing episode in programme BOYD Q.C..

Series 1
18.03.57 At The Third Stroke (missing)""

Lostshows don't give anything for 'Boyd'.One has to search for 'Boyd Q.C.:

www.lostshows.com/default.aspx?programme=866a39b8-944f-41bb-b784-bf7f5f33085d

At the moment it says:

"Out of an original total of 82 episodes, 70 episodes are missing and a further 5 are incomplete."

Lostshows has Badgers Bend (no apostrophe) : www.lostshows.com/default.aspx?programme=48c6551d-3128-4ecd-bba5-7a2f1eafaf69

"Out of an original total of 38 episodes, 26 episodes are missing." Which I assume will be updated.
