This video is a copy of the 1961 Armchair Theatre production ‘The Man Out There’, which stars Patrick McGoohan (of Danger Man and Prisoner fame) as a cosmonaut stranded in space due to his malfunctioning capsule. It is a tense Cold War/Space Race morality story which sees a Candanian woman the only one receiving his radio signals, and visa versa, necessitating an Easter/West collaboration.
Written by Donald Giltinan, directed by Charles Jarrott and produced by Sydney Newman, this television drama was made by ABC for the ITV network and broadcast on 12/03/61. It runs to 55 minutes and has very good picture quality (the very occasional brief moments of picture instability are symptomatic of the primitive telerecording equipment used at the time to record the live transmission, and do not distract from the programme at all).

This programme has never been commercially released on any video format, making this a rare opportunity to acquire a copy.

POSTAGE
UK: £2
Europe: £3
Elsewhere: £4


Please note: This is a British PAL format video. It will not play in a non-PAL VCR. It will not play with NTSC equipment as used in USA, Canada and some other countries. Please ensure that your equipment is compatible before bidding. I will not refund you if you ignore this caution and find the tape won’t work with your equipment.

PAYMENT
Payment must be made by PayPal ONLY. It must be made in British Pounds ONLY. Do not bid if you cannot pay by this method. Video will be dispatched and feedback left within five working days of payment being made (probably sooner, in fact). Please ensure the shipping address registered with your PayPal account is the right one as I will be automatically informed of it by PayPal and, unless explicitly told otherwise, will use it.

Thanks for looking!

I'm not sure if it's missing or not. Wasn't this mentioned in another thread?

Might be worth a flutter either way.

[dubs]

It exists in the archive on TR16.

[The Seller]

Don't worry - if anything missing came into my hands I wouldn't hesitate to pass it on to the appropriate people (BBC, BFI, or whoever else).

I know I shouldn't really be selling the item on eBay - my only excuse is that I paid a fair few quid for it from a big time pirate recently, along with some other Armchair Theatres, and I want to make a bit of my money back.

[dubs]

Nice one Mr. Seller!

Still I suppose its always worth a look on ebay in case something missing does turn up.

I can appreciate your motivation, Robert, but two wrongs don't make a right, old son.

what is the alternative? that it sits around on some archive shelf somewhere unseen, while various orgs plod along in their own inevetable way and we all die in the long wait?

This episode was shown at the NFT last year (I saw it) so not exactly hidden away in the archives.
Pity they haven't released any Armchair Theatre NFT DVDs though.
