'ITV Playhouse' only began in 1977. Before that there was a play strand on ITV called 'Playhouse' which ran 1967-1974, then revived in the early-80s.
'TV Brain' (without a paid subscription) only lists the titles that are missing in one way or another - totally or surviving on inferior formats or only partially. It does NOT individually list the surviving episodes

A great Christmas gift idea - or maybe a self-treat stocking filler for fans of 'The Avengers', 'The Professionals' and many more TV shows and films ... A 90 minutes conversation (originally conducted in 2011) with Brian Clemens, the screenwriter/producer famous for much cult/fantasy/suspense-thriller television and film, has just been publishe available worldwide in printed form, exclusively from lulu books at this link In Conversation with Brian ClemensRunning some 48 pages in itself, the unexpurgated interview us broken down by subject heading, is annotated throughout for context and fully indexed. In his trademarked freewheeling style, with Brian’s sense of humour shining through, numerous subjects are covered from the screenwriter’s view on how Shakespeare constructed his narratives through to adventures in a hayloft with Kelly McGillis via personal events like sharing a Guinness with Max Wall in Brighton on tour. References and reminiscences as to most of Brian’s major television and film work and many people he worked with, including fellow scribes Dennis Spooner and Terry Nation and composer Laurie Johnson, are also highlighted. Also included are: • A full introduction, background to the conversation and explanatory notes • An illuminating foreword by Brian’s son Samuel Clemens – ‘For the Thrill of It’ • Bonus material includes ITC publicity for Brian himself and his anthology series ‘Thriller’, trade and foreign press clippings and other visual material • Full colour cover photo courtesy of the Clemens family Until Dec 31st 2021 or sale of the first 50 copies – whichever comes first – the book is being made available at a reduced introductory price (below £10). Promotional offers by lulu books during this period will provide additional discount.

Much of this is true. By far the most successful British anthology series in the US was 'Brian Clemens Thriller' which was both networked on the ABC network over 5 years (premieres and multiple repeats) and then syndicated over another 15 years of so to individual stations, wracking up over 13 000 individual local screenings - source 'A THRILLER in Every Corner' by Martin Marshall linkOther than that, apart from ABC broadcasts of 'Journey to the Unknown' as mentioned and 'Orson Welles Great Mysteries' co-funded with an American partner (Unicorn Films) and pitched into syndication via the 'Prime Time Access' slot, the only other anthology that had extensive syndication success was 'Tales of the Unexpected' (overall probably the second in success terms to 'Thriller' Just about every other British anthology never aired at all in the States as far as can ascertained by historic newspaper billings even when there was an American funding partner - like 'Dial M for Murder' and Warner Bros TV. With respect, although much of what you say is true, Dial M for Murder was broadcast in the US by ABC on 11/11/1967 (prior to UK transmission) as part of their ABC Stage 1967 format. I was referring to the 1974 BBC/Warner 'Dial M for Murder' anthology series, not the Diane Cilento/Laurence Harvey TVM of 1967 based on the Frederick Knott play Dial M for Murder (1974)

I'd be keen to read any more information on the above if someone knows more ? Thanks... The US is a very difficult market to get into,..even 'Thunderbirds' only got a very limited syndicated screening of some of the episodes at the time. Imports from the UK were mainly personality driven (Diana Rigg,Roger Moore etc)so it is unlikely an anthology series with mainly unknown (to them) British actors would have got airtime.Especially being made on tape and all the conversion and subsequent degradation problems of the era. This was the difference with 'Journey to the Unknown' this had familiar (to both sides of the Atlantic) US actors in the lead and was even sometimes presented with a host in the USA. Much of this is true. By far the most successful British anthology series in the US was 'Brian Clemens Thriller' which was both networked on the ABC network over 5 years (premieres and multiple repeats) and then syndicated over another 15 years of so to individual stations, wracking up over 13 000 individual local screenings - source 'A THRILLER in Every Corner' by Martin Marshall linkOther than that, apart from ABC broadcasts of 'Journey to the Unknown' as mentioned and 'Orson Welles Great Mysteries' co-funded with an American partner (Unicorn Films) and pitched into syndication via the 'Prime Time Access' slot, the only other anthology that had extensive syndication success was 'Tales of the Unexpected' (overall probably the second in success terms to 'Thriller' Just about every other British anthology never aired at all in the States as far as can ascertained by historic newspaper billings even when there was an American funding partner - like 'Dial M for Murder' and Warner Bros TV.
