At Number 31 of the 65 is Jonah And The Whale 28/12/75 60 minutes. Cast: Rodney Bewes, Shirley Steedman, Martin Cochrane, Mary Riggans, Paul Kermack,
Bryden Murdoch, Mary Ann Reid, John Sheddan, Stassis Stakir, David Stewart, Jan Wilson, John Young.
At Number 61 0f the 65 is Tobias And The Angel 23/12/73 50 Minutes. Cast: John Alderton, Wilfred Brambell, Madeline Christie, Chris Harris as Tobias, Ian Ireland,
Christine McKenna, Calum Mill, Garry Slavin. UK IMDB has this as an ITV Play Of The Week..is this correct? If it is correct was this shown right across the ITV
Network, increasing the chance it is held in another ITV station archive?
Both these were shown by ATV, so are these existing in the, as yet, uncatalogued, ATV archive?
Both these had the same Director, Tina Wakerell, who I cannot seem to find out, if she is still alive? Both these had the same Producer, Liam Hood, who uk imdb
says was head of Light Entertainment for Scottish Television and brother to actress Morag Hood. uk imdb says he died in 1975?
Both these had the same Writer(s)..James Bridie, adapted by Ronald Mavor. When I say that James Bridie was born Osborne Henry Mavor, we can see that, Ronald is the son of Osborne aka James Bridie. Is there now a Trust that tends to the affairs of these 2 family playwrights and within those affairs do copies of
both Jonah And The Whale and Tobias And The Angel exist as these televised plays? Does anyone reading this know if there is a body looking after such affairs
and can they ask such a Trust if they hold copies of these 2 Scottish Television broadcasts please..

With regards to the adventures of Francie and Josie.
I believe that this was also shown on Border, Grampian and Ulster tv.
Would these have been shown at the same time or would the tapes / film be sent over at a later date ?.
Just might be worth checking out the Ulster / Border archive if they did.

The following might be from Number 18 of the 65, Happy As Larry 1959, although the lady introducing(unknown) says ' and now The Larry Marshall Show. The upload is by STVScotland, so they must have this in their archive, hopefully the whole episode. The entire upload is 3.40 minutes long, and 'and now The Larry Marshall Show begins at 2.34 minutes to 3.04 minutes. The wording underneath is The Heritage of Glasgow's Theatre Royal. It was uploaded 4 years ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCNvpIxpv2s |

Ian You are absolutely correct about The Adventures Of Francie and Josie being shown on Ulster tv. Here they are are 22.40-23.10 pm on Sunday 6 October 1963, on the full television schedule for that day.. www.tvlistings.thetvroomplus.com/listing-476.html |

I have asked STV if they would tell me how many episodes there were of The Larry Marshall Show, as Lost Shows.com doesn't currently list it.. |

Steve Jones Illustrated..is this the same show as It's Friday and I'm Steve Jones 1978-9 or are they separate shows. Is Steve Jones the same Steve Jones from LWT Search For A Star and later The Pyramid Game, as hosts, or is he a different Steve Jones? |

I could only find it in the 1960s, I'll need to update the page. I beleive Steve Jones Illustrated, is this the same show as It's Friday. I think a year spilts them up. I could never tell if it was a different Jones. Another show which is missing from the STV vaults is Talking Scots: www.ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Talking_Scots |

I forgot I have a book about STV 50th Birthday here is some details about its ealry shows:
HIGHLAND AIR was a programme full of Gaelc musc and conversaton, presented by John M. Bannerman and whch ncluded Jack House, Evelyn Campbell, Alasdar Glles and Ferge MacDonald. It was desgned by Helen Rae, produced by Lam Hood and drected by legendary STV producer/drector Davd Bell. Bannerman was teachng Glaswegan, House, hs natve Gaelc and t was amazng just how ths programme caught the magnaton of the publc. Shoppng n Glasgow one day, Bannerman asked a butcher’s assstant for an ox-tongue. ‘Now, how would you say t n your own ‘tongue?’ smled the pretty assstant. Whereupon John gave an mpromptu talk on Gaelc, to the delght of both customers and staff. They were ntrgued to learn that ‘ox’ doesn’t exst n the Gaelc language, although ‘teanga’ means tongue.
TOWERS OF STRENGTH ared n the early 1960’s on Wednesday’s at 6.10pm and was presented by Ngel Tranter. He sad: “Throughout Scotland there are nearly one thousand fortified homes and castles, in dfferng states of preservaton and decay, unque n desgn and steeped n hstory. Each week I’ll look at the wealth of story and legend, of personal trumph and tragedy, contaned wthn them. The jealous, feudng, bellgerent and romantc Scotland whch today exsts only n these half-forgotten but hstorcally vtal buldngs.” Tranter was probably the best qualified of all Scots to present such a show. From 1935 to 2000 he penned roughly 140 books. Although most wdely known for hs famous Scottsh hstorcal novels he also wrote factual books about Scotland and the Scots, novels set n Scotland, and other countres, westerns, under a pseudonym, and a seres of books for chldren.
SUMMER SEWING followed the One O’Clock Gang and the news and was presented by Eleen McGure. It was amed manly at beginners. This fifteen-minute programme included topics such as ‘How to Make a Shft Dress’ and covered all aspects of sewng n such great detal. It was produced by Lam Hood and drected by former actor Jmmy Sutherland, followng page.
Other shows ncluded SENSE AND NONSENSE, whch followed Towers of Strength and was both serous and lghthearted, as the programme ttle suggests. Magnus Magnusson chared as four promnent Scots dscussed all aspects of Scottsh lfe. LATE CALL ended each evenng’s vewng at 11.27pm and was presented by a dfferent church member each nght. The five-minute religious offering was one of the longest servng programmes on Scottsh Televson.
STUDIO DOWNBEAT was a huge favourte wth teenagers and was presented by Raymond Boyd, below. Blled as ‘a jve and twst contest among Scottsh clubs’, t regularly featured specal guest recordng artsts such as Clnton Ford, Shane Fenton (later to be known as Alvn Stardust) and Don Spencer, as well as teams of dancers from all around Scotland. The muscal drector was George Keenan. Scotland’s teenagers relgously followed the latest fads n clothng that presenter Ray Boyd popularsed n the show. He receved hundreds of letters each week askng where he had bought a partcular sut or te – and the reasons for the cardgan wth sde vents and handkerchef pocket that he wore from tme to tme. Grls were hs man correspondents though, and he went through thousands of photographs of hmself wth each seres that passed. Of hs show he sad: “I love t, t allows me to keep n touch wth my many pop star frends.” Hs lfe was so hectc though that one tme after he met the Queen, he arrved back at STV to record ‘Downbeat’ wth just seconds to spare and FORGOT to collect hs change from
the tax drver! In the early ‘60’s, Lonel Blar came on board to judge the dancng n STV’s top-rated pop and jve show. He sad: “Scottsh kds have got the talent to be the swngest kds n Brtan. Glasgow s a swngng cty but the kds need more places to dance. Glasgow ought to open ‘dscettes’ where young people can jve and twst to records!” HIT THE ROAD ht the screens just before Coronaton Street on a Monday nght and was a travel quz to test one’s knowledge on well-known places and ther hstorcal background. Hosted by Gang member Larry Marshall, and endorsed by the AA, t was a popular producton whch was drected by future Take the Hgh Road guru Bran Mahoney.
FLOWERS IN THE SMOKE was a gardenng show for begnners presented by Ian G. Walls of the West of Scotland Agrcultural College. Wndow-boxes n tenements, plots on spare ground, gardens in suburbia and floral arrangements for the home or office – this show covered the lot! Ian also took tme out to answer vewer’s questons. One of hs famous sayngs was: “You don’t thnk twce about packng the dog or cat off to the kennels or handng the budge to a neghbour – but what about all those pot plants when you go on holday?” KEEPING YOUR MAN, the show wth the rather non-PC ttle, was fronted by (future Lord Provost of Ednburgh) Erc Mllgan and arrved wth the slogan – ‘The way to a man’s heart s through hs stomach. And who better to show you how to acheve ths than a man?’ Erc gave hnts on cookng, plan or fancy. On one occason he offered copes of all hs recpes to those who wrote n. Expectng a hundred requests at most, he was absolutely flabbergasted when over 20,000 letters poured n to the studos. No doubt he had wrter’s cramp by the end of t. One letter ncluded a note, whch sad: “Don’t bother STV mal staff wth Erc, centre
tellng me how to keep my man. Just let me know how to get one!”
TELCAN wasn’t a show but an amazng breakthrough n the world of televson. Ths system - whch cost just 59 guneas – allowed you to tape your favourte programme whle you were OUT! It recorded sound AND vson and you could play t back. Wow!
ROUNDUP, the get-wth-t magazne programme, fronted by Paul Young and Morag Hood, was among the first shows to give The Beatles ther bg TV break. Young vewers n Scotland just loved seeng ther favourte pop stars on the show, so much so that requests arrved at the Theatre Royal by the sackload and t was the job of scrpt edtor Lavna Derwent to sft through them and see f t was at all possble to make the dreams of young vewers come true. At the tme, she sad: “Top of the requests s always ‘When are The Beatles appearng?’ Well, no word meantme but we bask n the glory of havng presented that now-famous act several tmes…before they reached the pnnacle of ther career. They were grand chaps to have on the show.” On one occason there was real panc at the studos when Carol Deene, a young Brtsh recordng star, faled to show at rehearsals. She had been delayed by fog at London Arport but walked n, cool, calm and collected, whle the programme was already on the ar. She ddn’t even have tme to change nto the glamorous evenng dress she’d brought along but still looked fantastic in her travelling outfit. A true pro. Other stars to appear on the show ncluded Clla Black, Kenny Lynch, The Fortunes, Mke Sarne and John Leyton. Paul Young dscovered a new-found admraton for techncans at STV – especially after he witnessed first hand how local technicians n Span went about ther busness. “They ddn’t seem to be qute wth t,” he sad. “I watched a bullfight on TV – and at several points the camera’s eye-view was blotted out by people standng up to cheer the matador. “The techncans ddn’t do anythng about t, ether. We were smply treated to many minutes of screen time filled by the backs of heads!”
In the Chrstmas Eve 1963 edton of Roundup, Glen Mchael portrayed Charles Dckens to read some of the wrter’s classy lnes on the sprt of Chrstmas. “We’re also havng Santa Claus hmself n the studo, to gve us an ntervew n the weekly celebrty spot,” Lavna Derwent sad. In addton, a group of talented youngsters from Peebles n the Borders presented a muscal play based on the Lttle Drummer Boy. It was repeated before lunchtme on Chrstmas Day.
THE GOOD NEWS was an nnovatve STV producton, whch ared on a Sunday afternoon and was presented by the Rev Coln Day, otherwse known as ‘The Sngng Mnster’. The Rev Day took a new approach to mnstry and sang ‘God Has Spoken n Power’ and ‘Strength to Hs People’ n cha-cha rhythm! At the tme, Rev Day sad: “I fully expect to get crtcsed for darng to nvent modern songs of prase, but I have delberately wrtten modern rhythms and modern words to get across what the Chrstan fath s tryng to tell us.” The seres conssted of short talks gven by Rev Day, nterspersed wth three songs, ether tradtonal hymns, Negro sprtuals or sacred musc.
Paul Young wth The Beatles. STV gave them their first big break.
LIFE BEGINS ON SUNDAY was a new concept n relgous programming. Presented by Glen Gibson, who pioneered STV’s first ever-relgous documentary ‘Let’s Thnk About Lvng’, Glen was assstant edtor of the Church of Scotland magazne ‘Lfe and Work’. He sad: “We hope that our new venture wll be a breakthrough n relgous vewng. We want to get away from the armchar dscusson approach.” The new producton ncluded a short news bulletn, an edtoral, musc spot and a feature ttled ‘Straght Answers’ whch was desgned at answerng crtcsms and doubts put forward by vewers.
SONGS THAT MATTER TO ME first aired in December of 1963 and featured Scots star Jmmy Logan. It was presented by ‘Gang-ster’ Jmmy Narn and co-starred Charle Sm, Sally Dawn and Dorothy Paul, as well as the Tommy Maxwell Quartet. The show was drected by ‘Gang’ drector Jack Sampson. Logan, below, had seen t all, from ‘cosy’ musc halls to head bllng n Canada and London and numbered a host of famous showbz stars among hs personal frends. He was to recall many amusng ncdents from a truck-full of happy days n the old Metropole n Stockwell Street, Glasgow. On the Chrstmas Day edton of the show, guest star was talented ventrloqust Denns Spcer, who sad: “I got the craze when I was at school. I used to pnch all my sster’s dolls and make dummes out of them.” In a bd to prevent ths, hs parents got hm a ‘doll’ of hs own, the same ‘Jmmy Green’ he used on stage and TV n the 1960’s. The New Years Day edton welcomed Scotland’s senor comedan Jack Radclffe. Jack, born Charles Smth, from Lanarkshre, recalled a long and llustrous career as a seres funster, famous for character sketches. He also talked of some of the well-known football stars he had come into contact with. Jack made his first ever appearance as a

I've spoken to that guy, very nice. Alas STV have moved away from puting its archive on YOUTUBE.
As said STV have now centralsied its storage, with Aberdeen only really holding News. STV warehouse holds most other content.
