Charles Dickens by Professor K. J. Fielding. He had a social purpose in his fiction.
Dickens still speaks to us as directly as he spoke to Victorians. His works were not just
a mirror of his times; his relationship with society was a creative one. This arose because
he was a moralist, deeply concerned about men's responsibilities and about brotherhood
of man.

Wednesday 1 March 10.35 - 11.5 pm Best Sellers
Thomas Hardy by Lord David Cecil Full of suspense and dramatic action, his books
reflect the man. They are simple old-fashioned stories and yet vehicles of intense and
profound poetic vision. Hardy's vision is built on a scale to make his picture universal.
With him, village life becomes an image of human life.

A good gritty show IIRC made with all the love and care of a good British VTR prog like Public Eye etc. It's matriarchal stance and often majority female cast probably didn't do it any favours in the survival game and the crusty old men of the time who perhaps decided it's fate? 

I also sent in a play (converted from a story being written by a school friend and myself to the Write a play competition - it didn't get selected for production.

That must have been exciting -waiting for answer? at least there was opportunities like that at that time? Many of the 'Half-Hour Stories' were from new writers who made a career out of it after.

[williammcgregor]

Thanks goes to Tim Disney, Ken Griffin and Neil Hendry for the information below...


Some recent news on RTV finds below:

News Feed - Tim Disney - 1 August 2016

DISCOVERIES 50 - 58
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.

The final episode count is in. After only a visual inspection of the material on a set of rewinds, the following details appear to be correct. We'll be 100% certain once the material has been telecined over the next few weeks. However, it looks like the following has been recovered.

DISCOVERY 50. Badgers Bend (Episode 5) From either series 1 or 2. Both series have episode 5 missing, so that's a confirmed find. TX either 1/2/1963 or 29/10/1963.

DISCOVERY 51. Badgers Bend (Unidentified episode) Could be from series 2, won't be sure until it's digitised. TX as yet unknown. Possibly mute.

DISCOVERY 52. Uncle Charles - The Man and the Machine. This is a very interesting episode and incredible to think that out of a series of seven episodes, that were barely transmitted, we've recovered two of them in the last few years. As yet, there is no evidence that this episode was ever transmitted and is not likely to have been seen at all unless it had a late-night screening somewhere on the ITV network or by Rediffusion in London as a filler in its last few months on-air. The programmes were recorded in 1965, but not shown until 1967 and some repeated in Rediffusion's final few weeks. The series was barely seen outside London, some episodes were shown as fillers on Granada and STV / Grampian. Interestingly, this episode features a pop group made up entirely of robots singing on the set of Ready Steady Go! The first part of the programme is mute and missing the last few minutes up to the break. The other two parts have audio and are complete. No TX date. Recorded at Wembley on 9/4/1965 VTR No. W2796/815

DISCOVERY 53. No Hiding Place - Peggy. Approximately the first twenty of so minutes of this episode have been recovered. TX 27/8/1963. VTR No W2395/328

DISCOVERY 54. Boyd Q.C. - Hit and Run. (Complete) 4/3/1957

DISCOVERY 55. Boyd Q.C - The Old Flame (Complete) 31/5/1961 TR35/0I/ID/470

DISCOVERY 56. 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.

DISCOVERY 57. Postscript to Empire Britain in Transition - Intertel / Westinghouse / Rediffusion production. (The end is missing) TX 10/1/1962 (Exists at BFI)

DISCOVERY 58. HMS Paradise - Hail Lieutenant Hathaway and Farewell. End credits missing. This has been doing the rounds among collectors for a while, but the print has now been recovered. TX 29/10/1964.

There is also around 10,000 ft of news footage to sift through. Some appears to be American, but some is listed as ITN News. It is more than likely film reports, but I live in hope that there's an excruciatingly slim chance of finding a film recording of a bulletin. If there is, you'll hear about it here first.

Page 8 article...Arthur Through A Looking Glass
What do you do when every time you look out of your window you find your neighbours
peering at you through a telescope? Well, Richard Harris wrote a play about just that.
You can see the result in Arthur Through a Looking Glass in The Gamblers series on
Tuesday. The play takes the situation further and explores lower middle-class manners
in bizarre, larger-than-life terms. And when the watcher is confronted it triggers off a
comic sequence of events rounded off in a most surprising climax.

Page 13 article... Lily Jumps and Jim Loses
You wouldn't think that the part of a surburban housewife in a domestic drama would
be too exciting a role for Carmel McSharry, especially as she has three children. But
you would be wrong, because her role in Lily Jumps and Jim Loses, Thursday's play
in The Gamblers series, demands that she should take part in a horse race over
hurdles. Just why she has to do this is the most intriguing part of the play and Carmel
refuses to give the game away. But it can be revealed that the play is about Jim, an
Irish builder, played by Norman Rossington, who is obsessed with gambling that he
will bet on anything. His wife feels neglected and lapses into a depressive illness.
He bets he can cure her and attempts to do so by a form of analysis based on her
performance in the race. The bet has unfortunate consequences for Jim.
