Was it used in Quadrophenia, Nick? It's a long time since I've seen that one. The timescale would be a bit out if it was though, the period shown in the film being about 1964/5 and The Frighteners 1961!

Yes, it's the bit where Phil Daniels's character comes home and his parents are watching TV together. The scene being shown is the one in which the main villain of the episode is telling his heavies that they have someone to deal with. |

Thanks Nick. I shall have to take a look at the film again. It's been too long!
I wonder what part in the existence of the episode this film plays?

Thanks Nick. I shall have to take a look at the film again. It's been too long! I wonder what part in the existence of the episode this film plays? I think the reality probably was that whoever was the archive/rights owner at the time always knew that the episode existed in their possession, hence it could be made available for the film and TIYL, but as a single "orphaned" episode from an otherwise lost season it had little commercial value, and so was never available for overseas sales as the later episodes of the series were. Avengers fans - not being as clued up or connected as their Dr Who contemporaries at the time - were unware of this, assuming that no Hendry episodes existed at all. Dave Rogers made a big thing about "rescuing" the episode in the early-1980s, but I think the reality is that it was never really "lost," and would almost certainly have resurfaced eventually, anyway. |
