I'm a bit surprised that there has not been much discussion here about the Kal event next week.
Guest Trevor Bannister a nice link-in with the final episode of Last of the Summer Wine, which is on this sunday.

Well I'll be there!  As the two shows that I want to see are the first and at the end it'll be another long and enjoyable day. Plenty of time to socialise at the bar. Hopefully the Russian staff will be less Fawlty Towers like! |

Hi Kevin,
Would that be White Horses and Little Big Time? Looking forward to LBT.

Hi Kevin, Would that be White Horses and Little Big Time? Looking forward to LBT. Graham Yes indeed! White Horses will be a Camus moment as that and Robinson Crusoe defined the summers of the 70's for me. I don't remember Little Big Time; only ever seen a clip from a Southern tv retrospective. |

Just wondering how many member of site are coming to event? Anybody staying on Friday night, as I'm coming down from Scotland on the friday.
I've seen the White Horses that is going to be shown, it just as good as i remember.
I think Trevor should have a few good story's to tell.

Thanks for another great day from the Kal lads and lasses.
A more laid back and cooler affair than the magnificent pop one.
Trevor Bannister and Chris made a great team; lots of witty banter there.
White Horses was enjoyable. The subtitles were funny. Anyone else notice the wrong spelling of You're? I am sure the RSPCA would ban the filming of this show today!
I could not work out what was more appalling in Little Big Time. Was it the script? The acting? Or Freddie Garrity's enormous 70's Afro syrup? Still nice to tick that one off the the must see list. Without Bob Monkhouse we would not be able to see it at all.
I also saw bits in the bar where there was a merciful lack of mad old Cliff fans this time.
Good to chat with Simon, Michael, Graham and Chris amongst others.
Hope the RNLI got a decent whack. Amazing to think the Kal guys have been at it for 20 years and raised so much for charidee. I salute you!
Hopefully I will make the Chrimbo/Thanksgiving one too.

Unfortunately I couldn't make this one, which is a shame as I was hoping to see Little Big Time and some of the early Postgate rarities!
I hope for the sake of those attending this time though that the bar area screenings weren't drowned out by people continuously talking (bellowing) over it all, apparently indifferent to what was being shown. That spoiled some of the pop event for me personally.

That spoiled some of the pop event for me personally. The bar area was a lot quieter. There was a row of armchairs round the front. I suppose there were that many people at the pop event it was difficult. The bar area alone for the pop was great; I only got to see a bit of Simon and Garfunkel as the main area was so so good. |

That's good anyway, Kev. I must admit, those people talking over most of the bar screenings last time is something that would persude me not to go to future events if it was always going to happen. It wasn't just the amount of people present before but a definite small group that were present for much of the time and drowning out much of what was being screened with their boring drunken media talk. Makes you wonder why they even bothered coming! In the end I gave up trying to watch things which I would have liked to see in other circumstances. It's annoying when you travel a long distance to see rarities like those on display to have them ruined in this way.
Still, yesterday's event sounds fortunately better in that respect.

Hi Jamie
Are you talking to me? Or Laurence who was the poster above?
Shaggy Dog was the animated story that was shown as part of The Dogwatch, a childrens show for Associated Redifussion.
Kal has been working as consultants for BBC4 on their programme about the Bob Monkhouse archive, and a jolly good 90 minute show it is including footage of our own archive.
Christmas event, which is the last weekend of Nov, due to a scheduling clash, includes Jackanory from 1974 with William Rushton, the Two Wise Virgins of Hove, some great continuity, a 1973 BBC play and our big auction.
MBW is in November as well I believe (we have contributed some shows), and Kaleidoscope will be launching the latest Raiders of the Lost Archives list on the 23rd October.
I hope all that helps.
Chris

It was another excellent event. Much quieter and more subdued than the pop and continuity events though. Those ones drew much more excitable people - many of whom must have been on day-release.
Pity that only two others joined me in clapping the Liberace Show.
So pleased to see how interested Trevor Bannister was in the idea of re-discovering old telly.
Norman Tozer would have been so pleased to be remembered so warmly there too.

Good to see susan Maughan in there. |

When you posted originally Christian (the post has now been removed) you used the name Jamie.
The rules of the site clearly state use real names only hence I replied to someone called Jamie.
For all I know Jamie is your real first name, or your middle name, lol.
Anyway I'm glad I answered your queries.
