I remember it late 50's, early 60's on ITV. Excellent series. Less good in the 70's but still watchable. Talking Picture have got their hands on some good old series, as well as obscure but watchable old movies.

Wasn't there another good series called The Wednesday Play on BBC?
That was well before the corporation got taken over by lefties. |

I remember the BBC saying they had to record over old video tape because it was expensive.
I hate to think what they may have erased. It is like painting over a Rembrandt because that is the only canvas available. I hope some have survived and are shown, some Harold Pinter work there as well. |
