TV minus 50: September 2014
http://tvminus50.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
This week's TV, 50 years ago. Monday, 29 September 2014. Tuesday 29 September 1964. Tonight's show begins (even before the show's title and whirring intro music) with Leon Dorsey telling us exactly what's wrong with him: he's got Meniere's disease. His obstinacy in discussing the matter leads to a classic "explaining to the audience something the character already knows" ruse as Alec Grant barks: "I see I shall have to talk to you like a first year medical student! Guy asks Rex Lane-Russell to go for a d...

On original paperwork. On the BBC's Doctor Who. Hrostar exp...

Planet Curio: Goodbye Television Centre
http://planetcurio.blogspot.com/2013/03/goodbye-television-centre.html
I've had a life-long fascination with the weird and wonderful, curiosities and macabre. I also love the 1970s, classic British horror films and independent cinema. I understand it is customary at this point to say see my complete profile. BBC Four and a host of stars will pay tribute to Television Centre, this Friday at 20:30. The iconic building is closing its doors for good; sold for 200m and set to become apartments, a hotel, shops and offices. And Dead of Night. But Sir David Attenborough, a BBC pres...

TV minus 50: May 2015
http://tvminus50.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
This week's TV, 50 years ago. Tuesday, 12 May 2015. Hello everyone. Well, it's been the kind of week in 2015 that makes me particularly happy to disappear into the past, so let's do it. There's no Juke Box Jury. This week due to a special programme on BBC 1 commemorating the 20th anniversary of VE Day. Funnily enough it's produced by Glyn Jones, who's also the writer of the current Doctor Who. Adventure, the latest instalment of which follows directly after at the later than usual time of 6 pm. Outside t...

JOLLYGOOD BABYLON: May 2015
http://jollygoodbabylon.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Tales of witless madness. Thursday, 28 May 2015. The Abominable Dr Phibes (1971). Director Robert Fuest first came to international attention with his work on the last series of TV’s The Avengers. His idiosyncratic visuals a natural match for a show whose style was its substance. Fuest’s fourth feature film, The Abominable Dr Phibes. Has the feel of an extended, unusually gruesome episode of The Avengers. Was severely diminished by the heavy use of his skull-like features in the film’s publicity. There a...

JOLLYGOOD BABYLON: May 2010
http://jollygoodbabylon.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Tales of witless madness. Monday, 17 May 2010. The A-Z of Britsploitation Cinema: K is for Konga (1961). You may well have seen the title of this film and the poster there and thought ‘Oh no, a rubbish. Rip-off’. Well, you’re not entirely wrong –. Isn’t very much like the older ape film at all, instead happily ploughing its own demented furrow. The film’s director is John Lemont, who has a few interesting B-movies to his credit, but nothing else suggesting the inspired madness of Konga. Has many of the C...
