Re: Why Elizabeth Shepard Got Cut As Emma

When I corresponded with Liz a few years ago, I very much got the impression that the set up and production schedule for "The Avengers" simply didn't allow for cast input and didn't allow for collaboration. By comparison, if you take a look at her in Granada's amazing and extraordinary &qu...

Re: Original script

Ah! No! These codes! The designation isn't entirely a date code. They're project codes within a year and they all relate to 'E' for Elstree Studios (i.e. ABPC). The next two digits - '64' or '66' - is the year in which the project/series starts production; the Tara King episodes have the root code ...

Re: Now and then

Always nice to know that people are still going to the locations used in the series and having so much fun doing so. :)

Re: 4.07 - The Gravediggers

Glad you all liked the pics 😀.... I am aware not everyone is so close to such a location. Plus the limited times of the year it is open to the public. My wife and I have been lucky enough to get along there for the open days a few times over the years, and it really is a lovely place to visit. Glad...

Re: Original script

Are they the only pictures of the script? It says "Julian Wintle" at the top, must have been the producer's copy of the script. Episode 31 is correct as it was E.66.6.5 in the paperwork, and there had been 26 episodes in series 4 (designated E.64.10.1-26) Episodes were numbered from the s...

Re: 4.05 - Too Many Christmas Trees

Brian Clemens' famous quote about "thicker cardboard" springs to mind :) Yes! Quite! :) The more I think about it... the more I think he put that very well. Because it's not real relationships - like you'd have in a taped drama like "The Sandbaggers" or anything... but it is a d...

Re: 4.05 - Too Many Christmas Trees

As do I. Although my watching history of the series over 40 years does not go prior to season 4… I still love to see how the characters, film style, sets and wardrobe evolve… especially when viewed in production order. I love that season 4 is so different to season 5 and likewise season 6, after it...

Re: 4.05 - Too Many Christmas Trees

It's in that rather interesting period where the show's just gone to film... but the scripts are still written at times as if for tape. As such, you get a rather tight, studio-heavy script… Well observed Bless you Rob. I find the points of transition fascinating. One of my regrets - I suppose - is ...
