Rewatching Lovejoy “Death and Venice” which originally aired 40 years ago. And there’s a handy blog post guide to the locations in part 1. Though not for part 2 which we will rewatch another night. https://iainduff.wordpress.com/2018/11/13/lovejoy-and-venice-part-1/ #TV #80s #BritishTV #Venice #FilmingLocations

We've recently begun rewatching "YONDERLAND," a quirky fantasy show featuring many of our favorite British actors. We love our surreal and hallucinatory Britcoms. #yonderland #britcom #britcoms #sitcom #sitcoms #britishtv #britishtelevision #debbie #MarthaHoweDouglas #MathewBaynton #SimonFarnaby #JimHowick #LaurenceRickard #BenWillbond #cultclassic #classictv #prestigetv #prestigetelevision #fairytale #fairytales

The 1967-68 UK TV series Man in a Suitcase takes the basic ITC action-adventure formula and adds a hardboiled flavour, real toughness, grittiness, plus seedy downmarket glamour. And more than a hint of film noir. The best of all the ITC series.

Man in a Suitcase (1967-68), a British ITC action adventure series TV series with a decidedly gritty hardboiled flavour to it. Richard Bradford’s offbeat performance as a bitter ex-CIA agent turned private eye is the highlight.

Much more hard-edged and cynical than most ITC series.
Superb television.

No 60s British TV series is more highly regarded than The Prisoner, at least among fans of action/adventure/spy/science fiction series. And no series has ever engendered such fierce debates about its meaning.

A spy resigns, for reasons that he refuses to reveal. He arrives home, is drugged and wakes up in The Village. A perfectly charming place to live, apart from one thing - it is a prison.
