"Jenny Syde" ?! WTF? That's never someone's real name, surely.

Calling all fellow Doctor Who nerds.
I am watching The Salvage Gang (1958) on #TPTV and so far have spotted three #DoctorWho connections:
(1) Frazer Hines (Kim)
(2) Roberta Tovey's Dad, George (Alf)
(3) In one scene, a very prominent Police Box.
Have I missed any others?

Well, that was weird - I've just seen Stuart Damon on The #WheelTappers on #TPTV - *singing* ?! (Well, sort of).
Did William Gaunt ride a unicycle?
Did Alexanra Bastedo play the spoons?

One of the best things about watching old repeats of Wheel-Tappers on #TPTV is spotting the stupidest 1970s hair styles. 🙂

This has to be the lowest budget #TV 'production' of all time.
Dear Noel Cronin, Please stop it immediately or I may have to send Mike some 'special' biscuits.
Thanks.

Holy crap - has anyone else come across "The Heritage Chart Show" on #TPTV .
The imagery appears to be completely #AI generated (possible even the 'music' is from an AI generated #1980s parallel nightmare universe since I've never heard of any of it.)
Also, where's the logic in using Morris Benton's Broadway font to suggest 'the olden days' when we're only talking about the 1980s or 1990s?!
I'm not sure it's even the real #MikeRead .

Does anyone else here regularly watch #TheFootageDetectives on #TPTV ?
I'd never heard of that 'special' backronym for OMO mentioned my Mike and Noel. How very interesting.

If #TPTV keeps to its current schedule then #UFO fans will get a chance to see Captain Carlin in a slightly different context on 23rd February 2025 at about 22:05 on #TheWheelTappersAndShuntersSocialClub .

Oddly, I don't think I've ever seen "First Spaceship on Venus" (1962) before. What a strange mixture of good set design and lighting, up to date science and atrocious acting. I especially like the idea that they have a base on the Moon and a gigantic (non-spinning) spaceship with 'artificial gravity' but that they've never thought of taking a closer look a Venus prior to happening upon a lump of alien spaceship debris.

I just watched The Gilded Cage (The Gilded Cage, 1955) and rated it 5/10 ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gilded_Cage_%281955_film%29?wprov=sfla1 #films #cinema #cinemastodon #TheGildedCage #JohnGilling #TalkingPicturesTV

#TalkingPicturesTV is currently showing episodes of the 1962 Roberta Leigh puppet space drama series Space Patrol on Saturday mornings at 0950. #TPTV is also currently screening episodes of Gerry Anderson's Fireball XL5 with which it is interesting to compare the styles of production. #DoctorWho fans may be interested that Marla and Cassie are voiced by #YsanneChurchman - AKA Alpha Centauri.

Watching one of the FR/CH/BE/CZ co-produced Maigret episodes on "Talking Pictures TV" I spotted this in the credits. Which reminded me of the PALplus project I worked on in the 90s that was also supported by the EU 16:9 action plan.
