The film features testimony from the victim's mother, Nicola Dyer, and stars John Boyega in the lead role."

Pramface + Whites

Pramface is a new sitcom on BBC Three. It will be returning for another series next year. Nice to see Angus Deayton, but this one is just another of the many comedies that seem to be targeted at 13 year olds.

The Sarah Jane Adventures

Sarah Jane Smith was Doctor Who's companion back in the mid-70's and remained a Doctor Who favorite and was brought back for appearances over the years. Her last appearance was in the final David Tennant episode on New Year's Day 2010 (see photo below). 
The Sarah Jane Adventures was a Doctor Who spinoff targeted at a younger audience but enjoyed the same high production value as Doctor Who and certainly wasn't "just a kid's show". 
Of course, there was only one Sarah Jane and that was Elisabeth Sladen who passed away last April bringing the story of Sarah Jane to an end. The final series, cut short by her death, was aired 6 months after her passing.

For The Love Of Ada

I'm pleased to say that this gentle comedy from 40+ years ago is now not only complete, but entirely nice crisp digital video. For The Love Of Ada starred Irene Handl, Wilfred Pickles, Barbara Mitchell and Jack Smethurst and was created and written by the team of Harry Driver and Vince Powell who also did George and the Dragon, Never Mind The Quality Feel The Width and created and did some of the writing for Love Thy Neighbour and Bless This House. Harry Driver died shortly after For The Love Of Ada and Vince Powell went on to do Mind Your Language and the last three series of Never The Twain.

Also with familiar faces such as Maggie Steed, Owen Teale, Elizabeth Berrington, Steve Speirs. And if you pay attention you'll even catch Deddie Davies from time to time....which certainly made me smile. It's been reported that Stella will be returning sometime in the future.

Thanks

Thanks very much to everyone that has or is responding to my data loss predicament, particularly to those who made very generous non-reciprocating offers from the US to the UK to Down Under. It's much appreciated and recovery is progressing. I'm still looking for these titles. Some of them I'm not expecting to find, yet I know some of these titles have been quite popular with the readers of this blog. uktvfl@yahoo.com

I received several e-mails from people looking for the new Whitechapel series. I'm waiting on the first series which was among the missing. Also, Bleak Old Shop Of Stuff. When Pramface finishes up on the 29th I'll put it on a disc with that. The new series of The Indian Doctor is another one. I'm waiting on recovering the first series. 
Again, thanks very much.

Coronation St. + Emmerdale + EastEnders

The latest from the big 3 evening drama serials.

Citizen James

The 10 surviving episodes, of the early 60's sitcom Citizen James, have been remastered.

The Plane Makers

The Plane Makers was a 60's industrial drama with a lot of kitchen sink elements although the focus was on management. It ran for 3 series (58 episodes). Only the very first (of 16) episode from Series 1 survives. These discs contain that and the 28 Series 2 episodes. It's unknown if the 13 Series 3 episodes will find their way into the hands of the public at this time. Episode 22 from Series 2 is missing from the episode guides so I don't know if there was one or not. 
If you go on the "A-z" website you will see that these are not easy to come by and can be had only at a considerable cost. Mancunian Ken made a great effort to make these available. This show was continued as The Power Game which you can look for here in the future. The 96 or 97 47-minute episodes of Plane Makers / Power Game made it one of the longest TV drama productions of the 60's. Although little of this program takes place in a plane, I do enjoy the cavernous mockup they used for those scenes. If only passenger jets did have 10 foot ceilings! Looks like the inside of a C4-Galaxy. That's Wendy Craig serving drinks.
