Peter Gilmore and Jessica Benton in The Onedin Line. Classic TV series, that ran from 1971 to 1980, currently being repeated in the UK on Talking Pictures TV. Don't think I've ever seen so many impressive hairstyles in the one TV show.

Films watched (1960s): The Assassination Bureau Limited (Paramount, 1969); written & produced by Michael Relph; dir. Basil Dearden (based on the unfinished Jack London novel The Assassination Bureau Ltd). Starring Oliver Reed, Diana Rigg, Telly Savalas & Curd Jürgens.

"The Assassination Bureau is a political weapon or it is nothing. Properly used... it could bring down empires. I could make the destiny of Europe!"

@mariocki #delightfully drily witty play that's a sort of comedy of manners concerning the people involved in the upcoming sale of a potentially fake#van gogh at an auction house. at the beginning it seems like this might be a kind of upstairs downstairs piece‚ contrasting the lowly#porters who arrange and prepare the exhibition of sale contents with the posh managers and experts who float around inbetween them#that element remains but is sidelined a little to focus more on Vaughan's head porter and one moment of lost control which has far reaching#consequences for everyone. Vaughan is as excellent as he always was‚ a tragic portrait of quiet dignity meeting sheer pigheadedness and#unbending yet naturally servile nature. Aldridge and Maxwell‚ tho‚ are the scene stealers as the owner (?) and head expert of the auction#house respectively‚ a pair of upper class grotesques who nevertheless display surprising nuance and depth as the plot develops#(particularly Maxwell). less politically motivated than many PfTs (not that it is at all apolitical: communism‚ the soviet union‚ wartime#looting and princess Diana all figure into the story) but a genuinely very compellingly told and entertaining play that manages moments#of real sharp comic dialogue alongside a gloomier slant on the inevitability of dishonest dealings at every level

Play for Today: Under the Hammer (BBC, 1984)

"So. Tell me what happened."

"Well. It was me. I kicked it."

"Any particular reason?"

"I lost my temper."

"Who with?"

"I was having a... discussion about the painting and things to do with the painting with McClaren, sir, and, uh... it got out of hand."

"And you kicked the painting?"

"Yes, sir."

"Instead of kicking McClaren?"

"Yes, sir."

"I wish you'd kicked McClaren."

"So do I, sir."

Beau Geste - Episode One (31 October 1982)

There have been many adaptations of Beau Geste, P.C. Wren's novel about the French Foreign Legion although before seeing this 1982 TV adaptation (thanks to Talking Pictures TV, always digging up treasures like this) I had not read either the original book neither watched any of the adaptations, in fact the closest point of reference for me was the 1967 film Carry On Follow That Camel, which while a parody with an original story was heavily inspired by the novel to the point the main character played by Jim Dale was called B.O. West (say it fast 3 times and you'll get it).

This first episode (out of eight - the remaining episodes will be shown over the coming weeks) begins with a curious mystery. A relief column commanded by Major de Beaujolais (David Sumner) arrives at Fort Zinderneuf but no one seems to be there and the men on the walls are all dead. The mysteries ramp up as the bugler sent to unlock the fort from the inside goes missing, a body of a bayoneted soldier disappears and later the fort explodes with no one alive apparently inside.

A letter is also discovered on the body of the soldier who later disappears mentioning a Lady Brandon from Brandon Abbas, which leads to de Beaujolais having a flashback back to when he was there with Lady Brandon (Wendy Williams), where the second half of this episode takes place.

The children of Lady Brandon including the Geste brothers Beau (Paul Hawkins), John (Paul Critchley) and Digby (Robin Crane) are spell-bound by de Beaujolais' exciting Legion stories. Lady Brandon also shows de Beaujolais the valuable Blue Water jewel which has a turbulent history.

The episode ends in apparently tragic fashion as Lady Brandon brings round a visitor while the children are playing with a suit of armor and the children hide to escape punishment. Unfortunately John's choice of hiding place seems to have been a poor choice, leading to a rather shocking cliffhanger that well merits the distressing content warning shown before the episode's broadcast on TPTV...

An interesting opening episode, I look forward to seeing what happens next.

If you’re a Freeview user, you may have noticed a new arrival this week (the 18th) — Rewind TV. They launched earlier this year on Sky, now have come to Freeview.

Secret Army. Repeats continue tonight on Talking Pictures TV. Great show with plenty of recognisable faces from UK television and one of the most chilling bad guys of 70's TV in Clifford Rose's portrayal of Kessler. Still stands up after all these years.

It unwittingly spawned the parody sitcom 'Allo 'Allo! that ran for 9 series. I understand many of the cast and crew of Secret Army were less than impressed with the manner in which the sitcom, also made by the BBC, mocked the series that inspired it.
