A leisurely swim (rather than a deep dive) through the classic television that flitted across the black and white screens of the UK from 1956 until the three day week in 1974.
Co hosts Guy Morgan and David Newell consider shows that are still available, others that have been lost and some which should have existed and perhaps still could...........
In this episode, David and Guy ponder the surprisingly long history of successful TV shows that transferred to the cinema. From the 1950s Grove Family and alien invasion in Quatermass (not in the same film, though that would have been interesting.......) moving onto to the sitcoms that saved the British film industry in the 70s.
