Final episode of The Escape of R.D.7 is now up on substack. Will Dr Hastings find a cure for a virus she inadvertently created and spread? Will the Design Department get scripts sent to them on time? Will the press ever review a BBC drama they actually like? Link ⬇️

@MAW_H Me too.

Never mind the weather, here's what might have happened in The Escape of R.D.7 back in 1961. No camera script survives but a rehearsal script does with significant changes to the plot & featuring characters who never appear!

Last year I released my Doctor Who BBC Video about the Fox Movie. In it I told you all that I knew the negatives existed! I'm glad that in a few short weeks we will be able to see it in 4K!! Here is the video of why this story means so much. https://t.co/R8NbsoQimI

@JohnBensalhia The way he took a left hand turn in his car was always a highlight.

Up now on the stack of subs, part 2 of lost BBC serial The Escape of R.D.7. Dr Anna Hastings has 'kidnapped' a young lab technician who has been infected with a virus she has been working on to kill rats. But will it kill him? And can he trust her motives? https://t.co/VsSb5rhjy6

Today I pay my respects to John Nolan who passed away a few weeks back. It gives me an excuse to view the final episode of S2 of DOOMWATCH "Public Enemy" which also has Trevor Bannister. For so many years, I only knew Mr. Bannister from ARE YOU BEING SERVED? and when I really started getting into British television, I was able to see the breathe of work and variety of role he played. Radio Times coverage attached.  #Doomwatch #BBC #GerryDavis #KitPedler #JohnNolanRIP
