Dear Renown Club Members & Supporters of TPTV,
What a year it’s been! We have grown to be the largest independent TV channel in the UK in just
short of five years of broadcasting – quite an accomplishment for a channel run by just three
people! We’ve rescued and revived many lost films and been lucky enough to have archives
opened for us to license from. We have released 12 DVD titles as well as our first music CD and
created two amazing annual events celebrating TV and film history, with hosts of stars happy to
appear and share their memories with us. However, our work is not yet done. Next year we hope
to encourage more of the major studios to license British films and series to us, the rights of which
are owned in the USA, as well as persuading more libraries to allow us to release unseen titles on
DVD. Long live Talking Pictures TV! We could not have achieved any of this without your support
and we are happy to welcome more viewers and club members, so wear your Film Club badges
with pride and spread the word; write to your local papers, ring your favourite radio stations and
tell them about the revival of the golden era of film and TV. Ask everyone to tune their TVs into
Freeview 81, Sky 328, Freesat 306 and Virgin 445.
This year we have our best Christmas schedule of entertainment yet and we are very proud to
announce that we will be bringing Lionel Jeffries’ wonderful British film The Amazing Mr Blunden
to TV screens on Christmas Day at 7pm and New Year’s Day at 3:25pm, along with a marvellous
medley of films and series for you to enjoy over the festive period. Our handy Christmas TV guide
with all the details is on pages 24 and 25.
It’s been wonderful to see such an enthusiastic reaction to the return of Catweazle to our TV
screens. A whole generation of new fans are being introduced to Geoffrey Bayldon, the
incredible actor who played the part of the wizard. He didn’t just act, he WAS Catweazle. Our
new ‘elec-trickery’ sweatshirt inspired by Catweazle is on page 20. It makes a lovely gift and is
ideal for keeping warm this winter, so call us on the ‘telling bone’ if you would like to order one!
We are delighted to see that we are now in The Telegraph TV listings, as well as the Radio Times,
TV Times and many others. If we are not listed in your favourite magazine or newspaper, do write
to them – only you can make the difference.
It’s been a joy to speak to so many of you about The Imperial War Museums season and there
will be more war films from their archive to see during December. Many of you have asked if these
are available on DVD; we have found a small selection which can be seen on pages 2, 3 and 4.
We will soon be announcing some of the guests appearing at our
festival of film in St Albans on March 22nd. We are down to the
last 100 tickets now, so do make sure you purchase yours soon if
you are planning to join us.
If you don’t know what to give as a thank you for Christmas
dinner, our Scrooge apron and DVD make perfect festive gifts –
(see page 21). I always wear my Scrooge pinny when I’m stuffing
the turkey! All that remains is for us to thank you all for your
support – without you we simply wouldn’t be here. I hope you all
enjoy some proper Christmas telly on the channel over the
coming month!
What’s Ebeneezer Scrooge’s
favourite Christmas game?
Wishing you all the best for the New Year – Mean-opoly!
and a very Merry Christmas! Sarah, Noel & Neill

Double-length musical holiday special. It’s Christmas
Eve, a most important day for scarecrows as they must
stand in position to guide Santa Claus back to the
North Pole. Worzel Gummidge, however, deserts his
post to enjoy the delights of the season, jeopardizing
his chances for attending the Scarecrow Ball.
Originally transmitted during Christmas 1980, this
52-minute episode called ‘A Cup o’ Tea and a Slice
o’ Cake’ was made as a festive family treat. The
songs, written by Denis King, provide a pantomime
atmosphere, Worzel singing about his life whilst
propped up in the field as the winter snow falls is
both funny and poignant. The action takes place on
Christmas Eve which coincides with the Scarecrows’
Ball. Jon Pertwee excels in the title part, his voice and
even movement combine to create an unforgettable
character. Billy Connolly, leading a gang of
bagpipe-wielding Scottish scarecrows, delivers a
hilarious cameo role. Many household names
including Barbara Windsor and Bill Maynard add
their own unforgettable performances.

Jack Wild Audio Book
It’s a Dodger’s Life
An Autobiography Contains 16 CDs
£29.99
WITH FREE UK POSTAGE!
Read by Richard Burnip
Unabridged
Contains 16 Audio CDs
Includes a bonus extract
of Jack reading an early
draft of the book.
Propelled to stardom at the age of
15, this is the story of actor Jack
Wild – published for the first time.
Just an ordinary boy, spotted by
chance by a theatrical agent, Jack
found world fame through his
performance in the 1968 film musical Oliver!
which brought him an Oscar nomination and
international stardom. As his fame grew, Jack
sadly fell prey to alcoholism, which eventually
dominated his life. After the glittering highs of
the 60’s and 70’s came the “lost decade” of the
80’s; falling victim to debt and being sectioned
under the Mental Health Act.
The real story is here, in Jack’s own words,
but this isn’t a memoir of pity and darkness,
finally sober, Jack returned to the screen in
the 90’s. Even after the cancer diagnosis which
killed him at the age of 53, he was optimistic about life.
His autobiography contains behind the scenes accounts of the many great names he
worked with, from British favourites such as Diana Dors and Ron Moody to international
celebrities including Bing Crosby and Kevin Costner. Completed by Jack’s widow, Claire,
who also reads the epilogue, this audio book is written in Jack’s unique voice, with
honesty, roguish charm and an astonishing lack of self-pity.

Memories of working at
The Rank Organisation
Part 4, by Noel Cronin
So here I am in the heart of London’s Soho at De Lane Lea,
a sound company that dubbed foreign films into English
and sound mixed TV commercials. There were two
sound studios, A in Moor Street and B in Greek Street.
I worked in a cutting room at the top of a building looking
right down Old Compton Street.
Cinerama was just beginning with 2001 A Space Odyssey and
right at the bottom of my building was a Wimpy Bar! The De
Lane Lea process for dubbing foreign films into English was a
long one that basically involved a translation of the dialogue
and then a fitting of the translation with words being changed
to fit the actors mouth movement once this was completed.
The film was cut into loops, picture and virgin sound for
recording with the selected actors. Part of the process required
the actor’s lines to be written on clear film with pen and ink
to match the picture loops; this ran in sync at the bottom of
the screen which the actors read. The loop could go around
as much as needed until the director was happy with the re-recording. Well, my hand
writing was very clear and the actors loved it, so for once I was fireproof as no one
could write so well! I remember after a long and difficult recording session the
recorded sound loops were left in the projection box in storage boxes. I arrived the
next day to collect them to start the post production work only to find the boxes
had disappeared! After much searching it was discovered that a cleaner, thinking it
was rubbish, had thrown them away! All the actors had to be recalled and a long and
expensive session had to be carried out again. Sound did interest me, but writing film
bands didn’t – in fairness, De Lane did want me to stay, but I was offered a post at the
COI, (the Central Office of Information), which was about
the bottom of the heap in film terms, but for me it turned
out to be the saviour of my film career!

Don’t Ask Me!
The enigma of why
SHEILA STEAFEL
is attracted to BASTARDS...
We were very sad to hear of the recent
passing of the inimitable Sheila Steafel.
Sheila had been working on an updated
version of her book Bastards which she had
given a longer title, explaining what this
humorous and engaging book is all about.
“When I read through the final draft of my
autobiography, I decided to take out several
anecdotes about my personal life, simply
because they seemed a sort of indulgence,
and didn’t add to what I wanted to say about my
life and my career. They were hiccups along the
way with some attacks worse than others, but all
were finally ‘got rid’. I put them in a file which
I called BASTARDS for my own amusement, and PAPERBACK BOOK
thought no more about them until my book came out
and I was asked what my next writing project would be. For want of anything else to say
I replied ‘BASTARDS’, and the response was so positive that what had started as a whim
began to take on substance.
The bastards were all my own. Some were short, as are some of the tales, and some tall,
which, in spite of your incredulity, none of the tales are. Well, I’ve said it before and I’ll
say it again, I couldn’t make them up! Could I?”
Don’t Ask Me! The Enigma of Why Sheila Steafel is Attracted to Bastards is a tribute to a
lady who brought so much laughter and enjoyment into millions of lives.

Nicholas Ball plays Hazell, a tough,

co-written by journalist and novelist
Gordon Williams, together with future
England coach Terry Venables.
Hazell the series was influenced by classic
film noir and featured rounded

created by screenwriter Leon Griffiths
following his work on Hazell.
Terry Venables is credited with writing
two episodes, Gordon Williams wrote five
and under their combined pseudonym,
P.B. Yuill, the pair wrote 15 episodes.

and Terry Venables
Starring: Nicholas Ball, Peter Bourke, Maggie Riley,
Barbara Young, Robert Roddy McMillan & Desmond McNamara.
Following the curtailment of his police
career after an injury and subsequent slide
into alcoholism, the newly reformed
James Hazell sets himself up as a private
eye. Utterly ruthless when he needs to be,
Hazell is also blessed with a breezy charm,
effortless style, robust sense of humour
and the ability to think on his feet; vital
when tackling blackmail, missing persons
cases, organised crime and the drugs
trade... and when faced with his dour
Scottish CID adversary ‘Choc’ Minty
(played to perfection by Roddy McMillan).
Desmond McNamara stars as Hazell’s
cousin and assistant Tel, with Barbara
Young as his landlady and sometime
employer Dot – one of British TV’s first
regular gay characters. A memorably
raunchy theme composed by Roxy Music’s
Andy Mackay, provided a Top 40 hit for
blues/rock singer Maggie Bell.

fire at the mansion one hundred years ago. Can history be re-written?

16Spotlight on
ALASTAIR SIM
Born: 9 October 1900 Died: 19 August 1976
Alastair George Bell Sim was born on 9th October 1900 in
Edinburgh. His father was a successful tailor and also served
as a Justice of the Peace. His mother moved from the Island
of Eigg in the Hebrides to Edinburgh as a teenager. Sim was
educated at James Gillespie High School and George Heriot
School before attending the University of Edinburgh in 1912,
where he remained until he was called up for military training.
After the war Sim decided not to continue his studies but to pursue an acting career
instead. He left the family home and spent a year in the Scottish Highlands. After winning
the gold medal for speaking verse at the Edinburgh Music Festival he accepted a succession
of University roles teaching elocution and he also ran a drama school. One of his pupils was
Naomi Merlith Plaskitt, who would later become his wife.
Sim’s first professional role was in Othello at the Savoy in London in 1930. Musical revue
followed and then his Broadway debut. Back in London he appeared in a variety of roles and
in 1948 he was elected rector of Edinburgh University. He held the post until 1951, when he
was made an honorary Doctor of Law. By the mid-forties Sim was a big box office draw and
his film career went from one success to another. Some of his finest performances include
Green for Danger (1947), The Happiest Days of Your Life (1950), Scrooge (1951) Laughter in
Paradise (1951), Folly to be Wise (1952), An Inspector Calls (1954), The Belles of St Trinian’s
(1954), Left, Right & Centre (1959) and School for Scoundrels (1960). His best remembered
role is that of Scrooge in the 1951 adaptation, considered to be the most definitive. Twenty
years later he returned to the role once more for the animated version.
During the mid-sixties Sim made a successful return to the theatre, with occasional TV and
film work, adding his own touch of brilliance to whatever role he undertook.
Throughout his life Alistair Sim guarded his privacy and his family with care. He preferred
that people judge him by his performances and refused to give autographs as he believed
audience interest in him should be purely down to his work, also shunning interviews and
publicity whenever possible. In a rare interview with
Focus on Film magazine he said, “No amount of
publicity can dampen a good performance or gloss
over a bad one.” Both he and his wife were keen to pro-
mote and encourage young acting talent. Among their
protégés was George Cole, who lived with them on and
off from 1940, when he was 15 years old, until 1952,
when he married and bought a house nearby. He also
appeared in nine of Sims’ films.
Sim was awarded a CBE in the Coronation Honours List
of 1953. He was also offered a knighthood but turned
