Dear Supporters of Film and TV History,
Since we last wrote to you all, it’s been a month of terrific highs and terrible lows
here at TPTV HQ. Firstly, the sad news that our dear friend Barry Cryer OBE has
gone to the big comedy stage in the sky; he will be so missed and leaves behind a
legacy of laughter. Our thoughts are with all of his family at this sad time. Barry’s
best line about his love of Talking Pictures TV is summed up perfectly in this quote
about his mobile phone: “My phone’s so old it has an Alastair Sim card.’’
Our event at St Alban’s Arena is just a few weeks away now. Completely sold out,
there will be no tickets on the door, but there is a waiting list so do call the office if you’d like us to put
your name down. You should all have your NEW tickets with correct date and time on and if you don’t,
please get in touch as you will need the ticket to get in. Our scream queen panel, of Valerie Leon,
Martine Beswick, Madeline Smith & Jenny Hanley will all be there, hosted by Caroline Munro, now
with the added beauty of Judy Matheson joining us; and we are delighted that Joanna McCallum,
(whose parents were Googie Withers and John McCallum), will also be there, as well as Freddie Davies
and Anita Harris; our MYSTERY Star guest is still to be announced! Brian Murphy and Linda Regan will
open the show and Noel and Mike Read will be hosting a LIVE Footage Detectives on stage.
We are also rejoicing as we have found the most beautiful Art Deco Cinema in chocolate box

On Freeview as promised, we moved to channel 82 last month, if you’ve still got us on 81, you don’t
need to do anything; if you want to watch us on 82 (our new official number) on Freeview you will need to
