Peter Fairly... science correspondence on Magpie.... I remember Timeslip having got home from school... It got me thinking at such an early age... and I still long to travel back and forth in my time and time itself... but if we could travle in time would we stay the same age or regress???

Looking for the name of a TV programme or possibly a film where a wedding dress features.

I have tried to find out what this scene was for over 30 years. A wedding dress in a tall glass case in a corner of a Victorian

old ladies room, she is sitting on a sofa and warns a young girl who is admiring the wedding dress, not to open the case .

But the girl does behind the old lady, and when the air gets inside the dress falls to pieces..

It is NOT Mrs Haversham in David Copperfied ..but was it this?

It was a film.... I cant remember what it was called but it was a young girl that was fixated on the dress and was only kept sane because of the promise that she would be allowed to one day wear it.

[wellohmeeeeeee]

@Bill39881 YES! yes yes... that is it. It was more like 40 years ago, and only you me and friend and two others distantly remember it. But was it something wiped and gone forever, or something like as suggested a European childrens type film, like The Singing Ringing Tree, as other series and films were made in this catergory. One day we will find it!!

i like to point out that this show was made in 1970-71 and in colour.but unfortanatly it was put on black and white film due to"the colour strike"except one episode in colour(The Time of the Ice Box).it's on wikipedia if you don't belive me.

Peter Fairley was a wonderful person as well as a brilliant science correspondent, extra specially because he put his name to a show that as it happened turned out to be the most brilliant Sci-Fi that was ever made in my view, he saw what many didn't see till years later, I was sad to hear of his passing some 12 or more years ago, it was a huge loss to the world of science correspondence.

I grew up in the 60s and Peter Fairley was indeed a brilliant journalist. On TV he came across as a very warm person. I was friends with a chap at my local and while at his flat one evening I noticed a photo of Peter Fairley on his wall. When I asked why he had such a picture my friend replied "Because he was my father". I'd been drinking with this guy for about 2 years and never realised his father was Peter Fairley. You could have knocked me down with a feather!

That is incredible, it goes to show that what we don't know about someone is nearly always more significant and fascinating than what we do do, Peters famous line 'Todays science fiction so often becomes science fact' has since been proven to be so right too, he was right on the ball, way ahead of his own time.

@proff180 I have his Space Annual from 1971. We never made it Mars by 1985. We may never ever get there at this rate. The DVD's of this series are well worth buying. And yes episode one is in colour.
