Micky does an excellent job on this B A Robertson/Terry Britten composition. In fact, it sounds like the same backing track as used on B A's original (but at a slightly higher pitch). Anyway, it's well suited to Micky's delivery style - it's a shame there aren't more Dolenz/Robertson collaboratio...

It's a fun song that captured a moment - and now it's captured another moment. Fantastic stuff! The confrontational responses might as well be directed to 'Do Wah Diddy Diddy' by Manfred Mann (which lacks the political sensitivity and subtlety of 'There's No One As Irish ...'.

I remember this as an intelligent and well-produced kids' serial with potential to reach a more mature, as well as youthful, audience. Unlike some supposedly adult science fiction programmes of the time, this example of television sf suffered none of the faults so often inflicted on the genre by ...

I used to wonder what that second track (Candy Bar Calypso) was. Haven't heard it since I was a kid. Not convinced by the stereo mix, but it's great to hear it again.

I realise this is a mock, but, of course, it didn't happen like that at all! I seem to recall a small number of (on-screen) presenters announcing the end of Westward, and then a jump-cut to the same group of presenters welcoming viewers to TSW. Basically, the message was that nothing had really c...

Great record! The lyrics may be nonsensical, but it sounds amazing! Maggie Thrett also released "Lucky Girl" on Take 3 Records in 1964 (under her birth name, Diane Pine). Are there any other Maggie Thrett recordings out there? (A July 1965 article in Billboard suggests that "Walk On By" was anot...

The Philips 21KX102A colour TV appeared in the UK in 1964 - even though colour broadcasts didn't officially begin until 1967 (the State opening of Parliament went out in colour in 66). There were, of course, experimental colour broadcasts from about 1955/56 (initially in a 405-li...

Yes, but "The Devil in the Dark" wasn't filmed until January 1967 (the 24th episode to be filmed since the start of regular production in May '66). So, as JETFRIV says, this cannot be a 1966 promo. It's very interesting though, as the network appears to have impressed a style of their...

Nicely done! It reminds me of one of the things I like about the original series - the clarity of the picture! - especially compared to the earlier seasons of TNG which suffered very badly from going down several generations in C-Format. By the way, is it me, or have the more recent moves (and E...

Incidentally, it's not just running on SyFy. At time of writing it's available on the Warner TV VoD channel (UK). It may not be high art (the original wasn't either), but it's extremely engaging and entertaining. I'm not especially bothered by CGI, as I'm more interested in the writing, but the F...

Ah, Changes was an excellent kid' sf serial ... far better than Man Dog! (Thought I'd just throw that in for its comparative obscurity!)

Thank you for that, sikkame. I came across your video because of a Google alert connected to one of my own videos (not exactly sure how that happened). Anyway, it's great that you can talk about your problems so spontaneously, and it's very brave to do it for an audience of strangers. It's also g...

Yes, indeed. The book 'Delivered Unto Lions' is inspired by the Merrifield Unit at Tone Vale. There's a promo video for it on YouTube.

Ah, Theology and Future Fiction at Greenwich. I remember it fondly. Great stuff!
