RIP Jack Shepherd. One of the greats. He’s most famous for Wycliffe, but his legacy goes way beyond that, particularly with his performance as the eponymous Bill Brand in Trevor Griffiths’ brilliant series, and also for being the original Ricky Roma in Glengarry Glen Ross.

Back at Highgate Cemetery in January, looking at how it’s used in TV and film. Details:

Night out with my 3 girls for my 60th 🥳

Cromer 5/11/25 #Willow

It would have been the incomparable Michael Jayston’s 90th birthday this week so it has to be the singular greatest #BrianClemensThriller episode, A Coffin for the Bride tonight @rozzyc.bsky.social @martinmauthor1.bsky.social

A great watch tonight. 'Where the Action Is', with Edd Byrnes playing a suave, almost Bond-like character, Eddie Vallance. A completely different feel to last week's episode. #BrianClemensThriller rings the changes once again & delivers another fresh & thoroughly entertaining 65-minutes.

My rewatch of #BrianClemensThriller this evening is all about gambling, & with very high stakes. Here's the London area TV Times billing from Saturday 8th February 1975, with viewers in the captial (including me) getting to see the episode at least an hour ahead of the rest of the UK.

Happy Heavenly Birthday to Edward Judd today, born 4/10/32. I’ve a choice of 2 #BrianClemensThriller tonight starring Mr Judd but I’m going for my guilty pleasure, Murder Motel with the ditzy Robyn Millen and the brilliant Derek Francis

Where does 'Killer with Two Faces' fall on my radar? Well, it was among the first of LWT's in 1981 & I didn't video-record it, something I later regretted. I then had to make an extra effort to try to get it recorded from another region. Success came with the Anglia broadcast. #BrianClemensThriller.

It’s the heavenly birthday of Donald Gee on Sunday. He starred as the hapless Tom Patterson in one of my favourite episodes of #BrianClemensThriller Murder in Mind. I’ll be watching it Sunday evening. George Drew,s book appeared in assignment 5 of Sapphire and Steel 8 years later

I shall be continuing my own celebration of the 20th anniversary of the release of the Network #BrianClemensThriller DVD box set tonight at 9pm with a rewatch of 'Nurse Will Make It Better'. On disc 9 is a version with a few bits of footage not seen in the original ITV broadcast on Sat 11/01/74.

A familiar face in the episode of Softly Softly Taskforce I watched last night @martinmauthor1.bsky.social @rozzyc.bsky.social #BrianClemensThriller

I like presidents who know Slavery is bad, not "WOKE."

Today is the birthday of Cecil André Mesritz, better known as André Morell. One of my absolute favourites.

This reminds me of an interesting piece of casting coincidence. 18 months before Patrick Troughton played his second most famous role, that of a broken priest unsuccessfully trying to warn a north American diplomat that the devil is in home, he was cast in an episode of Brian Clemens' Thriller...

Final farewell to 'The Carnation Killer' @alanbriscoe.bsky.social @rozzyc.bsky.social @jabberwocky65.bsky.social www.rte.ie/entertainmen...

To think we've just passed the 20th anniversary of the release of this DVD box set of #BrianClemensThriller. I still remember the excitement of finally owning a) decent copies of ALL episodes, & b) all in the original UK broadcast format -well, very nearly. 🙂

Sad news folks. Gerald Harper, has gone to the great cinema in the sky. So long James Hadleigh and Adam Adamant. May he rest in peace.

🎂It's just 8 days before we get the best china out to celebrate 10 Years of Broadcasting! "Nobody wants to watch black & white films" they said! But you all tuned in, spread the word and proved them wrong! Thank you so much! Here's a birthday message from #DameSianPhillips

Happy #ThrowbackThursday! Here's a charming glimpse of Dunster Working Watermill, posted back in 1959. A timeless piece of village history is still working hard today. #Dunster #DunsterWatermill #DunsterVillage #DunsterInfo

Beautiful weather in Dunster today! Perfect for a lunchtime stroll, exploring the village’s charming streets and soaking up the sunshine. #Dunster #DunsterVillage #DunsterInfo

So sad to hear of the passing of Jean Marsh. Brilliant in everything she was in. Was she the only actor to have appeared in the original 'Twilight Zone' and 'Dr Who'? RIP Rose. 😔

So sad to learn of the passing of punk rock legend Brian James of the Damned. A resident of Saltdean, Brighton, my (Darren) memories of him, when I was living there, will include chatting on the no. 27 bus going into Brighton. Lovely guy. #TheDamned #thedamned #BrianJames #Brighton&Hove

Good morning from Dunster! The sun is shining, the historic streets are full of charm, and the castle stands proudly over the village. Whether you're exploring the medieval buildings, enjoying a cream tea, it's a perfect day to be here. #Dunster #DunsterVillage #DunsterInfo

#5albums70s3 @longlivethejam The Jam - In The City (1977) High energy teenage rampage through their live set. Paul Weller already showing what a great songwriter he was even if he's clearly besotted with the Who and Beatles. Great debut. #NowPlaying

This is going to be my new Sunday morning routine. Transported back to my teenage bedroom listening to two hours of the future with Peel. Fantastic. youtu.be/CKte-rNusoY?...

It’s a sad day here. Our dear friend Brian Murphy has left us for the cinema in the sky. The world is a sadder place without this lovely man. We shall miss him terribly.

Many Happy Returns to Horror Royalty and our very own #CellarClub host #CarolineMunro who celebrates her birthday today and to celebrate she is back with a brand new series of #TheCellarClub on #TalkingPicturesTV tomorrow (Fri-17-Jan) at 9pm!!

Discover the beauty and history of the Priory Church of St George in Dunster. This stunning landmark, steeped in centuries of heritage, is a peaceful haven in the heart of the village. #Dunster #DunsterInfo #DunsterVillage

BBC1's dystopian techno/eco-disaster series DOOMWATCH (1970) went all James Herbert in classic episode 'Tomorrow, the Rat', which saw London swarmed by carnivorous rodents. It's up to the government's Doomwatch team to save the day (but not this child, unfortunately)
