Tonight I continue on my Christmas viewing with THE GOODIES "Goodies Rules-OK!". A lot of celebrities from the time show up in tonight's viewing. I haven't watched THE GOODIES in years so I am looking forward to it. Here is what Radio Times said about it. #Goodies #BBC #RadioTimes #Christmas2025

Tonight, I start my annual Christmas viewing of British television going to the end of the year.I start by watching JONATHAN CREEK "Black Canary". Rik Mayall guest stars in this too!  #Christmas2025 #JonathanCreek #AlanDavies #CarolineQuentin #BBC #DavidRenwick #RadioTimes

Watching PARDON THE EXPRESSION with tonight's episode "Self Defence", I was amused to see Mr. Swindley reading "Honor Blackman's Book of Self Defence" and also a nice early appearance from John Woodvine! #PardontheExpression #ArthurLowe #Granada #ITV

Tonight's Christmas episode of PARDON THE EXPRESSION saw some very familar foes take over the store. It really must have been something to have been a part of Dalekmania in the 1960s.  #PardontheExpression #Granada #ITV #ArthurLowe #Daleks

Today is the start of my Doctor Who Marathon: Day One. For me, Thanksgiving weekend is always linked to Doctor Who because of the wonderful Chicago convention Visions in the 90s. I decided to take a weekend of doing nothing and having good food while watching my favourite show!

Happy DOCTOR WHO Day! What are you all watching today to celebrate? I will only watch the first episode, "An Unearthly Child" Here is the VT Clock for the recording from the unaired Pilot in all of it's glory.  Have a great day! #DoctorWho #VTClocks4ever #Pilot #BBC #WilliamHartnell

It's Friday and the weekend!  I will be watching the last set of extras on THE COMPLETE AND UTTER HISTORY OF BRITAIN blu-ray from Network. I need to watch some DOCTOR WHO with the first episode. I hope some of you watch the release of my newest installment of DOCTOR WHO ON BBC VIDEO.

The soundtrack for my commute today! November is Doctor Who month as far as I am concerned. Also, thank you to Mark Ayres who currates the albums and resstores them so well. #DoctorWho #Soundtracks #DoctorWhoSoundtrack #SilvaScreen #FiveDoctors #BBC #PeterHowell #CD #PhysicalMedia

On the anniversary of Doctor Who, I will be releasing DOCTOR WHO ON BBC VIDEO series, "The TV Movie"! I worked for a FOX Television Affiliate at the time. There will be a teaser of my "Tenth Planet Pt 2" video.  Please subscribe to my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/@FromTheArchive1

What are you watching this weekend? I had watched all of THE COMPLETE AND UTTER HISTORY OF BRITAIN I will watch the 2 Shibaden episodes from the Network Blu-ray set and that made me think I should also watch TIMESHIFT: MISSING BELIEVED WIPED from 2003.  What are you watching this weekend?

We can't pay tribute to Prunella Scales without watching some FAWLTY TOWERS.. Tonight, from the Blu-ray, I am going to watch "The Builders" and "The Psychiatrist". Radio Times Listings below. Next week I will pick some non-BBC stuff. #PrunellaScalesRIP #FawltyTowers #BBC #RadioTimes.

Starting tonight, I plan on taking a little time going through some of the great roles that featured Prunella Scales. Tonight, I watch a couple of episodes of MARRIAGE LINES from the mid-1960s. RadioTimes cover and article introducing the series. #MarriageLines #PrunellaScalesRIP #BBC #RadioTimes

I take a break from PARDON THE EXPRESSION for a few weeks as I want to pay my respects to some people who left is recently. First, Nabil Shaban who defined the character of Sil. I am watching "Vengeance on Varos" last night and tonight.  #NabilShabanRIP #Sil #DoctorWho #BFI #BBC #PardontheExpression

This Saturday, I release my video about CATWEAZLE. This video is my review of the series and also the Network DVD release for it. It's a casual & fun look at this series and I hope you enjoy it. If you haven't done so, please subscribe to my YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@FromTheArchive1

I end the week with 2 more episodes of PARDON THE EXPRESSION with "The Old One Two" and "The Brain Drain". TV Times listings below and you will see future legendary actor Geoffrey Palmer in "The Brain Drain"! #PardontheExpression #ArthurLowe #Granada #ITV #TVTimes #GeoffreyPalmer

Radio Times Wednesday:  Here is a page all about CEEFAX from the week of 28.03.87.US friends, did we have anything like this over here? #RadioTimesWednesday #RadioTimes #CEEFAX

November is DOCTOR WHO month! Out of all the released music soundtracks, what is your favourite? I'm wanting to listen to something tomorrow. Let me know!

Last week was the busiest week of the year for me for my job so I wasn't able to really watch any PARDON THE EXPRESSION. Tonight I pick up where I left off with "The Dance" and "The Wedding".  #PardontheExpression #ArthurLowe #Granada #ITV #TVTimes

As I watched THE COMPLETE & UTTER HISTORY OF BRITAIN this past week, I wanted to share the electronic clock that came with episodes of this series. Not a VT Clock but still cool! #CompleteUtterHistoryBritain #LWT #ITV #TerryJones #MichaelPalin #MontyPython #VTClocks4Ever

It's Friday and I hope everyone had a great week! As we inch closer to Halloween, I wanted to share what I am watching this weekend! It's Universal's "The Invisible Man" 1933 in 4K! I love this film and can't wait to watch again! What are you all watching this weekend? Please share!

Tonight I begin PARDON THE EXPRESSION that ran from 1965 to 1966. Tonight is the first two episodes: "The First Day" and "The Headmistress". I am watching this from the Network release. Lots of TV Times coverage for this.  #PardontheExpression #CoronationStreet #Arthur Lowe #Granada #ITV #TVTimes

Tonight, I already, finish THE COMPLETE AND UTTER HISTORY OF BRITAIN with Episodes 5 & 6: " The Great and Glorious Age of Elizabeth" and " James the McFirst to Oliver Cromwell". I still can't believe these episodes now exist.  #CompleteUtterHistoryBritain #LWT #ITV #MichaelPalin #TerryJones #TVTimes

I was mentioning this yesterday but for anyone interested, here is the article about R3store restoring THE COMPLETE AND UTTER HISTORY OF BRITAIN.

Welp, I took out a second mortgage and bought the 4K release of THE NEW AVENGERS. I have waited so long for a high quality release of this series. And maybe, just MAYBE this will lead to more restoration to THE AVENGERS episodes.

Tonight I start THE COMPLETE AND UTTER HISTORY OF BRITAIN with the first two episodes: " From the Dawn of History to the Normal Conquest" and "Richard the Lionheart to Robin the Hood".   #CompleteUtterHistoryBritain #ITV #LondonWeekend  #TVTimes

Tomorrow I start THE COMPLETE AND UTTER HISTORY OF BRITAIN and I thought it would make sense to share the VT Clock from the original edit of Episode One.The original first two episodes only exists as Shibaden recordings. #CompleteUtterHistoryBritain #LWT #ITV #MichaelPalin #TerryJones #VTClocks4Ever

It's Friday! It's been a good week for me and hopefully a good one for you! What are you watching this weekend? Me? As it is October, I will be watching the 1931 film Dracula starring Bela Legosi in 4K!  Tell us what you have plans to watch this weekend!

With the passing of the incredibly talented John Woodvine, I knew I needed to pay my respect to him in some way.  I decided on NEW SCOTLAND YARD from 1972.  I am going to watch the first episode, "Point of Impact".  #JohnWoodvineRIP #NewScotlandYard #ITV #LWT #TVTimes

Tonight I finish my personal tribute to the late Dame Patricia Routledge. STEPTOE AND SON "Seance in a Wet Rag and Bone Yard".  I also will be watching some Kitty Monologues  too.#PatriciaRoutledgeRIP #SteptoeandSon #BBC #VictoriaWood #RadioTimes

I continue my tribute to Dame Patricia Routledge tonight with an episode of HETTY WAINTHROPP INVESTIGATES. Tonight I watch "A Rose by Any Other Name" from Jan 1997.  This is how the Radio Times promoted it. #HettyWainthroppInvestigates #PatriciaRoutledgeRIP #BBC #RadioTimes

This week I start my personal tribute to Dame Patricia Routledge. KEEPING UP APPEARANCES is how I was introduced to her work. I decided to watch one of my favourite episodes of the series and watch  "Cruise On the QE2" from Christmas 1993. #KeepingUpAppearances #PatriciaRoutledgeRIP #BBC #RadioTimes

Not a VT Clock but an electronic clock for a segment of THE WORLD OF BENNY HILL: DR. RUTH. From a collection of studio recordings. #VTClocks4Ever #BennyHill #Thames

My viewing tonight is my little tribute to Patrick Murray known to us as Mickey Pearce on ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES. I am choosing "Dates" because I haven't seen this in a long time and it's been remastered in HD. #OnlyFools #OnlyFoolsandHorses #BBC #RadioTimes #PatrickMurrayRIP

I’ve just shared something special on my Patreon for subscribers — a preview from an episode that won’t be seen for several months. Money really does help what I do. It starts as low as $3/month  Watch the exclusive excerpt here: https://www.patreon.com/c/FromtheArchive

Tonight I finish up FROM 'ATV LAND' IN COLOUR. If I am able to, I plan to do a review video at some point. It is very important these stories are told. #ATV #ATVLAND #Documentary

I was saddened to hear that Dame Patricia Routledge had passsed last week but what was inspiring was to see my timeline full of memories and tributes to her. I loved to see how much she meant to all of us! BTW, I love this picture of her as Hyancynth!  #KeepingUpAppearances #PatricaRoutledgeRIP

This week I continue with the third part of the documentary FROM 'ATV LAND' IN COLOUR. This has been a great documentary and one that I think is necessary to understand the larger picture of British television.   #ATV #ATVLAND #Documentary

As I am making my way through the excellent documentary FROM 'ATV LAND' IN COLOUR, I thought we would do an ATV VT Clock. I am always a fan of BEASTS and thought we could share the VT Clock to the Nigel Kneale classic "During Bart's Party". #ATV #Beasts #Rats #VTClocks4Ever

The folks at Film Is Fabulous are very shrewd. They would not show their hand like this unless they are very sure and I would go a step further and suggest that making a statement like this should only be made with prints in hand. #DoctorWho #MissingEpisodes #BBC #FilmIsFabulous

What are we all watching this weekend? This weekend I start with FRANKENSTEIN and THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN. I've had the 4K set pictured for a couple of years and I am starting with these because I will be interviewing Sara Karloff next week! What will YOU be watching this weekend?

I'll be honest, as someone who tells everyone he knows a lot of about British television, this was a new one for me. I had not heard of OBJECT Z before but seeing the BFI were releasing this on Blu-ray restored. Now to watch it! #BFI #Bluray #ObjectZ #Rediffusion #BritishTelevision

LOVEJOY is done and maybe I will share my thoughts on the final episode sometime. Now, I get into the making of British television with a 5 part documentary called FROM ATV LAND IN COLOUR. I’ve had this DVD set for years but a finally going to watch. #ATV #ATVLAND #Documentary

Tonight is teh final episode of LOVEJOY "Last Tango In Lavenham". This completes 6 series and I started watching the series for this run way back in March. I have thoroughly enjoyed it and eventually I shall do a video about it and the DVD set I used to watch it.#Lovejoy #IanMcShane #BBC RadioTimes

This week is the final episode of my LOVEJOY viewing experinece. We start the week off with the prenultimate episode "Holding the Baby". This is how the Radio Times covered the episode. #Lovejoy #IanMcShane #BBC #RadioTimes

TV Times Thursday: this article comes from the week of 08.02.59 as TV Times does an article on Roberta Leigh regarding her new series TORCHY THE BATTERY BOY. Apart from being a prolific auhtor, Ms. Leigh also did SPACE PATROL. #TVTimes #TVTimesThursday #RobertaLeigh #TorchytheBatteryBoy #SpacePatrol

My soundtrack to my commute today: although it says LOVEJOY, it’s actually an album of Composer Dennis King’s themes with the theme tune for LOVEJOY leading it off. As it happens, the incidental music for LOVEJOY is fantastic. What an incredible album that would be! Come on Silva Screen!!

This is from the Radio Times letter page the week that the LOVEJOY episode "Guns and Roses" was broadcast. John Sheehan, who wrote the letter, is not impressed with Series 6 thus far. #Lovejoy #IanMcShane #BBC #RadioTimes #Letters
