Yes, our British TV system/market - 3 and then 4 channels - was very different to the 'syndication' programming model designed for a multitude of local stations as in the US, Australia and a few other places. Only changed somewhat with the main arrival of satellite broadcasting in the 1990s

Those TVM sequences had their uses! Alongside the marketing potential of a 'new' series, they bumped up the running time to c73 minutes, the standard programme length for a US 90min broadcast slot at the time.

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.

Grand Guignol! Magee, Wall and Henderson - the triumvirate - give their all and contrast the natural Joanna Pettet very well. Some of the imagery is very disturbing and director Malcolm Taylor (though self-deprecating when I spoke to him) is inspired.

Despite it not being up there with my favourites, Ian Henry is his usual brilliant self. Maybe because personally, I find series 4 the weakest of the 6. All about personal preference I guess. I loved him in The Lotus Eaters. Another series I watched when originally broadcast.

Enjoy Ros. Iโm working tonight or it would have been a rewatch for me too. Yes he was a great character in this episode, finally getting his man. Another ingenious story from Clemens and Feely. Donald was also in the bleak dystopian 1990. Definitely worth a watch.

Iโve always wondered how that book managed to find its way into that S&S episode. Obviously a prop but itโs so random considering the gap in the respective programmes broadcast.

For many years before the DVD releases, 'Murder in Mind' was the series' example episode available to view in the publicly accessible 'Television Heaven' archive in Bradford - in what is now known as the 'National Media Museum' (home of the UK's first IMAX screen)

I've been re-reading about the broadcast history of
#BrianClemensThriller
in Australia, & what was an unprecedented 20-year run of the series. When the licence for the original episodes expired, they hopped over to the movie versions & carried on. Oh how we were starved of it in the UK & we made it!
