Doctor Who Annuals (1960s)

Four Doctor Who annuals were published during the 1960s, all in the Septembers of the year previous to that stated on the covers.

***Doctor Who Annual 1966*** was the first Doctor Who annual published by World Distributors. It featured the First Doctor (referred to throughout as "Dr Who"), the Zarbi, Voord, and Sensorites.

tardis.wikia.com

***Doctor Who Annual 1967*** was the second Doctor Who annual published by World Distributors and featured the First Doctor, again referred to throughout as "Dr Who".

tardis.wikia.com

The 1968 ***Dr Who Annual*** was the third Doctor Who annual to be released, and the first to feature the Second Doctor, again referred to throughout as "Dr Who". It was unusually anachronistic upon publication. Despite being released after the arrival of Victoria Waterfield on television, it featured the TARDIS team that existed for only one serial about a year before — that of the Second Doctor, Ben and Polly.

One of the features, "The Phoenix in the TARDIS" is a non-fiction article about the series, in particular explaining the change between William Hartnell's and Patrick Troughton's versions of the Doctor. It saw the earliest use of the term "regeneration", more than six years before it was first used on screen in Planet of the Spiders.

***The Doctor Who Annual*** for 1969 was the fourth Doctor Who annual published by World Distributors. It featured the Second Doctor (again referred to throughout as "Dr Who"), Jamie McCrimmon, Victoria Waterfield, and Polly.

The cover illustrations depict the Cybermen, Cyber-Controller and Yeti, but they do not appear inside the annual.

Eraserhead (1977)

> *"Where your nightmares end..."*
>
>

***Eraserhead*** is a 1977 American surrealist body horror film written, produced, and directed by filmmaker David Lynch. Shot in black-and-white, Eraserhead is Lynch's first feature-length film, coming after several short works. The film was produced with the assistance of the American Film Institute (AFI) during the director's time studying there. Starring Jack Nance, Charlotte Stewart, Jeanne Bates, Judith Anna Roberts, Laurel Near, and Jack Fisk, it tells the story of Henry Spencer (Nance), who is left to care for his grossly deformed child in a desolate industrial landscape. Throughout the film, Spencer experiences dreams or hallucinations, featuring his child and the Lady in the Radiator.

Eraserhead spent several years in principal photography because of the difficulty of funding the film; donations from Fisk and his wife Sissy Spacek kept production afloat. The film was shot on several locations owned by the AFI in California, including Greystone Mansion and a set of disused stables in which Lynch lived. Lynch and sound designer Alan Splet spent a year working on the film's audio after their studio was soundproofed. The film's soundtrack features organ music by Fats Waller and includes the song "In Heaven", penned for the film by Peter Ivers.

Initially opening to small audiences and little interest, Eraserhead gained popularity over several long runs as a midnight movie. Since its release, the film has earned positive reviews. The surrealist imagery and sexual undercurrents have been seen as key thematic elements, and the intricate sound design as its technical highlight. Thematic analysis of the film has also highlighted these issues and has elaborated on Spencer's fatalism and inactivity. In 2004, the film was preserved in the National Film Registry by the United States Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

#### Synopsis

In a post-apocalyptic society, Henry Spencer works in a factory and has a girlfriend, Mary. When she gets pregnant, she moves to his apartment and delivers a mutant baby, who cries all the time. She can not bear the screams of the child, leaving Henry, who is on vacation, taking care of the newborn child and driving him insane. [IMDb.com]

#### Soundtrack

The soundtrack to Eraserhead was released by I.R.S. Records in 1982.  The two tracks included on the album feature excerpts of organ music by Fats Waller and the song "In Heaven", written for the film by Peter Ivers. Listen to the album on Deezer.
Float On (song)

***"Float On"*** is a 1977 hit song by the R&B/soul group The Floaters. The spoken verses combine two popular trends from the time, star signs and video and phone dating, in lines such as Aquarius and my name is Ralph / Now I like a woman who loves her freedom. The song was co-written by James Mitchell of The Detroit Emeralds group.

Released from their self-titled debut album in July 1977, it became one of the biggest singles of the year, spending six weeks at number one on the U.S. Hot Soul Singles chart. "Float On" was also a crossover hit, peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, but with no other Hot 100 hits, The Floaters became a one-hit wonder on that chart. "Float On" also reached number one for one week on the UK Singles Chart on August 27, 1977, achieving Silver certification, and number five on the Irish Singles Chart.

The song was adapted in the early 1990s to advertise Cadbury's Crème Eggs.

"Dirty Laundry"

***"Dirty Laundry"*** is a hit song written by Don Henley and Danny Kortchmar, from Henley's Gold-plus debut solo album I Can't Stand Still, released in 1982. The song hit #1 on the Billboard Top Album Tracks chart in October 1982, prior to being issued as a 45. Lyrically, the song describes mass media sensationalism and yellow journalism.

Released as the second single from I Can't Stand Still on October 12, 1982, it spent four weeks at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1983. The single was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America, representing sales of over 500,000 records in the US.

Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels (US TV series)

***Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels*** is an American animated mystery comedy series created by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears and produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions for ABC. The series aired during the network's Saturday morning schedule from September 10, 1977 to June 21, 1980.

The show centres on the mystery-solving adventures of the Teen Angels—Brenda, Dee Dee and Taffy—and their friend Captain Caveman (or Cavey for short), a prehistoric caveman whom the girls discovered and thawed from a block of ice. The concept and general plot for the show was seen as a parody of Charlie's Angels (which also aired on ABC). It also borrowed heavily from other Hanna-Barbera shows such as Scooby-Doo and Josie and the Pussycats, among others. Captain Caveman's powers include super-strength, a variety of useful objects hidden inside his hair, and a club that allows him to fly and from which pop out different tools he uses to fight crime. His trademark is his battle cry of "Captain CAAAAAVEMAAAAAAANNNN!" Captain Caveman's voice was provided by Mel Blanc.

Guest voices on the show include: John Astin and Ted Cassidy (both from The Addams Family), Mickey Dolenz (The Monkees), and Casey Kasem and Don Messick (Scooby-Doo and "Shaggy"). Wikipedia
Independent Television in the UK - the 1960s

#### March 4, 1968: Television Wales and West closes down

Partly because its regional programming was so well regarded it came as a great shock when TWW lost its franchise in the 1967 franchise review, in favour of the Harlech Consortium, whose bid promised a glittering future of star-filled entertainment and quality documentaries.

Much of the station's closing night was made up of in-house produced output including Live Like A Lord (a music and comedy show with mainstay TWW personality Ivor Emmanuel and Clive Dunn) and Sing Me A Fantasy (a musical film). The feature programme of the night was TWW's penultimate production, All Good Things, a late night variety special presented by Bernard Braden and featuring amongst others, Tessie O'Shea, Stan Stennett, Ivor Emmanuel, Manfred Mann, Clifford Evans, Anita Harris and Morecambe & Wise. The programme was preceded by an introduction from company chairman Lord Derby.

Having felt desperately hard-done-by the ITA, and in the fits of a corporate tantrum, the company showed their final display of anger by closing down with Come To An End, a reflective epilogue with John Betjeman, who had made several films for the station, paying tribute to the personnel, programmes and achievements of TWW (which Betjeman affectionately referred to as Tellywelly).

Ironically recorded at the Granville Theatre in London, Betjeman closed the epilogue and the station with these words:

> "The new firm, Harlech, which will be centred in Cardiff, must build up its own personality. Tellywelly, you had a warm, friendly and inspiring one. Like many others, I'm very grateful to you. I'm sorry to see you go. It's like the death of an old friend."
>
>

As Betjeman walked out of the theatre and the credits rolled, the camera panned up to the "EXIT" sign on the wall, and TWW ended its transmission for the last time.

#### July 29, 1968: Rediffusion, London off the air and Yorkshire Television goes live

In 1964 ***Associated-Rediffusion*** rebranded as "Rediffusion, London", with a very hip 1960s style, the face of Swinging London in the shiny prosperous new Britain. However, the new Rediffusion did not survive for long - in October 1967 the Independent Television Authority announced that there was no place for Rediffusion in the redrawn franchise pattern. Following changes to the ITV network structure, ***ABC Television*** lost all its franchises. To preserve the sizeable ABC, the ITA proposed ABC and Rediffusion should form a new company: Thames Television. The parent companies of ABC and Rediffusion created Thames as a separate entity and Rediffusion went off the air on July 29, 1968.

#### July 30, 1968: ATV goes seven-days-a-week in the Midlands and Thames Television opens

Subsequent to the changes made by the ITA to the regional structure of the Independent Television service, ***ATV*** was awarded the franchise to provide a seven-day Independent Television service for the Midlands region which carried on until 1982.

ABC and Rediffusion joined forces as Thames Television to broadcast weekdays.

Hawaii Five-0 (1968)

***Hawaii Five-O*** is an American police procedural drama series produced by CBS Productions and Leonard Freeman. Set in Hawaii, the show originally aired for 12 seasons from September 20, 1968 to April 5, 1980, and continues in reruns. At the airing of its last episode, it had been the longest running police drama in television history.

Jack Lord portrayed Detective Captain Steve McGarrett, the head of a special state police task force which was based on an actual unit that existed under martial law in the 1940s. The theme music composed by Morton Stevens became especially popular. Many episodes would end with McGarrett instructing his subordinate to "Book 'em, Danno!", sometimes specifying a charge such as "murder one".

The show first aired in the UK on July 19, 1970.

Jingle All The Way (1996)

> *"Two Dads, One Toy, No Prisoners."*
>
>

***Jingle All the Way*** is an American comedy film directed by Brian Levant and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sinbad, with Phil Hartman, Rita Wilson, Jake Lloyd, James Belushi and Robert Conrad. The plot focuses on two rival fathers, workaholic Howard Langston (Schwarzenegger) and stressed out postal worker Myron Larabee (Sinbad), both desperately trying to get a Turbo-Man action figure for their respective sons on a last minute shopping spree on Christmas Eve.

Inspired by real-life Christmas toy sell-outs for products such as the Cabbage Patch Kids and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the film was written by Randy Kornfield. Producer Chris Columbus rewrote the script, adding in elements of satire about the commercialisation of Christmas, and the project was picked up by 20th Century Fox. Delays on Fox's reboot of Planet of the Apes allowed Schwarzenegger to come on board the film, while Columbus opted to cast Sinbad ahead of Joe Pesci as Myron. Jingle All the Way was set and filmed in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul at a variety of locations, including the Mall of America. After five weeks filming, production moved to California where scenes such as the end parade were shot. The film's swift production meant merchandising was limited to a replica of the Turbo-Man action figure used in the film.

Although some critics felt the film was good family entertainment, it was met with a broadly negative response. Much criticism was attached to the film's script, its focus on the commercialism of Christmas, Levant's direction and Schwarzenegger's performance. Nevertheless, it proved a success at the box office, generating $129 million worldwide, and it receives regular broadcasts on television during the Christmas season.

Between The Lines (UK TV series)

***Between the Lines*** is a television police drama series created by J. C. Wilsher and produced by World Productions for the BBC. It was first shown on BBC1 between 1992 and 1994, running for three series.

The show centred on the eventful life of Detective Superintendent Tony Clark, played by Neil Pearson. Clark was an ambitious member of the Complaints Investigation Bureau (CIB), an internal organisation of the Metropolitan Police that investigates claims of corruption inside the police force. Along the way Clark had to overcome strong influence from his superiors and problems in his private life, most notably the break-up of his marriage following an affair with WPC Jenny Dean (Lesley Vickerage). Throughout the series Clark was assisted by sidekicks Harry Naylor (Tom Georgeson) and Mo Connell (Siobhan Redmond).

The show became a surprise hit for the BBC, winning a British Academy Television Award (BAFTA) for Best Drama Series in 1994.

Guest stars in the series included many well-known British actors who have gone on to star in other major television dramas and/or movies, including Daniel Craig, James Nesbitt, Jerome Flynn, Bernard Hill, David Morrissey, Jaye Griffiths, Paul Brooke, Francesca Annis, Sylvestra Le Touzel, John Hannah, Michael Kitchen, David Hayman, Hermione Norris, Ray Winstone, Larry Lamb and Hugh Bonneville. Most of them were unknown or less known, prior to their appearances in this series.

"Flash's Theme"

***"Flash"*** is a song by the British rock band *Queen*. Written by guitarist *Brian May*, "Flash" is the theme song of the 1980 film *Flash Gordon*.

There are two versions of the song. The album version (***"Flash's Theme"***) is in fact the start to the movie, with all the dialogue from the first scene. The single version, released *November 24*, 1980, features dialogue cut from various parts of the movie, most memorably, *Brian Blessed*'s character exclaiming "Gordon's alive?!" This version was also included on the *Greatest Hits* compilation from 1981.

The song is sung as a duet between *Freddie Mercury* and Brian May, with *Roger Taylor* adding the high harmonies. May plays all of the instruments except for the rhythm section. He used an Imperial Bösendorfer Grand Piano (with 97 keys instead of 88, having an extra octave on the low range), Oberheim OBX synth (which he plays in the video) and his homemade Red Special electric guitar.

The video for the song was filmed at Anvil Studios, London in November 1980 and directed by Don Norman and features the band performing the song to a screen showing clips from the film.

**Personnel**

Freddie Mercury - lead and backing vocals

Brian May - lead and backing vocals, electric guitar, piano, synthesiser

Roger Taylor - backing vocals, drums, timpani

*John Deacon* - bass guitar

UK DJ Vanguard remixed the theme and released as single during the early DVD release of the film. The single managed to peak at #15 on the UK Singles Charts at that time.

John Otway

***John Otway*** (born October 2, 1952 in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England) is an English singer-songwriter who has built a sizeable cult audience through extensive touring.

Although his first single, "Gypsy"/"Misty Mountain" was released in 1972, Otway shot to fame on the back of punk rock and a gymnastic performance on The Old Grey Whistle Test. His sixth single, the half-spoken love song "Really Free" reached number 27 in the UK Singles Chart in 1977. It would be his greatest success for some time. The song earned him a five-album deal with Polydor Records, who viewed him as a punk rather than merely an eccentric. His first album, recorded with Wild Willy Barrett, was produced by Pete Townshend but sold only fitfully. The follow-up singles fared no better despite some imaginative promotion, which included an offer for Otway to come to a buyer's house and perform the 1979 single, "Frightened And Scared", if their copy was one of only three copies from which the vocal had been omitted. Otway's and Barrett's only other UK chart success came in July 1980 with "DK 50/80", a modest No. 45 hit.

When Otway turned solo, his audience remained loyal despite poor record sales, and perhaps because of the possibility of physical injury during renditions of songs such as "Headbutts". In the mid 1980s, he often appeared on Vivian and Ki Longfellow-Stanshall's showboat, the Old Profanity Showboat, in Bristol's Floating Harbour.

His 1990 autobiography, Cor Baby, That's Really Me (subtitled Rock and Roll's Greatest Failure) was a study in self-deprecation, and his touring continued to sustain him. In the 1990s, he toured as "Headbutts and Halibuts", with Attila the Stockbroker with whom he wrote a surreal rock opera called Cheryl. In 1992 Otway appeared at GuilFest. In 1993 he was able to draw 2,500 fans to a gig in London and, in 1998, 4,000 celebrated his birthday with him at the Royal Albert Hall, coinciding with the release of Premature Adulation, his first album of new material for over ten years.

By then, Otway had realised he could use his fanbase, who were in on the joke, to engage in minor publicity stunts. A grassroots campaign saw his "Beware of the Flowers Cause I'm Sure They're Going to Get You Yeah" voted the seventh greatest lyric of all time in a BBC poll.

Bruce Forsyth

***Sir Bruce Forsyth*** (February 22, 1928 – August 18, 2017) was a British presenter, actor, comedian, singer, dancer, and screenwriter whose career spanned more than 75 years. In 2012, *Guinness World Records* recognised Forsyth as having the longest television career for a male entertainer. Forsyth came to national attention from the mid-1950s through the ITV series *Sunday Night at the London Palladium*. He went on to host several game shows, including *The Generation Game*, *Play Your Cards Right*, *The Price Is Right* and *You Bet!*. He co-presented *Strictly Come Dancing* from 2004 to 2013.

Forsyth started in show business aged 14, with a song, dance, and accordion act called "Boy Bruce, the Mighty Atom" and made his television debut in 1939 as a child, singing and dancing on BBC talent show *Come and Be Televised*, broadcast from Radiolympia, and introduced by Jasmine Bligh.

In 1958, an appearance with the comedian Dickie Henderson led to his being offered the job of compère of Val Parnell's weekly TV variety show, *Sunday Night at the London Palladium*. He hosted the show for two years, followed by a year's break, then returned for another year. His schedule of stage performances, which continued throughout the 1960s, forced him to give up the job of host.

Forsyth's next success was *The Generation Game* (BBC1, 1971–1977, 1990–1994), which proved popular and attracted huge Saturday evening audiences. It was on this show that Forsyth introduced his "The Thinker" pose, emulating Rodin's sculpture, appearing in silhouette each week after the opening titles.

After a couple year's break from television while he took a star role in a musical, London Weekend Television persuaded him to return to the screen later that year to present *Bruce Forsyth's Big Night*. Forsyth remained with ITV, hosting the game show *Play Your Cards Right*, from 1980 to 1987, 1994 to 1999, and a brief period from 2002 to 2003, before the show was cancelled mid-run due to low ratings.

### Career Highlights

#### 1960, 1961, 1971, 1988: The Royal Variery Performance

Forsyth hosted the first televised Royal Variety Performance, broadcast on May 22, 1960, and returned the following year. He also hosted in 1971 and co-presented the 1988 show with Ronnie Corbett.
