Thank you for that. I didn’t know an awful lot about Patrick Troughton, so it was very interesting.

It’s an interview not too long before he died in 1987, by Perry Philip at station KTEH in San Jose, California. Hope this link works for you!

Doctor Who Patrick Troughton Interview (KTEH)

(Re-edited for copyright reasons.) Patrick Troughton, the Second Doctor from "Doctor Who", rarely gave interviews. But in 1986, one year before his passing, ...

Fascinating! I wonder if the Patrick Troughton interview was from Pebble Mill At One from 1973? This was included on The Three Doctors DVD.

Patrick rarely gave interviews and came over very shy on camera. He seemed happier being in character.

I was fortunate to see him in person at the Doctor Who 20th Anniversary exhibition at Longleat in 1983. I'm certainly far more a Patrick Troughton fan than Doctor Who. I was great seeing my hero in person, even if he appeared as Doctor Who!

Regarding Softly, Softly: On Reddit, there’s a subgroup called r/oldbritishtelly, which includes a segment of same. It does appear that many of these “pickups” are from YouTube. Hey, I got to see Otto Klemperer and Richard Strauss and Adrian Boult and Barbirolli and Patrick Troughton being interviewed and...

Hi Scott,

Found this on Wikipedia. Unfortunately the first series of BBC tv's "Cuff" no longer exists but the second series survives according to Wikipedia.

Unfortunately the BBC are unlikely to release this seeing the first series is missing but don't lose hope as, "Softly Softly Task Force" from 1969+ survives intact (one or two as b&w film recordings I believe) which was the sequel to the original, "Softly Softly" where only one episode survives.

Brian: 

Your tech notes never fail to impress. I do know that a sad amount of television no longer exists because videotape was used over and over; have you (has anyone?) ever seen/heard of Cluff, a regional police series with John McKelvey? Do you know where else I might catch this amazing actor (yes, I’ve scoured the Internet Movie Database)?

Curious George...er, Scott

Indeed Scott TFS is probably the only B&W videotaped series to survive on their original 2" format. Most programmes, if lucky to have survived at all only exist on 16mm telerecordings' (Kinescopes I understand being the American term), at variable quality for overseas sale.

Indeed, many programmes made in colour only survive as B&W film recordings as well. The situation was similar with the ITV company ATV Network who distributed their programmes under the ITC banner. One of my childhood favourites, "Timeslip" from 1970-71 I well remember watching in colour, except for five made in B&W through the colour strike that also affected 8 AFAW episodes.  Sad to think only variable quality B&W film copies survive (except Episode 12), but under the circumstances we should be grateful it's survived at all.

Anyway, back on topic. TFS could have indeed been made in colour as the 625- line network BBC 2 commenced colour transmissions in 1967, very soon after broadcast. I understand it was repeated on the main BBC 1 a year later which continued exclusive 405-line VHF broadcasts along with ITV until November 1969 when duplication to 625-line UHF colour started in a few areas.

The BBC recorded everything in 625-line mode from mid 1967 whether shown on BBC 1 405 or BBC 2 625 via a complex standards converter. In 1968 the BBC produced a version for the color 525-line NTSC standard.
Remarkable technology at that time.

I must admit I've never seen The Forsythe Saga. From recommendations I must rectify that in the near future!

Remarkable to realize The Forsyte Saga was in black and white; many people have such colorful memories of it! I read somewhere it could have been made in color, but management decided otherwise!

I am starting to watch my dvds again and know doubt FaW was the best tv seriel ever. Andthe Forsyte saga came close behind. I still watch my black and white dvds and still marvel at how good it was.
