Patrick rarely gave interviews and came over very shy on camera. He seemed happier being in character.<br clear="none">

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!<br clear="none">

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.<br clear="none">

<div>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)?</div>

<div style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;font-size:11pt;">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.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
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.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
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.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
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.<br clear="none">
Remarkable technology at that time.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I must admit I've never seen The Forsythe Saga. From recommendations I must rectify that in the near future!<br clear="none">
