Anyone got an entire archive of BBC's Play of the Month?
I'm looking for Jeremy Brett in The School for Scandal 😭

RIP Piers Haggard (18.3.1939 - 11.1.2023)
"I had barely seen a horror film. I was frightfully serious. I had come out of the theatre, my background had been the Royal Court Theatre, National Theatre, and then I got into television in the middle 1960s. I had done quality television, Plays Department and things. I was fairly earnest and arty so I wasn’t really into genre. We didn’t talk about genre so much in those days anyway; everybody talks about genre now. But I wasn’t really into genre."

so much time has passed since we were kids,
Tumblr media
so many things have changed,
Tumblr media
but it's still the same. isn't it?
There is an accidental trend in my tmnt fanart. Its almost as if... many of my fondest childhood memories were spent playing games with my siblings. The rise & 03 ones have been posted before, I just wanted them all together.

Play of the Month: Maigret at Bay (BBC, 1969)
"You've been in the police service a long time, Monsieur Maigret."
"Since I was 22, Monsieur le Prefet."
"So long? And your duties have taken you widely."
"Oh, the Metro, stations, the big stores, vice, gambling."
"And now you're a division commissaire."
"Yes."
"Within five years of retirement."
"And three days."
"In 28 years you must have seen many changes in methods, procedures?"
"The criminals haven't changed."
"And you, like them, prefer to keep to the old ways as well?"
"They work."
#play of the month#maigret at bay#bbc maigret#maigret#georges simenon#donald bull#william slater#rupert davies#helen shingler#neville jason#gillian hills#yootha joyce#mary webster#clive cazes#tony harwood#geoffrey morris#martin miller#donald pickering#a curious epilogue to the BBC Maigret. Maigret at Bay had actually been announced as the inaugural play when the anthology was first#announced in 1964‚ but contractual issues with Simenon and Davies stage commitments had conspired to delay the production. it would take#another 5 years before everything came together and filming could be completed. it was an unusual choice for a strand which largely adapted#classic novels and plays by the likes of Arthur Miller‚ H. G. Wells‚ Somerset Maugham and Shakespeare. it perhaps speaks to the high regard#in which the series had been held (it had been heavily repeated in the intervening years). whatever the motivation‚ the result is that#rarest of things; a fitting coda to a beloved series. an obvious labour of love‚ the production team reunited leads Davies‚ Shingler and#Jason (Ewen Solon was sadly unavailable) with key crew members (excepting chief writer Giles Cooper‚ who had tragically died in 1966)#the sets for Maigret's office and home were recreated faithfully‚ extensive location work carried out in Paris and there is even a truly#delightful acknowledgement of the original series opening titles‚ as Maigret strikes a match on a wall to light his pipe at the beginning.#it can honestly be rare to find this kind of care and clear respect in a belated reunion to a previous series‚ but this is really probably#the very best ending the show could have hoped for: an older Maigret‚ approaching retirement‚ out of step with new superiors but as capable#and as brilliant as ever. a very worthy final outing. Davies never ruled out a return but it wasn't to be; so farewell‚ Insp Maigret
