Dear Supporters of Film and TV History, Hoping you are all well in these strange times. It has certainly been a month of ‘Keep Calm and ’ here! We were so sad to hear the recent news of the sad loss of French singer and actress Juliet Gréco who was recently seen in Whirpool and The Big Gamble on Talking Pictures TV. Also, our own dear Dame Diana Rigg DBE sadly passed away recently; there is a tribute to her on page 12. Good news on the ‘lost film can’ front – we’ve found another episode of No Hiding Place on 16mm from a viewer’s private collection! Lots of interesting short films have also been brought forward – so do keep on checking your lofts, sheds and under the bed…. ’m very proud of our new DVD release this month - it’s a charming film with George Cole and Prunella Scales:The Ghost of Greville Lodge. A wonderful film for all the family and a nice gift. Noel was the Executive Producer on the film and we have very fond memories as a family of being on set with George and Prunella. I was actually supposed to play one of the parts, but alas I didn’t make it through to the final audition! It’s presented with optional subtitles for the very first time and just£10 with FREE UK postage. Details on pages 2 and 3. The second project I’ve been working on this month is a wonderful AUDIO BOOK of SCROOGE narrated by dear George Cole himself. It’s a brilliant 4 disc collection to sit by the fire with and listen to the dulcet tones of dear George narrating this yuletide tale. Just £15 with FREE UK postage for discs. More details on pages 14-15. This extra special release celebrates the 150th anniversary of Charles Dickens. For the lady in your life, or a treat for yourself, there’s some very special Handmade Earrings, the perfect stocking filler, on pages 16-17, completely unique! I am proudly wearing my pair as I type! They are not available in any shops.

Until next month, stay safe, stay tuned to Talking Pictures TV and please, keep on spreading the word! As we face a time where many can find themselves lonely, it would be nice to introduce them to Talking Pictures and become part of our TPTV family, so please, ring that friend and chat about a film on this afternoon, or what’s coming up at the weekend – it’s so important. And finally – here’s one of my favourite film quotes to cheer us all up from the comedy Two Way Stretch: [Fred’s wife has brought in a baby when she visits Fred in prison] Fred: How old is he now, my love? Fred’s wife: Eight months, dearest. [Fred looks suspicious and counts on his fingers] Fred:But I’ve been in here nearly two years. [Fred’s wife smiles sweetly] Fred’s wife: Oh yes, Fred. But you sent me some *lovely* letters! Hopefully you will find something to purchase in this magazine– it all helps keep that projector turning!!!
