The Footage Detectives on Talking Pictures TV Mike Read joins Talking Pictures TV founder Noel Cronin on his quest to track down old films, footage and programmes. In this weeks episode they uncover a short film of holiday snapshots from 1958 and look at a newly discovered episode of the series Boyd QC, a British court and legal drama transmitted from December 1956 to 1964 by the ITV franchise holder, Associated-Rediffusion. It focused on a barrister in a London courtroom, played by Michael Denison and the cases in which he was involved, running for seven series in total. Of around 80 episodes only a handful have been found so far. Created and written by Jack Roffey (a real-life assize court official) and filmed in semi-doc- umentary style, the series was one of the first programmes to explore the world of the British judiciary, becoming a major hit. This episode, entitled The Shropshire Lass, stars June Laverick and the credits say she’s in the film by kind permission of Rank. June Laverick is probably best remembered as the fictional wife of Dickie Henderson in The Dickie Henderson Show. Taking Pictures viewers will have seen June in Follow A Star with Norman Wisdom and as Princess Maria in The Duke Wore Jeans. Airs: Sunday 12th September 12pm.
