Menace (1970-1973)

It says Peter Sallis in the caption, Gerald, and he looks the same build. No help from the newspaper archives, I'm afraid.

I'm sure you'll appreciate this publicity still of fellow Scot Annette Crosbie for the episode Killing Time With compliments:

[Gerald Lovell]

Thanks, cornershop, it's a good picture of Annette, who I think I first noticed as one of THE SIX WIVES OF HENRY VIII.

[Quentin C]

however, don't lose hope everyone, with all these rumours abounding of big archive finds in places like Hong Kong, Sierra Leone etc, "never say never" & I remember "boys & girls come out to play" 1 I'd like to see again ? -didn't it feature Sarah Sutton ? (or am I confusing it with something else ?

Otherwise I do remember it being extremely creepy

Another HIGHLY recommended show is "Shadows of Fear"

A repeat showing of the tragically lost episode, with a poor quality
photo of Undermind star Rosemary Nicols to compound the misery:

There's so much stuff on the Internet, I couldn't possibly post every discovery I've made. If you like, I can send a copy of my folder for Menace.

As you mentioned George Cole's performance in Killing Time at his obituary thread, I think you'll like this picture of him:

Thanks Cornershop,

Very interesting..I wonder will an episode or two turn up sometime?...I guess only if the series was sold abroad..

I must watch Killing Time again...It reminds me a bit of the writings of the late great Ruth Rendell...

To discover the missing episodes of MENACE has long been an ambition of mine, but from reading the above schpiel, it sounds as if the Snoo Wilson play listed was rather interesting as well!! Anyone know if THAT still exists?
