MM, if you say so. I remember next to nothing about it.

I do have two episodes of Doomwatch on dvd though. They're quite fun.

Doomwatch is one of the few series I've never seen. Which is starnge, as it's exactly the sort of thing you'd expect you to have seen.

No worries. I only paid £4 for it (mostly because I'd never seen it either), so not a tragedy if it goes astray, methinks. smiley - biggrin

My brother has a complete set of the Kit Pedlar/Gerry Davis novelizations, as well...smiley - yikes Still in mint condition smiley - yikessmiley - yikes

£4? Off a market jobby was it?

The Doomwatch novelizations? I've seen a couple of those at fairs, bu they looked so refolting tatty, I gave them a miss.

Yeah. The Beeb licensed Doomwatch off to some bunch of chancers rather than release it themselves, it appears...

Probably figured the sales wouldn't be high enough to make it worth BBC Worldwide's time.

I'm guessing. Quality is ropey (and that s the original VT, not the dvd transfer), and they only appear to have the two eopisodes left in any event.

I'm afraid Doomwatch fell foul of the great BBC purge in the 70s smiley - sadface, that much I do know.

Very possibly. I know they saw fit to junk things like Panarama and Tomorrow's World from the 60s. I'm sure there's a complete record of Match of the Day though smiley - cross

Mind you of course, Nationwide was part of the legendary Monday night line up that cost more than Blakes 7...smiley - laugh
