Bill Brand & Fear of Shadows
28 Oct 2018 01:32 pmI am all behind with what I've been watching, as well as other things. In the summer, I watched Bill Brand (Thames TV 1976), starring Jack Shepherd in the title role, as a ex-college lecturer and idealistic new Labour MP for an industrial northern borough. It also featured Lynn Farleigh as his wife, Cherie Lunghi as his girlfriend (amusingly, called Alex Ferguson) & Alan Badel.
It was quite a high-profile series at the time and earned Jack Shepherd a BAFTA nomination, but I had very mixed feelings about it. ( Maybe it would have been better without Bill Brand? )
I have also watched two (and a bit) episodes of the psychological horror anthology Shadows of Fear, ( Mixed feelings, but also pretty pics and the Revenge of Isabel Archer on the wrong suitor (but it's easy to make a mistake when everyone's called Ed )
* I am still grudgy at Ed Bishop for pushing her down the stairs in UFO. I am delighted she got her revenge, even if she got confused about which Ed she should be sending down the stairs. These things are perfectly understandable, and they were both mean to her anyway.
