Is the pilot found?

[sonotavailable]

I had a look at IMDB, and found something about the long lost pilot:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074035/board/nest/170653245

Anyone in US able to have a look?

Cheers!

Yeah! Wow! That's like finding the Holy Grail of TOL episodes! Hopefully
the BBC will release that on DVD one day soon. (Not that it would do us Yanks
any good as it's nigh on impossible to get hold of any TOL DVDs on this
side of the pond.)

Also, just below the listing of TOL, did anyone notice the photo of Bernard
Cribbins in a still from "Charlie's Aunt" (1961)? (He was the policeman in
the Peter Cushing "Doctor Who: Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150 AD", and then
Wilfred Mott, Donna Noble's grandad in David Tennant's final 'series' of the
"New Who".) I know this is a bit off topic – OK, way off topic – but it
makes me wonder how many missing "Doctor Who" episodes are in that Library of
Congress. (All packed away in that box next to the Ark of the Covenant, no
doubt!)

Dino.
P.S. Hey, Linda! I saw "Uncle Chuck" (Jr.) the other day and we had a nice
chat, and talked about how small this planet really is!

I hope so, I've never seen the pilot show, lets hope.

I'm going to email the BBC about this, a see what they've got to say, I
suggest anyone else who is interested does the same.

The more noise we can make the better.

I never even knew there WAS a pilot show, like most of us I guess. Any way
of getting it from Amazon or Ebay here in the USA? And may I thank from the
bottom of my heart the kind group pal who sent me the autographed pic of
Peter Gilmore and Anne Stallybrass. I am sorry, I lost your email address. I
gave my husband the photo for Valentine's Day, and he just loved it, and
plans to put it on the wall where his wooden schooner models are displayed.
Our people are so good hearted and willing to share, what a pleasure.

If this is ever released into the public domain it'll soon be on http://www.TheBox.bz and able to be torrent downloaded. CJB.

I would think there has to be some talking between the Library and BBC
before this is settled. Unless someone closer to the matter knows anything to
the contrary, I believe the BBC still holds the rights to TOL, or at least
the estate of Cyril Abraham does. So it could take a while before this
particular find becomes public domain. (I could be wrong; if I am, someone
please correct me.)

First Mervyn Haisman, and now …

Very sad to read of the passing of Tom Pat (T.P.) McKenna, who played an Irish mountebank in the last series of Onedin. I was always a huge fan, and grabbed the opportunity to get to know him when he worked on the show. A delightful, funny man who had a helpful word for everyone. Well, nearly everyone. I expect he and Pennant Roberts are now back at each other's throats in the BBC Club In The Sky.

There'll soon be no-one left from the show at this rate. Look at how many Onedin people have left us in the last six months.

So sad.I was always a great fan of his.

I could borrow a quote and say "Everything has its time, and everything
dies."

News of anyone's passing is sad enough without it having to be someone
we've gotten to know. I was greatly depressed when Michael Billington (and Jon
Pertwee) passed, as I had corresponded with them both many times, Michael
Billington many more times, and I miss not getting letters from Mr. Pertwee
and e-mails from "Mike" as he said to call him. So, I share in the feeling
of loss over Mr. McKenna's passing.

However, to turn the phrase, rather than dwelling on how many Onedin people
we've lost, let's give due mourning to those we have, but let us also
think of all the Onedin people that we still have left to us, to correspond
with, possibly meet one day, and have a chance to talk with.

Who was John Pertwee in the cast?? I loved Michael Billington, and
although his replacement (can't think of name) was very good too, so smooth and
such a wonderful voice, Michael had that rough and ready, tough around the
edges bad boy quality that was so appealing. Would love to have seen him in
the role with Elizabeth in those later years.

As far as I know, Jon Pertwee never appeared in TOL, however he was the
actor who played the 3rd "Doctor Who" taking over the role from Doctor #2
Patrick Troughton, and then passing the role to 4th Doctor Tom Baker (who wore
the 12-foot multicolored scarf).

In the few episodes I was able to see back in the '70s, Michael Billington
was indeed a better "fit" for Daniel Fogarty. Unfortunately the way the
different TOL series filming was scheduled, Mike wasn't available due to
other project commitments to continue the role although he said he would have
liked to, so they got a "close enough" look-alike to take over.
