To Catch a Rat is one of the best episodes of The New Avengers on this revisit. Ian Hendry is really good here too. A definite hit.
This new restoration is opening up the series for me. At not a hint of AI too!

Remembering the one and only Oscar Wilde, who died on this day in 1900.
Here’s a little pencil sketch I did of his prison door at Reading Gaol. To take a closer look – or, indeed, to buy the original sketch – check out the link below. 🏳️🌈

Remembering Michael Craze on his Birthday.
50 YEARS AGO TODAY: Russell Harty talks to David Bowie via satellite from LA and it's difficult to say for sure which one of them finds it more awkward.
BOWIE BAFFLED BY RUSSEL HARTY ~ FULL BROADCAST 28/11/1975
Here David is interviewed on The Russell Harty Show over a satellite connection in 1975.
The interview was an awkward affair, made more difficult by the time delay of the satellite link and not forgetting this is at the height of his cocaine addiction Bowie is Clearly not comfortable, looking bemuse
