The Wednesday Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCalf Love\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dave Mundy, David Brunt<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here is a copy of a prop. photo of actresses Debbie Watling and Isobel Black in  \u201cThe Wednesday Play\u201d episode “Calf Love”.  Warren Mitchell played the father of these lovelies. One sequence to keep any red-blooded male warm on a cold winter night was the scene with both of them in bed together giggling like a pair of naughty school-girls!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Insect Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I worked on the Capek\u2019s \u201cThe Insect Play\u201d in R1 and R2 in 1960, steering the mole – single recording – with a flying wire ballet of butterflies in R2 – Kirby operators struggling to keep the performing acrobats up! (unfortunately a couple fell down!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A<\/span>s opposed to \u201cThe Insect Play\u201d which we did at school with Douglas Adams (he of \u201cHitchhikers Guide\u201d) as the tramp!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wolf Hall (2015)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spencer Chapman
Production Designer BBC Television 1963 – 1978 <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Excellent feel to the production – performances on the whole very good, really good lighting- a true feeling of candlelight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a Production Designer working on many of the BBC’s period drama and serials, I know how difficult it is to achieve not only the correct locations but also to furnish them – often little is the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the first episode I saw furniture and props I had used over many years, the chairs I had recovered for Queen Anne\u2019s privy council and a few pieces from the original \u201cForsyte Saga\u201d. For most of the viewers this will not be a problem – but as in the case of airplanes – buses – cars –  when you have spent much of your working professional life trying to achieve production values that are as correct as possible it cuts across your viewing pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hugh Sheppard<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Spencer’s comments thoroughly endorsed, from one who in the 1940s – yes, the 1940s – went to Sunday School at the Hospital at St Cross, Winchester, and immediately recognised the stable-door where the ‘Wayfarer’s dole’ is still served to this day – but no longer free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
