Remembering Patrick McGoohan, BOTD in 1928 in Astoria, Queens, NYC. Actor, director, writer. Unpredictable, creative, self-willed, demanding, anarchic. More than anything else, perhaps, a unique force of nature. Six of my favourite on-screen Pat performances... 1/7

@DavidFakrikian Yes, Falk and Moore got on well. It would have been fun.
English
@RodneyMarshall1 I wonder why Roger Moore never got into a Columbo episode. I'm guessing by then, his career had switched to film only? I would have loved to see him in a later day Columbo.
English
All in the game. Lieutenant Columbo about to test Dr. Bart Kepple's powers of concentration in Double Exposure, Robert Culp's third outing as a Columbo-land killer. Culp was one of Peter Falk's favourite guest stars and their on-screen chemistry was magical.

@RodneyMarshall1 "I can’t swim. I don’t even like a deep tub."
English
An exercise in futility for Milo Janus trying to get Columbo to follow his fitness regime. He can't swim, struggles to jog, and seems to be allergic to the vitamin + carrot juice breakfast. Mind you, his mind is alert.

4:31am 19th March 1928… Patrick McGoohan was born 98 years ago today. Posthumous birthday wishes Patrick! #theprisoner #manyhappyreturns #patrickmcgoohan

Finally a healthy body in a TV series.

@colinb13 Lovely human being as well, with a wonderful sense of humour.
English
@RodneyMarshall1 Ah, the lovely Sue Lloyd. Should have been a far, far bigger star. Lit up just about anything she appeared in.
English
It wouldn't be an ITC action-adventure series without at least one location shoot in a quarry or land fill. Sue Lloyd seeing the funny side of things on a Baron location shoot. 1/3

@DefensorDeDilfs Well, I am one of fifteen contributors. Hope you enjoy it!
English
@postcarddaily He hated it...I think some of the episodes never aired.
English
@RodneyMarshall1 “Rafferty” was an enjoyable TV series of his that never caught on.
English
@normnopper Yes, he was away again - completing the film - for some of The Girl Who Was Death. It did raise the necessary funds to complete The Prisoner though.
English
@RodneyMarshall1 You forgot Ice Station Zebra (1968). In fact, he had to take time away from filming The Prisoner. The result was the excellent episode "Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling" (Ep. 13 or 14).
English
@normnopper It's good fun. Like a Western, but with truckers in the Home Counties of England instead.
English
@RodneyMarshall1 I’d never heard of this movie. But I found it on Prime. It’s on my watch list. From 1957.
English
Who's been sitting in my chair?! A rude awakening for newbie truck driver Tom (Stanley Baker). Dusty (Sid James) and Johnny (Sean Connery) seem amused, but they've probably seen it all before. There's a reason why Red (Patrick McGoohan) drives truck Number 1. #HellDrivers
English
@RobertMutis1 Yes, his clipped line delivery was his speciality.
English
@RodneyMarshall1 His clipped, precise diction was unmistakable and unique. He always projected an air that made me mildly nervous. 😬
English
@price_kerr Wilf was perfect in those roles.

"What if there isn't?"

@RodneyMarshall1 Wilfred Lawson, was very drull, as the site manager!

The Screen Guild Theater lasted 14 seasons and 527 episodes. Until its final two seasons, the radio adaptations lasted thirty minutes, meaning that the writers had to create a taut script. In many cases, the radio adaptations were more atmospheric.
English
The Hollywood actors and studios waived their fees for the radio adaptations. Instead, the money was donated to the Motion Picture Relief Fund, and used to help people who had worked in the industry but who had now fallen on bad times.
English
The Golden Age of Radio. The Screen Guild Theater was an anthology series broadcast from 1939 until 1952. Leading Hollywood stars performed adaptations of popular motion pictures. The main cast members of The Lost Weekend reassembled to make a terrific radio adaptation.

@01Leaford As he dropped into one Danger Man episode, he was a citizen of the world.
English
Because of the prisoner and Danger man, he was English. He'll drivers as well
