BEFORE we begin a BIG shout out to . . Romina Bond, Kornelis Kalsbeek,
Scott Brookman, John Bramwell, Marcia Loisel, Jeffery Kubitz, Jim
Morrow, Michelle Lynn Brooks and Lyn Barnes .. . who I hope are going
to very much enjoy another Peter Cushing #SherlockHolmes episode this evening.. and I hope you do too! 😃The Boscombe Valley Mystery is one of my favourites from the 1968 BBC
television series and it's today's FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE Cushing seems to have much more fun making this
episode and their is some amusing bits of business with him and Nigel Stock's #DrWatson
too. Director Viktors Ritelis seems to have the right touch for
Cushing's style as he directed this and two other episodes of the
series, 'The Musgrave Ritual' and 'The Solitary Cyclist'.
SADLY, BOTH EPISODES were victims of the 'BBC great '#junking,
wipe and reuse' exercise of the 60's, 70's and 80's. Although the
practice was once very common, wiping is now practised much less
frequently and since the establishing of an 'archival policy' for
television began in 1978, BBC archivists and others have over the years
used various contacts in the UK and abroad to try to track down missing
programmes. It is hoped maybe one day, the missing #PeterCushing
Sherlock Holmes episodes will be found . .and we can enjoy them all!
Meanwhile, I trust you are all safe and well and your holiday weekend,
finds you and yours in good spirits 😀Please stay in, stay well and safe 😀 - Marcus
