Astile Doherty Productions | British Broadcast: A History of Lost Television (PART SEVEN) @AstileDohertyProductions | Uploaded November 2021 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
In today's rather belated instalment, we explore the television legacy and the infamous bookshelf incident of much-loved comedian Charlie Drake, the Queen's children's favourite game show Crackerjack, the largely forgotten science-fiction series Counterstrike, and the elusive adaptation of Dickens' final and darkest novel The Mystery of Edwin Drood.

Apologies for the delay, it's been a crazy month or so.

UPDATE: The Mystery of Edwin Drood (1960) was an ITV production, NOT a BBC production. Here is a link to an updated video I made regarding the topic of Drood and his many obscure adaptations: youtube.com/watch?v=x-nBup6l5hg
