Merry Christmas Whirligigers! You registered to be informed of updates to the WHIRLIGIG 1950's BRITISH TV AND RADIO NOSTALGIA site. December 2002 Newsletter. As promised last time, this month's new video clips all come from children's adventure series and you will find them on the following pages: The Buccaneers starring starring Robert Shaw as Dan Tempest: http://www.whirligig- tv.co.uk/tv/children/other/adventure.htm#Buccaneers Sir Francis Drake starring Terence Morgan: http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/tv/children/other/adventure.htm#Drake Sword of Freedom starring Edmund Purdom as Marco de Monte: http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/tv/children/other/adventure.htm#Sword of Freedom Ivanhoe starring Roger Moore with Robert Brown as Gurth: http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/tv/children/ivanhoe/ivanhoe.htm A new seasonal snippet was added which emanated fom the Message Board. I thought that, as it was very amusing, I would save it for posterity so that it didn't eventually get removed from the web as it expired. You will find it here: http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/tv/memories/snippets/index.htm I have updated some pages with new pictures such as The Scarlet Pimpernel, Mick and Montmerency, Arthur Haynes, Armchair Theatre, Skyport, Holiday Town Parade and Lunch Box. You can find all these pages via the A-Z index page at: http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/tv/siteindex.htm BBC 7 is a new digital radio station which was launched last week in the UK and is also available over the Internet. It carries vintage classic comedy and drama programmes from the BBC archives such as The Goons, Hancock etc. and is well worth a look. You will find it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7 Seasons Greetings to you all. You will find your Whirligig Christmas Card here: http://www.whirligig-tv.co.uk/tv/links/xmas.htm =================================================================== As usual, if you think of anything that is missing or incorrect, have any more information about the programmes featured or just want to share your memories, do drop me a line to terry@whirligig-tv.co.uk Alternatively place them on the Message Board which I monitor daily at: http://go.ezboard.com/bwhirligigtv It only remains to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
