From Bob Baker and Dave Martin, veteran children's television writers whose memorable credits include Sky, the Wallace and Gromit animations, and several Doctor Who adventures (along with the creation of the Doctor's legendary robot companion, K9), this nautically themed drama chronicles the heroic efforts of a boy and his father to rescue a runaway girl from a gang of kidnappers. Executive-produced by HTV kingpin Patrick Dromgoole, Follow Me stars Ronald Fraser and Ewen Solon alongside Children of the Stones' Ian Donnelly and Katharine Levy in an exciting tale of adventure and suspense. Young Tom Dawes is enthralled by the sight of a fine schooner sailing up the Avon Gorge. But before long, both he and his father have become mixed up in the mystery of a missing girl, a half-recorded message, and sinister intruders at Bristol Docks...
Designed as an offshoot from the legendary Armchair Theatre Out of this World was devised by television colossus Sydney Newman (Doctor Who The Avengers) and Irene Shubik (The Wednesday Play Rumpole of the Bailey) in 1962 to present the science fiction genre at its intelligent best to an adult audience. An anthology series produced by Leonard White dramatising the cream of literary science fiction from such writers as Isaac Asimov Clifford Simak and Philip K. Dick and using the considerable scriptwriting talents of Clive Exton Leon Griffiths and Terry Nation the show was a tremendous success paving the way for Irene Shubik’s later classic series Out of the Unknown. Hosted by veteran actor Boris Karloff each episode explored every aspect of the genre – from satire to suspense from tense drama to sparkling comedy with the greatest flair and invention that Sixties television could provide. This long awaited release presents the only surviving episode an adaptation of Isaac Asimov’s Little Lost Robot with Maxine Audley as the formidable ‘robopsychologist’ Susan Calvin. Also included are two audio recordings of otherwise lost episodes – Impostor By Philip K Dick dramatised by Terry Nation who devised the Daleks for Doctor Who the following year and Cold Equations Tom Godwin’s suspenseful tale featuring a very young Jane Asher the impeccable Peter Wyngarde and a screenplay by Clive Exton. Exton’s script for John Wyndhams’ The Dumb Martian which heralded the series is also included to download.
