Happy New Year to all our listeners!
To begin 2024, we take a deep chin stroking review of The Gold Robbers, whose Saturday repeats are winding down on Talking Pictures TV. The series is on the cusp of change for the classic television that flitted across the black and white screens of the UK from the Suez Crisis of 1956 until 1974's three day week, which is of course the Golden Age that co hosts Guy Morgan and David Newell champion in their self appointed role of keepers of the vintage TV flame.
We ask: did Guy remember that scene correctly from his cradle all those years ago?
Just how much violence was acceptable at the end of the sixties?
And did the success of such a long running serial lead LWT to double down and make six months worth of the much maligned (by us) Manhunt?

As always, rights in all music and clips belong to the holders and are used here for educational purposes. And don't forget,
The Gold Robbers theme by Max Harris can be tracked down at all good online retailers.
