Play for Today: The Fishing Party (BBC, 1972)

"There'll be entrées."

"Entrées?"

"What's entrées?"

"Don't be ignorant."

"Entrées! You've seen it on the side of a meat bottle label, haven't you?"

"I never read meat sauce bottle labels."

"You ought to start. A revelation, they are. It says on the label: to be taken with fish, cheese, meat, and entrées. And that's what we'll get. Entrées."

"Well, I don't know what entrées are!"

"Oh, well, leave it on the side of your plate."

Terson wrote this play for them in 72 and it was #Successful enough to spawn two sequels‚ also under the PfT banner. All three concern the misadventures of a trio of miners and their #Interactions with an increasingly middle class world; the three fit the classic three stooges mould‚ if somewhat softened. Glover is the #Self appointed leader‚ slightly pompous and concerned with the betterment of his two fellows. Mort is the easygoing follower‚ content to go #Along with the others. Livingstone (himself a prolific writer who had already contributed scripts to PfT) is the one more liable to #Challenge Glover or to sound a note of negativity. Regardless all three are thoroughly loveable creations and it isn't hard to see why they #Were brought back. The play is honestly a delight‚ as the trio‚ seemingly oblivious to the hostility and price gauging of their guest house #Hosts‚ attempt their best to behave well and make a good impression; as well as doing some fishing and avoiding the call of the brown ale.#Of course they can't resist too long and the fishing trip itself quickly becomes a doomed enterprise. The plot is really secondary here to #The sheer joy of spending time with these three wonderful characters‚ and hearing Terson's typical blend of the poetic with the earthily #Naturalistic‚ in the hands of three brilliant actors. Glover plays this perfectly‚ so that his character never becomes overbearing or #Frustrating (even when he insists the three should not occupy the same room at any point in the guest house‚ it just not being done) nor #Making him a total fool or figure of fun. Rather‚ his over concern with appearances and matching his middle class hosts becomes endearing #Ultimately‚ despite their attempts to present an enhanced version of themselves‚ in their simple honesty and good heartedness the three are #Already the superior to their hosts. Not that this is as patronising as I may be making it sound. Really‚ it's just a simple little tale #About three friends whose camaraderie and affection can overcome anything; even their own over enthusiasm..

Doomwatch: The Devil's Sweets (1.7, BBC, 1970)

"You are conditioning them to react to, um, a chequerboard stimuli."

"Yes."

"With food reward?"

"Yes."

"How traditional. Well, hardly experimental."

"Pavlovian psychology was never a dead end! It's not just the nibble and the bell, the rat lost in a maze..."

"More advanced."

"Obviously."

"Mmm, obviously."

She actually gets a bit of plot this week!#Unfortunately that plot involves her being unconscious for quite a lot of the second half of the episode. Swings and roundabouts i guess #This one feels a bit rough around the edges. What exactly was the drug that caused the bad reaction (as it wasn't what Doomwatch initially #Thought)? Or did i miss that? Where did the irresponsible scientist of the week get to when he ran off? Still it's very topical and maurice #Roëves wears a see thru shirt that has to be seen to be believed. Quist is a bit of a bastard here and there are hints that with Doomwatch #Sometimes the ends will justify the means...a worrying thought considering that's exactly the sort of thing they're in place to critique

Increase Mather

The man who had two conversions

John Comer experienced two conversions, one involving salvation and one, sanctification. Comer was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on Aug. 1, 1704, during a time that it was not unusual for Congregationalists and Baptists to be a member of the same Congregational church. In this case Comer’s pastor was the famed Dr. Increase Mather. He…
