Belonging to the “western spy”
genre ..

I didn’t even know that was a thing! 🤷‍♀️

Only really notable for fact the stars of TV’s Lone Ranger have supporting roles in this:

Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels.

Marion always wanted to be a jazz singer and quit college to work in jazz clubs and strip joints which caused her parents to disown her.

Before long she was signed by a record company and achieved stardom on American television in the early '60's.

The Avengers agreed with Barry..

The Monday 17th episode is positively subdued! 😆

The Rovers is essentially unchanged but now with muted hues. “Wood” is no longer orange!

The hospital sets, that had seen much action of late, following the coach crash, were now in a completely different colour scheme.

On the contrary, Coronation Street won’t be more colourful - thank goodness!

In the October - mid November “transition period” studio were scenes shot in colour.

All the sets however were still painted for b/w presentation.
Women’s make up designed for b/w also.

A gruesome looking few episodes.
