Too close even at 5pm today. When the boys at HMV were wondering what to put at #1. Surfice to say Leona`s pre-order will top JLS/Robbie. Time for the Flashback to...November 1975: The Top TV, back then (Figures based on the number of homes, rather than individuals) 01 BRUCE FORSYTH AND THE GENERATION GAME 8.40...family fun with Bruce & his 2nd wife Anthea Redfern on Saturday evenings. Strange but true...On 20th Nov 1975, Bruce`s 3rd wife Wilnelia Merced won Miss World for Puerto Rico. The couple met in 1980 while they were judges at the 1980 Miss World contest. 02 THE SWEENEY 8.20...tough action from the Flying Squad on Mondays at 9pm (series 2) 03 CROSSROADS 8.00...the Motel Soap featuring all 4 episodes in this top 20 04 CROSSROADS 7.70 04 OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS 7.70...Monday at 6.45, Hughie Green hosts the talent show 06 CROSSROADS 7.60 07 CORONATION STREET (MON) 7.50...early days for new barman "Fred Gee" (Fred Feast) in the Rovers 07 UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS 7.50...the late Gareth Hunt joined the cast for the Saturday Edwardian drama, now in the World War One period 09 KEN DODD`S WORLD OF LAUGHTER 7.30...Thursday night comedy/singing/sketches from the King of Knotty Ash. The show followed Top Of The Pops on Thurs 09 CROSSROADS 7.30 09 GET SOME IN! 7.30...RAF sitcom fun, in an early show for Robert Lyndsey with Tony Selby as Corporal Marsh on Tuesday nights 12 THE CUCKOO WALTZ 7.10...Monday at 8pm, for this marital bliss sitcom with Diane Keen 13 CORONATION STREET (WEDS) 6.80 14 CARRY ON LAUGHING 6.70...Sunday at 7.25. An ATV version of new comic plays by the Carry On team, which was pretty ghastly 15 PORRIDGE 6.70...Ronnie Barker, Richard Beckingsale, Fulton McKay, & Brian Wilde the first time round 15 BERYL`S LOT 6.70...The story of Beryl Humphries (Carmel McSharry) aged 40, married stuck in a rut. A Yorkshire TV sitcom, running for 52 episodes 17 SALE OF THE CENTURY 6.50...Saturday night, and the Quiz Of The Week from Norwich with Nicholas Parsons, and those instant sales and a car 18 DR WHO 6.40...Saturday ahead of Bruce Forsyth, Tom Baker plays the timelord assisted by Elizabeth Sladen (Sarah Jane), & Harry Sullivan (the late Ian Marter) 19 THE DICK EMERY SHOW 6.30...Saturday sketches galore with the master of disguise, featuring the likes of Lampwick, the Bovver boy, the Vicar, and Mandy 19 NEWS AT TEN 6.30...Monday with Reginald Bosanquet Top Of The Pops pulled in 5.5million homes in 1975. The Basil Brush Show kicked off the BBC`s Saturday evening assisted by Roy North. As Chris Tarrant hosted TISWAS in the ATV region, while future queen of the show Sally James fronted LWT`s "Saturday Scene" in the London area. The unfortunate flop of 1975, was "The Invisible Man" with David McCallum as the scientist who`s experiment went wrong in the Klae Corporation. It was originally shown on Fridays at 7.15. Very popular in Britain, so much so it was shown 4 times between 1975 & 1990. In the US, (where it was made) they didn`t like it. They cancelled it in December 1975, with some episodes unseen there at that point. 6million homes watched weekly in the UK. The final episodes, saw the BBC put it up against ITV`s "Opportunity Knocks" on Mondays. In 1976, the US recreated it as "Gemini Man" with Ben Murphy injured in a radiation blast under the sea while working for INTERSECT. This failed worse, and wasn`t so clever in the UK either. Towards the end of that series the female part "Abby Lawrence" (played by Katherine Crawford) was dropped, and never explained on screen. Two episodes were tied together for a film in 1981 called "Riding With Death". Even more incoherent was the disappearance of the "Abby" character, and the amazing growing of Leonard Driscoll`s (William Sylvester`s) moustache! On watching the series again recently, I realised that most of the stories, had been basically nicked from previous stories of the 1975 Invisible Man series anyway. The Top Albums in Nov 1975: 01 01 40 GOLDEN GREATS - JIM REEVES 02 08 SIREN - ROXY MUSIC 03 07 GREATEST HITS - PERRY COMO 04 09 ROCK OF THE WESTIES - ELTON JOHN 05 03 FAVOURITES - PETERS AND LEE 06 04 ATLANTIC CROSSING - ROD STEWART 07 06 BREAKAWAY - ART GARFUNKEL 08 02 WISH YOU WERE HERE - PINK FLOYD 09 20 OMMADAWN - MIKE OLDFIELD 10 05 ALL THE FUN OF THE FAIR - DAVID ESSEX 11 10 VERY BEST OF - ROGER WHITTAKER 12 19 WE ALL HAD DOCTOR`S PAPERS - MAX BOYCE 13 14 ALL AROUND MY HAT - STEELEYE SPAN 14 11 THE BEST OF - THE STYLISTICS 15 15 STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS - PAUL SIMON 16 16 ONE OF THESE NIGHTS - EAGLES 17 12 GOOD BAD BUT BEAUTIFUL - SHIRLEY BASSEY 18 NE SHAVED FISH - JOHN LENNON 19 13 BY NUMBERS - THE WHO 20 17 GREATEST HITS - CAT STEVENS Rod & Shirley back in today`s chart, and Cat Stevens too. People who will never go away. A certain song in 1975 featured the line "Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Alice Cooper, Elton John"...4 faces that will never go away. The Top Singles in Nov 1975: 01 01 SPACE ODDITY - DAVID BOWIE...Bowie`s anthem re-released from 1969 and in 1975 David promoted again with Janet Street Porter on LWT 02 03 LOVE IS THE DRUG - ROXY MUSIC...Recently said by a High Street Store to be known by all ages. I think Bryan did do better work. 03 10 D.I.V.O.R.C.E. - BILLY CONNOLLY...The Big Yin popping at Tammy Wynette, and not for the last time either 04 05 RHINESTONE COWBOY - GLEN CAMPBELL...Glen`s return after 4 years way 05 13 LOVE HURTS - JIM CAPALDI...Jim formerly of Traffic doing a well covered song, the Everlys, Roy Orbison, and even Nazereth 06 09 HOLD BACK THE NIGHT - TRAMMPS...On the dancefloor with R N`B/Disco outfit 07 08 BLUE GUITAR - JUSTIN HAYWARD/JOHN LODGE...Out of the Moody Blues, and known as the Blue Jays 08 23 IMAGINE - JOHN LENNON...John`s first time for the single, with the album around since 1971 09 04 WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MADE - ESTHER PHILLIPS...written in 1934, and well covered again, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughan, and Jamie Cullum 10 18 NEW YORK GROOVE - HELLO...originally know as the "Age", they cut 19 singles and the band featured Keith Marshall the 1981 singer of "Only Crying" fame 11 02 I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU - ART GARFUNKEL...Art`s first solo #1, and another oldie covered later by Jamie Cullum. It came from the 1934 film "Dames" 12 14 I AIN`T LYIN`- GEORGE MCCRAE...I would say this is George`s best, although forgotten somewhat. He reached the age of 65 just 3 weeks ago 13 35 YOU SEXY THING - HOT CHOCOLATE...Errol and co`s best remembered by everybody, and in 1975 it did peaked at #1 in at least one chart 14 06 FEELINGS - MORRIS ALBERT...another old tune with the melody based on a Loulou Gaste 1957 piece 15 27 SKY HIGH - JIGSAW...originally from Rugby & Coventry and the first to sing the song "Who Do You Think You Are" which was nicked by Candlewick Green (74) 16 15 HIGHFLY - JOHN MILES...Up to Jarrow, John was orriginally in band "The Influence" and this was his first uk hit and was covered by the Crackerjack team 17 19 RIDE A WILD HORSE - DEE CLARK..Dee`s chart comeback after 16 years. He was from Arkansas, and died at just 52 in 1990 18 07 SOS - ABBA...The gang`s first toptenner in 18 months since winning Eurovision in 1974. SOS, I would say is their best in the timeless sense 19 28 RIGHT BACK WHERE WE STARTED FROM - MAXINE NIGHTINGALE...British R N`B from Wembley. Maxine was 57 12 days a go. Her first hit 20 49 BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY - QUEEN...What do you say about this? Well Radio One thought it would flop!

In 1975 he was in Britain! 22 31 LYIN`EYES - EAGLES...The 2nd uk hit single for the boys, chiefly an album band. They came from Los Angeles 23 21 SCOTCH ON THE ROCKS - BAND OF THE BLACKWATCH...the best bagpipe piece, and the catchiest. The Regiment became the Highland Band in 1994 24 11 THERE GOES MY FIRST LOVE - DRIFTERS...The group with 3 different line-ups. This being the 3rd. Grant Kitchings (of the Inkspots) joint at this point 25 12 DON`T PLAY YOUR ROCK N`ROLL TO ME - SMOKEY...The group led by Chris Norman from Bradford that changed the spelling to Smokie after this 26 30 DARLIN`- DAVID CASSIDY...the pin-up doing oldies more often, this time covering the Beach Boys from 1968 27 25 ROCK ON BROTHER - CHEQUERS...2 hits from this lot from Yorkshire 28 NE THIS OLD HEART OF MINE - ROD STEWART...Rod doing a solo of an Isley Brothers classic, really well. 29 33 SUPERSHIP - GEORGE "BAD" BENSON...the first hit and original name of George!

Put together for Fleetwood Mac 33 22 WHO LOVES YOU - FOUR SEASONS...Franki Valli and the return for the Four Seasons since 1967 34 20 IT`S TIME FOR LOVE - CHI-LITES...forming out of 2 doo-wop groups from the 50s in 1964 from Chicago 35 40 ROCKY - AUSTIN ROBERTS...Guitarist/Singer who actually did songs on Cartoon series "Josie And The Pussycats" & "Scooby Doo, Where Are You?" 36 42 CHANGE WITH THE TIMES - VAN MCCOY/SOUL CITY SYMPHONY...the late Van, all rounder producer, composer died in 1979 at just 39 37 47 GOOD-BYE-EE - 14/18...this one came from a TV commercial for Courage Beer, all over the telly on ITV 38 29 UNA PALOMA BLANCA - JONATHAN KING...the last hit where he used his own name instead of a made up group name 39 39 ARE YOU BEING SERVED SIR - JOHN INMAN...the late star, a-tributing his BBC sitcom in comic form 40 48 PAPA OOM MOW MOW - GARY GLITTER...a well covered song originally done by the Rivingtons in 1962. Also covered by the Beach Boys, the Freshmen, and the Sharonettes (who also took their version into the top 40 in the Spring of 1975) Finally in 1975, did you pick up your copy of Bruce Springsteen`s "Born To Run" from the bargain bin at the local store? That was where it finished up, as a huge flop.

November 13, 200915 yr Going back to Doctor Who in 1975 - which week are you using for the TV chart? The Doctor Who story airing from 25 October to 15 November was the excellent Pyramids Of Mars which doesn't feature Ian Marter but the next serial, The Android Invasion (which aired from 22 November to 13 December did. It was his last serial for Doctor Who and the first in which he'd appeared since the Terror Of The Zygons finished in mid September and even that had originally been intended as the last serial of the previous season which would have finished in June 1975. However, the powers that be were worried about the impact the ITV debut of Space:1999, due to appear in September, may have on a later starting Doctor Who and the new season was brought forward with the Zygons serial kept back to kick off the new season. After this season it became something of a tradition to start the new Who season in September until the BBC moved Doctor Who to weeknights in 1982 and in doing so set in chain the events that would kill off the programme first time around...

It was the week of "Pyramids Of Mars". Though, I didn`t use the individual story cast. I took it from the season`s full cast. I seem to remember that Ian first appeared in the Jon Pertwee story "Carnival of Monsters", although he played a different character other than "Harry". That story got a BBC2 repeat in November 1981 (Mon-Thurs). Ian was also a writer of DW stories too, of course....and remember the spin-off book "Harry Sullivan`s War?"
November 13, 200915 yr Thanks Dave Shocked to see BEPs at number 1 (haven't been following the midweeks!) Surprising to see Agnes ahead of Alesha Dixon and Rihanna on pre orders! :mellow: It's great tho :w00t:
November 13, 200915 yr Author Your nice. Are you not a fan of it then. :( There are many ex-BBC employees who detest it. I`ll tell you why...Eastenders budget was so big in 1985, that it was the reason certain BBC shows getting shelved/cancelled. This included the slashing of the budgets of series, like the afore mentioned "Dr Who". Michael Grade used cheapo repeats to fill gaps of cancelled shows, such as "The Muppet Show". Your licence fee accounted for a big proportion too. Enders also, was a con in the ratings with the weekday showings (Tues/Thurs) being added to the Sunday repeat. Falsely giving it the #1 show, when it infact was still Coronation Street. Also, if you really believe 29million watched the Christmas day episode in 1986, then let you be told that this also included 6million of the Sunday Omnibus. A con, and a programme that in my humble opinion ruined the BBC Schedules. Real people living in the real East End are quite happy go lucky too, where as the people in Eastenders are psychopathic manic depressives! :lol:

Real people living in the real East End are quite happy go lucky too, where as the people in Eastenders are psychopathic manic depressives! :lol: Hence why I always called the show Depressenders. I've always found Eastenders very over r rated and depressing. At least (my favourite soap) Brookside always had flourishes of light and humour to counteract frequent depressing storylines.

It even had a decent theme tune.
November 13, 200915 yr It was the week of "Pyramids Of Mars". Though, I didn`t use the individual story cast. I took it from the season`s full cast. I seem to remember that Ian first appeared in the Jon Pertwee story "Carnival of Monsters", although he played a different character other than "Harry". That story got a BBC2 repeat in November 1981 (Mon-Thurs). Ian was also a writer of DW stories too, of course....and remember the spin-off book "Harry Sullivan`s War?"Yes, he first appeared in Carnival Of Monsters - which also featured Cheryl Hall who later played Wolfie Smith's girlfriend in Citizen Smith. Ian Marter played the part of one of the ships guests. He was brought into Doctor Who as Harry Sullivan because the show's producer thought the new Doctor after Jon Pertwee left was going to be played by an older actor and Marter would be the person to do all the action scenes. As Tom Baker was relatively young the part became somewhat redundant. I've read his Doctor Who novelisations but I've not read Harry Sullivan's War.
November 13, 200915 yr Absolutely. It was a shame that Brookside was taken off. It even had a decent theme tune.Brookside had basically ran out of ideas by the end as anything and everything that could happen happened in the Close! In the end Channel 4 began to move the programme around, a usually successful way to completely kill off any programme. I was a massive Brookside fan from 1982 to about 1995 but in the late 90s the programme lost its way. Amanda Burton was always my favourite, she looked lovely when she was in Brookside and it was a sad day when she left...

I`m trying to remember who was also lined up to play the Doctor back then. At some point the chap who played "Mr Pastry" was in the running. Richard Hearne was it? Ron Moody was down to take the role of another, and Michael Horden was down to take the Patrick Troughton role I believe.
