Nicola Bryant in CBBC drama "The Biz" - 1996

She played Martine, a dance teacher at The Markov School of Dance & Drama.
(Markov was played by Geoffrey Bayldon- series 1 only)
Scenes from series 3, Martine is unhappy about the school being taken over by a film director.

Incidentally - John Nathan-Turner had suggested a series set in a drama school to CBBC a few years earlier (called "Stage Door") but they didn't take him up on it.
He wasn't pleased when The Biz arrived.

30 Years ago, the pilot episode of "Hyperion III" aired😁

This Youtuber has attempted to use AI to unpick Carole Ann Ford's footage from the set of the final episode of Daleks Invasion of Earth.
Not bad at all.
Clearer shot of Richard Martin orchestrating the chaos!

"Doctor Who returns and this time she's on Trial"😁

Morning!
With Victoria Wood.

Here’s a cleanup and colourisation of one of my favourite studio shots from #DoctorWho and the Reign of Terror.

Sixteen years before ‘Logopolis’, the TARDIS police box prop sits inside the TARDIS control room set in Lime Grove Studio G on Friday 10th July 1964 for ‘A Land of ight, the space available in the narrow Studio G at Lime Grove meant that the TARDIS’ arrival in the forest set was pre-taped in the afternoon. The prop was then shifted out of the studio (which I presume is why it’s sitting in the control room here, waiting for some burly BBC men to roll it away). During the main evening taping, the flat police box ‘porch’ built for the pilot was used for the shot of Dr Who locking the doors, saving them a couple of feet of valuable space.

The control room set is still under construction here - the scanner is missing the TV monitor, they haven’t finished laying the metal floor plates, and by the evening session they’d removed the wooden column and the Westminster Abbey clock, and shifted the armillary sphere onto the eagle plinth.

I realise these are all vital details that you definitely couldn’t live without knowing 😇

#OnThisDay 6 November 1980
IS DR WHO, AGED 750, ABOUT TO FACE UP TO SEX?
Bachelor Time Lord #DrWho could become a sex symbol at the ripe old age of 750. For taking control of the flying police telephone box is 29-year-old #PeterDavison, the tastiest looking #DoctorWho so far...

Some of the Purdey outfits that didn't make it to screen😂

😂

Jean Boht's husband says "Where's that boy?" (obviously a good father/son relationship...) and then he explodes and she's in shock..
Or am I misreading it😂

Happy Anniversary of Power of the Daleks part one and Troughton's debut.

I hope there is a collection out there with at least one episode🤞🏼

Morning!
With Victoria Wood and Julie Walters.

Ethel & Dot.

26-time Carry On star Kenneth Williams gives an enchanting interview on the set of Carry On Henry in 1970. A fascinating glimpse into the mind of a comedy genius.

So sorry to hear that John Frieda has died.I was one of his first customers at his salon in New Cavendish Street not long after he created the famous Purdey cut for Jo Lumley.A thoroughly nice and gentle man. My condolences to his family.

I absolutely loath the wheezing laughter you get on all AI comedy video🤬
It isn't funny!

Goodnight/Good Morning😇
