'Vice Versa' ATV Elstree 1981 - 'TV Times'

'Vice Versa' ATV Elstree 1981 - 'TV Times'

'Echoes of Louisa' was indeed the final #ATVBirmingham drama for youngsters, starting April 1981 ... though there was one final hurrah in this field from #ATVElstree, albeit with strong comedy overtones - 'Vice Versa' began in September '81 and even managed a TV Times cover!

I think the kids serials he produced/oversaw, alongside some late night adult single plays from new writers, proved to be a real stimulus to Coleman at #ATVBirmingham in 72-74, following a long stint directing on 'Crossroads' over the preceding years

The *children's drama* unit at #ATVBirmingham headed up by producer Alan Coleman (1972-74 until Coleman's departure to Australia) produced a lot of good shows - several serials and the three-series comedy-drama 'The Kids for 47A'. 'Raven' and 'Echoes of Louisa' were later Birmingham ATV productions

Good to see quite a bit of colour footage surviving for the earlier serial ... only b/w film telerecordings tend to survive for the drama serials for kids based at #ATVBirmingham in the early 1970s
