In hindsight, positive #ITVretro didn’t foresee staggering the 50th uploads
“Stately Home Robberies” is a great Lady P episode and perfect to watch after this.
If haven’t see you must on upload
David Elliott comes back to direct this young crew recreating and Mary Turner is puppeteering .. ❤️
Page 2 provides us with a great opportunity to compare and contrast Frank’s fresh reimagining with Eric Eden’s earliest work.

I’m glad #ITVretro uploaded “Brink” today.

Tomorrow’s #Thunderbirds #ITVretro upload
I do have a soft spot for the kid Joe 90 but not going to ruin my chronology by plugging #itvretro
Especially when they’ve made a mess of #Stingray
It can wait and we’ll take a look, in time 🤷♀️
For those interested
#ITVretro is now running “The Pretenders”..
Still no idea what’s happened to “Stingray” 😔
#cultsky
youtu.be/Ca8LhyS9kEg?...
But no..
Fanboys say: “There’s stock footage of the Empire State Building”
So this must be before “Terror in NY”
🤦♀️
Next Monday on #ITVretro
Originally posted on the wrong account.. 🤦♀️
Continuity issues abound for today’s #ITVretro upload 🧵
An early days entrant, finally completed in the hour format, airing late in the first season run.
9th to enter production, 20th to broadcast.
The “one on the bridge”..
