Maybe they meant season 3 which was basically a comedy series. The producers got the message and reverted to straight spy stories with season 4. Although still with some tongue in cheek.

Are you on X formerly known as twitter? I think I messaged you there once but can't remember which name you used. Its easier to post pictures there.

Interesting fact, in one of the first season black and white episodes the guest stars were William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy.

I watched UNCLE first time around in the 1960s, on the portable TV in the kitchen as parents watched a movie on itv. It came on after Top of the Pops and before The Frost Report, all of which I watched. I still carry a home made UNCLE ID card, one in every jacket pocket plus spares in my bus pass ...

Grand Comics Database has all 14 covers. I never knew this existed. Can't believe I've never come across it before.

Afraid not although I have kept him in mind, found a couple more of his cartoons, in Titbits I think.

I came across my copies of Once Upon a Time a few weeks ago and noticed some superb Ron Embleton art.

I'll be indexing ...

You refer to a Dinky comic, do you mean an advert in the comic for the Dinky model? It's not clear from your message.

Doctor Who documentary "Doctor Who: The Doctors" is on Rewind TV at 8pm this evening.

I used to have quite a few issues of Princess and Princess Tina, they had a varied content including some nice classic serials, I remember Lorna Doone drawn/painted by Ron Embleton. Nice photogravure pages and deep colours.

Looks like a fanzine strip. BEM?

No the TV Terrors was nothing like Titcombe's work. Also TV Terrors was never signed and Bill usually signed his work.

Thanks. I have a collection of TV comic and always wondered who drew Basil Brush as well as the TV Terrors. I'll let the person know what you discovered.

Could be Bill Titcombe who used that fine line style, perhaps drawing in a nursery comic style. He was a Polystyle Publications regular.
