As a child I remember using the old scripts from Ricochet with dad’s annotations as scrap paper for drawing on. I have the BBC single of the theme tune with the theme to Dial M for Murder as the B side. You mention that a private collector has recordings of two episodes. I’d love to get a chance to hear them if that were possible.Duncan Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03098313114592306328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744024699281834535.post-64078641695738069242019-12-01T18:17:48.546+01:002019-12-01T18:17:48.546+01:00Thank you Fiona.

I am aware that he does some recordings of the programme, or should I say they may still exist. His ex-wife is now selling the family home and she has broken all contact with Alastairs children, so the availability of Alastair Scott Johnston’s personal archive of tapes etc is unknown. Hopefully I will soon know what and where it all is. I ask you to be patient and I will scoop on the old house and try to get my fathers property before she builds a bonfire and burns it all. I jest not because this is what she does when someone dies...burns all of their property! Much of it I know of, but his books, tapes and files I fear are at risk. Hopefully we will soon know more.<br /><br />All I can tell you, which is not much help, is that my father went to Pebble Mill in 1974 to record the programmes and the first one was broadcast in late spring, (May or June) of 1974. You are correct I sent the clippings to Fred Vintner. It may help if you know that at the same time he was also producing a panel show called ’Quote-un-Quote’.<br /><br />I wish you and others luck in their search, however I know that my father would record a cassette tape of all of his programmes. (He even signed the authority!!!)Fiona Scott Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711850534992986768noreply@blogger.com
