Captain comedy connections

I’ve always said that the way I feel about the Captain, and the reason he was my instant favourite, is this: it’s like walking into a party and seeing someone you know. The ‘blustering but ineffectual authority figure’ is a really recognisable comedy staple. Just him being there positions Ghosts in a long line of classic British sitcoms. And then they flipped that archetype by giving him a relatable inner conflict and all his funny little idiosyncrasies, all those hints at the real person buried beneath the persona ♡ Anyway, none of these characters are identical to Captain, but I think he certainly shares some of their DNA and I just felt like gathering them together

#a selection of 20th century repressed comedy dads #bbc ghosts #britcom #the captain ghosts #monty python #fawlty towers #dad's army #the fast show #bbc porridge #blackadder goes forth #molesworth #are you being served #Ben says he’s inspired by his own teachers so I included one of Molesworth’s schoolmasters #blackadder is way more cynical about the army than captain #but I don’t think he’s exactly any of the others in that show either #there’s an episode of dads army where cpt mainwaring falls in love with a married woman #and it makes him question all his values and it’s sweet and poignant & that feels very captain to me #ralph isn’t bossy at all but he and ralph are here for the exquisite pining vibes #this is embarrassingly earnest but I’m breezing through it #been in my drafts for ages but felt like posting it today

While I'm searleposting I gotta say this is one of my all time favourite molesworth gags. This image+caption is presented in the book with absolutely zero additional context and it only hits harder as a result.

Thomas Molesworth style settee or love seat, most likely by early maker, Uptown Furniture. Chimayo cushions, burl sides, leather fringed arms are all reminiscent of Molesworth's own personal pieces. Bold bright red with green leather and brass studs. The massive burls on the front are about 14" wide at the base. The Chimayo cushions have a spread wing thunderbird design in black and cream.

The John Nathan-Turner Production Diary 1979-1990 | Telos Publihing

Written by Richard Molesworth Introduction by Andrew Cartmel

In this fascinating account of one of Doctor Who‘s most turbulent periods, noted researcher Richard Molesworth presents an unprecedentedly detailed record of producer John Nathan-Turner’s day-to-day activities on the show.

Drawing on unique archive documents, the book tells the full story of how one of the most divisive figures in Doctor Who‘s history steered it through the entire decade of the 1980s, revealing the key decisions that shaped its development and affording an invaluable insight into how the production office responded to the many controversies that dogged it during that period.

An unmissable treat for all fans of classic Doctor Who!

432pp. 6×9 paperback. ISBN 978-1-84583-199-8 Published 13 May 2022

John Nathan-Turner is arguably the most controversial person to have been involved with Doctor Who, certainly the most controversial person associated with the ‘classic’ series of the show, which ran on the BBC between 1963 and 1989.

When John left the BBC at the end of August 1990, one of his last jobs was to clear out the now-defunct Doctor Who Production Office in Union House. With a whole raft of paperwork that related to John’s decade as producer of the series, the office was piled high with cabinets of pure history. This paperwork eventually passed into the hands of others for safekeeping, among them, Richard Molesworth, at the time working on the BBC’s Doctor Who DVD range.

John kept quite a few files of correspondence, and Richard had – over the years – researched further at the BBC’s Written Archive and had amassed much information from the various Doctor Who production files. All these sources had, documented between them, a good record as to what John was doing, and when, during his time in charge of the series.

What this book sets out to do is to put a timeline together of what John was doing, and when, in the ten or so years he was working as Doctor Who’s producer. It seeks to explore when he made certain decisions, some of which had huge long-term consequences for the series. But it also documents some of the minutia that his role as producer entailed. At times, it helps explain how he reacted to certain events that he had no control over, and at others it details where things he could influence went badly wrong.

Join us for a look at what being a BBC producer in the eighties was really like: the decisions, the travel, the meetings, the challenges, the arguments and the praise.

This is a fascinating and in-depth look at the day to day ‘diary’ of Doctor Who’s longest running and most controversial producer.

Lavinia Spencer—amateur artist and Princess Diana’s great, great, great grandmother

I am delighted to welcome back R.M Healey, hot on the heels of his previous piece, A Georgian ‘Trip Advisor‘. Today’s topic is however very different, so I’ll hand over to him to tell you more: I purchased this signed drawing below of Frances Molesworth by the talented amateur Lavinia Bingham a few years ago in a provincial auction house. It is interesting for a number of reasons, not least…
