KenB1 23 Posted December 31, 2010 How many of you remmeber King Cinder on BBC back in the 70's? I have the chance of obtaining all six programmes (there was only six), I have the book and a copy of the script etc, so this will make a great addition. Just wondered how many of you out there remembered the programme which was filmed at Rye House. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken, I thought the programme had been wiped, so if you get hold of a copy, it may well be worth contacting the BBC, so they can add it to their archives.

DK Rides Again 4 Posted January 1, 2011 How many of you remmeber King Cinder on BBC back in the 70's? I have the chance of obtaining all six programmes (there was only six), I have the book and a copy of the script etc, so this will make a great addition. Just wondered how many of you out there remembered the programme which was filmed at Rye House. I remember it well Ken, but for many years, outside of speedway, it was almost totally forgotten, to the point where I was starting to convince myself I must've dreamt it! With the invention of the internet and specialist nostalgia websites, it's started to become known again, but it seems to be most famous for it's appalling continuity in the final scenes. They used a clip of it on the Blue Peter episode that first featured Peter Duncan, by way of introducing him as the new 'daredevil'. AFAIK, it was never repeated and has never been 'officially' released, so Rob's right, if you get all 6 episodes, Auntie might be interested. I'd love to see it again.
