4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Overview Of Some of ITCs Best Known Series, 15 Dec 2006
By S. Morris (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
THE PERSUADERS!, THUNDERBIRDS, THE PRISONER, THE CHAMPIONS, SPACE:1999...the position of Lord Lew Grades ITC company in the cult tv market is examined in this book. If you want to wallow in nostalgia about some of your favourite tv shows of the 60s and 70s, then this is for you.

My only gripe would be the brief coverage given to some series, and obviously there are favourites which perhaps could have been included. But overall a splendid summary of ITC output, illustrated with b+w pics and including comments from ITC actors, actresses and production staff, many of which have been obtained in new and recent interviews.

Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Cult Classic, 3 Feb 2009
By Mr. W. Lynas "Bill Lynas" (Exeter,UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A superb book on the history of ITC and the company's huge output of cult TV. Robert Sellers keeps his information concise, witty & extremely interesting throughout. He interviews endless ITC stars including Roger Moore, Tony Curtis and Ian Olilvy to get first hand knowledge of the programmes. Sellers is also the author of "Hellraisers: The Life & Inebriated Times of Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Peter O'Toole & Oliver Reed" and "The Battle For Bond" which are another two superbly researched books well worth checking out.
