Undermind TV Series

[dpgmel]

This looks mighty interesting, this 1965 ABC TV crime/science fiction series is to be relesed by Network this summer.

Most sources say only 3 of the 11 episodes survive but as the listing says the complete series hopefully like Sergeant Cork Network have found those thought lost.

Undermind - The Complete Series [DVD]: Amazon.co.uk: Rosemary Nicols, Jeremy Wilkin, Jeremy Kemp, Dennis Quilley, John Barron, Bill Bain, Patrick Dromgoole, Raymond Menmuir, Peter Potter, Laurence Bourne: Film & TV

I don't recall this series at all but after reading the premise & the review on imdb it sounds very good!!

An 18 certificate would be very unusual for a TV show of this vintage!

Is there any actual word on the Network site?

Not as yet, the 18 certiifcate is simply Amazon's default when the actual certification hasn't been offically confirmed.

Only three episodes are doing the rounds which I have, I found it quite interesting and welcome the chance to see the whole series but no doubt it will be (yet) another pricey 'exclusive'

Actually this one is listed on Amazon so looks like it will be available from all good retailers, so hopefully competition will force the price down.

This has a young pre-Department S Rosemary Nicols. Never saw it as a lad, will have to check it out.

Yes indeed just had an email from Network revealing the deal they have made with Canal+ for other ABC goodies including the unreleased Public Eye episodes. Looks like all these might not be 'exclusive' titles I hope they might be dropping that unwelcome development

Just a reminder that this intriguing sounding series is released on Monday

I thought you said only a few of these remained in the archive! Have these been found or was this an error due to poor info on archive status?

That certainly seems to have been the consensus however Networtk are very good at tracking dowm lost episodes e.g. Sergeant Cork.

That would imply they exist to be found, however with this in Mind it makes you wonder how they do it still!

I watched the first episode of Undermind last night and really liked it. The casting of the two leads intrigued me enough to buy the DVD in Network's Christmas Sale. While I've always remembered Rosemary Nicols as one of the main stars of Department S, Jeremy Wilkin was until now best known to me for his recurring role in Gerry Anderson's UFO. He never had much to do, as I recall, in complete contrast to this forgotten series. In the interim, Jeremy provided the voices for several characters in Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and Joe 90 - all created by the sadly late Mr. Anderson.

TV World coverage, 8-14 May 1965

The on-screen episode title is actually Instance One.
Among the cast, cult favourite Georgine Anderson



Tony Steedman's future wife, Judy Parfitt, was a guest two weeks later in The New Dimensions.
The first two episodes followed another series recently released on DVD - The Human Jungle*.

Jeremy Kemp was on ITV twice that weekend. The Last Reunion, an Armchair Mystery Theatre production, was again directed by Bill Bain.

There was speculation that it was due to run the standard 13 episodes, but was trod on from
somewhere high.
So you can make your own mind up on the last episode.
