The television series, it was by Hammer Film Productions, Journey to the Unknown I hope you can help me, I am trying to find out the name of a television series, from the 1960s, I think. It was black and white, if I remember right, and it always started with spooky music and in a fair ground, which showed a roller coaster, I think, with no one on it. I hope you can help.

Thanks,LesThat’s not much to go on, is it? I couldn’t think of any shows off the top of my head that started with a roller coaster. Knowing that it was from the 1960s and aired in black and white wasn’t all that much help.

I replied asking if Les could remember anything else. All I can remember about the series was the deserted fair ground/roller coaster and there was a turnstile. It was in black and white maybe in the late 1960s with creepy music.

Not a lot to go on, I know; I am sure it was American series shown here. -LesSo now Les thinks it might have been the late 1960s. And it was a program from the United States.

I still didn’t have enough to do any research. Luckily, in this case, Les was able to find the name of the show himself. I have just found out the television series, it was by Hammer Film Productions and called Journey to the Unknown (1968/1969).

I had to go to Action TV to find it and it rung a bell as soon as I saw the titles. Then I went to the Classic TV Archive to confirm it was the right one. I hope this is of some good to you.

Cheers,LesJourney to the Unknown was produced in Britain and first aired in the United States on ABC during the 1968-1969 season and later premiered in Britain in April of 1969. So the late 1960s was correct. It was filmed in color but those with black and white sets would obviously have seen it in black and white.

Les isn’t the only person to contact me asking about Journey into the Unknown. I wasn’t able to answer his question but I did answer another in a Q & A back in July of 2009. Sources: http://www.tvobscurities.com/2010/01/q-and-a-can-you-identify-these-shows-part-1/ .

It was similar to "one step The Chicago Tribune recenting published an article on this very subject, so I'll try to recall as much as I can.1. Heat. The cargo hold of an airplane is NOT air-conditioned.

It can get extremely hot inside the plane, especially if the plan is forced to stand for a long period on the runway. If your flight runs into any unexpected delays on the ground, you should immediately notify the flight crew to see if you can get your crate removed. Don't assume that they'll be watching out for your dog.

Make a huge scene if you have to; your dog's life is worth it.2. Water. Make sure your crate has a container for water, and the night before the flight, fill it and FREEZE it into a block of ice.

The crate is going to get knocked around a little during loading, and the water could easily spill out. If its frozen the night before, it should thaw just as your dog needs it.3.Food. Tie a small bag of food to the crate with feeding instructions in case of any unexpected delays.

If your going on a longer flight, make arrangements with the airline to be sure that your dog is fed. Obviously you should follow the airline's rules about the crate (which must be securing closed but capable of being easily opened in case of emergancy) and labelling the crate (e.g."LIVE ANIMAL" etc. ). The article did not make any specific recommendation about sedating animals, and I don't have any experience here.

Remember, to an airline your dog is a piece of luggage. If he or she dies--which happens more than the airlines like to admit--you will be compensated as though the airline lost one of your bags. Its up to you to safeguard your dog's welfare.

I don't mean to scare anyone...statistics indictate that thousands of animals fly safely each year. Just take as many precautions as possible. Best of luck, and safe flying!

- Matt------------------------------Date: 30 Jul 95 08:16:11 EDT From: Peter Lennon To: Berner Subject: Flying..HORROR Stories..as you know Australia is just about as far away as you get from many other countries and the country itself is about as big as the States (so flying dogs is sometimes the ONLY WAY)...I have had a couple of experiences of flying with my dogs...both weren't great. The first was an interstate flight with Harry when he was about 9 months old...it involved him being in the crate for about 2 1/2 hours which really wasn't long at all. We were going up to Queensland to visit his breeder and enter a dog show where all his brothers and sisters were going to be..it was combined with a Fun Day with many other Bernese aswell...and incedently turned out to be a terrific day.

Back to the point...we in Australia don't regularly crate our dogs as they do in the US. I actually use a crate at shows mainly because I go by myself (husband nearly always has an excuse...hmmmn I guess I don't blame him) and I can't manage two or now three dogs at once and the crate is snug and safe for one of them. Anyhow so the airline had regulations about the crate and I had to hire one at the time...we turned up at the airport and the crate was ALL MESH WITH A METAL TRAY AT THE BOTTOM...I wasn't impressed...i t didn't look secure and the dog was left almost naked with no cover around him a t all.

Anyway there was no choice but to put him in...which he did very gallantly. After I left him I went upstairs to the flight lounge and starred ou t the window at the plane looking to see Harry get loaded...eventually out he cam e on one of those"Thunderbird vehicles" and was sent up the conveyer belt to the loading hatch. Poor Harry ...he looked obviously distressed as he had shrunk into one corner of the crate looking freakily all around him...when he reached the hatch the crate didn't fit into the door...so the men just flopped it on it s side (sending Harry scuttling to the side of the crate...the metal tray collapsed somewhat on top of him and although I couldn't see the distance I imagined his paws were being beaten around by the bare wire.

I was absolutely horrified and as you can imagine stunned for most of the flight. When we reached the destination it seemed ages (probably only 15 minutes) before he was off loaded and brought to the bulky goods section.......POOR HARRY he had the sparkling look of fear in his eye as he came out on the trolley still in the crate....AND THERE WAS SHIT ALL OVER HIM! POOR DARLING HAD DROPPED HIS LOA D IN FRIGHT DURING THE ORDEAL.At that moment I wished I had have taken the 14 hour drive alternative...but two days later he had to fly back again...I specifically ordered a more enclosed and sound crate and the trip was much nicer...no pooos at the other end.

(By the way Harry beat all his brothers and sisters at the show and all but one of his breeders older males...not bad for LAST PICK OF THE LITTER heh? ) Sources: http://www.berner.org/pages/in_your_home/flying.php .

Rollercoaster (TV show) This article is missing citations or needs footnotes. Please help add inline citations to guard against copyright violations and factual inaccuracies. (April 2009)RollerCoaster is a children's television show on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in Australia.

Hosted by Elliot Spencer, it is aimed at an older audience than ABC For Kids. RollerCoaster is a "wrapper" show, usually incorporating three to five externally produced animated (formerly a mix of animated and live action shows) of varying lengths, which alternate with locally-produced studio or location segments hosted by Spencer. It is aimed at older children and young teenaged audiences.

The host, Elliot Spencer is usually the sole presenter, dressing up as characters for short sketches sometimes; on occasion members of Rollercoaster crew also appear in gags and sketches. The show currently also includes regular features jointly presented by Spencer and Ruben Meerman, "The Surfing Scientist". Rollercoaster follows a well-established format for Australian children's television.

Mainly in order to comply with government-mandated Australian content regulations, local broadcasters have traditionally engaged a local presenter or team of presenters to "wrap" (or "top and tail") pre-produced segments such as cartoons. These shows offer a relatively inexpensive means of filling children's viewing times on Australian TV—the wrapper segments are generally made with a small crew and feature minimal production values; in the early days of Australian television the wrapper segments were performed live, although today they are now usually pre-recorded. The outsourced content is often purchased at relatively low cost, and for many decades Australian networks have been offered package-deal rates by American production houses and networks, as an incentive to purchase bundled content.

The 'outsourced' segments of the show are most commonly short animated series. Many of these programs are produced outside Australia with most sourced from other English-speaking countries, chiefly the United States, Britain, Canada and New Zealand. RollerCoaster alternates these short programs (e.g. Shaun the Sheep, The Mr. Men Show) with longer animated or live-action children's programs in a variety of genres, such as Roman Mysteries, Wolverine and the X-Men, Naturally Sadie, Young Dracula, and more recently, the children's reality competition Escape from Scorpion Island.

Such programs are usually produced for American or Canadian commercial or cable TV and are structured to allow the insertion of advertising breaks, so they have a slightly shorter running time on Rollercoaster, since the ABC carries no external advertising. The locally-produced portions of RollerCoaster featuring Spencer include a number of recurring segments -- "Fetch", ""Feed Me", "Now Poll", "MEE News", and "The Surfing Scientist" and "Professor Slo and Doctor Mo" (Slo=Elliot, Mo=Ruben). Many of these segments include elements of audience participation or contributions via email or the RollerCoaster website's moderated chat rooms and message boards.

Boudu Saved From Drowning Description: The LikeTelevision™ movie channel proudly presents an enchanting 1932 Jean Renoir film called Boudu sauve des eaux, or in English - Boudu Saved from Drowning. A poor homeless man named Boudu tries to drown himself in the Seine River, but is saved by the wealthy book store owner, Edouard Lestingois who was watching Boudu from his window.

Boudu moves in with the family and has quite an impact on each of their lives. Priape Boudu is played by Michel Simon, who was a major star in France. Basically - he was like the French Charlie Chaplin or Jerry Lewis.

Kind of like a national treasure. Also of note, this film caused a major scandal when it was released. Not because of the kissing or extramarital affairs (hey, they're French)... but people took major exception to, of all things - the filthy side of being homeless.

Boudu's table manners, especially eating the food with his fingers. Totally taboo! The Police came and shut down theaters.

It was a very serious matter at the time.In addition, Boudu doesn't seem particularly grateful to Monsieur Lestingois' generosity. Folks were infuriated by this as well. Sources: http://tesla.liketelevision.com/liketelevision/search/search.php?q=hair&theme=guide .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
