Jaz Wiseman joins "From the Archives" to discuss the horrendous situation of producing The Avengers DVD.
What a nightmare Studio Canal in France sound!!!
I take my hat off to Jaz for managing to push against the wilful ineptitude of the Studio Canal - it beggars belief what we could have ended up with had he not pushed for better results!!

Interesting that Jaz says an actor died during the recording of the series 3 episode Second Sight.
Does anyone know who this was? I haven't got Mike's book to hand and there's nothing about it on Piers's site (yet)...
I know about the earlier death during an ABC play which was broadcast live, on which Verity Lambert was working, but that wasn't The Avengers and certainly before 1963!

Carry On films weren't made for television, so they'd use the cinema (theater) frame rate of 24fps anyway, not 25fps as for British PAL television; so why on Earth are they pitch-shifting movie masters?!?! Internet should be able to cope with different frame rates, I watch stuff at 60fps sometimes.mariocki wrote:Unsurprisingly, SC haven’t learned their lesson as the HD remasters of some Carry On films that have recently appeared on BritBox have the audio speed up problems that blighted The Avengers releases as they pitch-corrected them the wrong way again.

I agree with darren, I think Jaz confused the productions. Certainly, all of the principal cast worked on other things afterwards so if anyone did die it would have been an extra. There's nothing in the production memos for the period in question.
Mrs Peel, you're needed!
