Piano Music
What is the piece of piano music called that Ashley was constantly practising for her concert?
Garry Halliday (1959)
All-time Favourite
This was my all-time favourite children's TV programme, essential viewing after Grandstand on a Saturday afternoon. The episodes opened with a shot of whirling propeller blades and a voice-over giving a brief introduction to The Halliday Charter Company and a synopsis of the current story to date. The chief characters were the urbane Garry Halliday, played by Terence Longdon, and his "silly ass" co-pilot, Bill Dodds, (Terence Alexander). They were in constant pursuit of their sinister arch-enemy, "The Voice" (Elwyn Brook-Jones), a master criminal who protected his identity by never letting his face be seen. I wrote to Terence Alexander some years ago to express my appreciation and he wrote back to tell me that he is amazed by how many people still mention "Garry Halliday" to him. Apparently there is only one episode of the programme still in existence, the BBC had the practice of "wiping" old tapes.
