I was surprised to find this video clip on You tube of the Glums. I know The Glums was a TV show in the 70s but I don't know what this clip is all about. Young Ronnie Barker's there though.

Also a young June Whitfield. I knew June had played Eth on the radio, but I had never heard that 'The Glums' had made a TV outing before the seventies. Apparently from a series called Faces of Jim in which Jimmy played a different character each week, much as Ronnie was later to do in Seven of one. According to Wikipedia all episodes were written by Muir & Norden, creators of 'The Glums' and co-starred June & Ronnie.
This clip seems to be all that survives of this particular episode.

I met Patricia Brake briefly once when she was giving a prize at a hospital quiz night.
I was saying that I remembered her from the Glums with Ian Lavender.
And she said that no-one ever seemed to mention that, and most people remember her as Fletch's daughter in Porridge.
For a moment I thought Phwooarhh.
And then changed the subject to Eldorado.
Ha! I really enjoyed that clip, they should repeat it.
Anyone remember seeing that 70s TV The Glums. I heard it was a bit of a flop.

I recently got a range of episodes of the series, recorded from Australian repeats. Judging by the hatchet-job editing, it seems that 1990s Australian TV was more conservative than 1950s BBC Radio.
