The Newcomers was BBC's first attempt, back in the mid-60s, at a soap to rival Coronation Street. Long before Eastenders was ever conceived. It was on two days a week {Tues/Thurs?) and alternated with United (Mon/Weds?). Campbell Singer, who occasionally pops up in some film on TPTV, was in it too. As Mr Burroughs as I recall.

Yes I remember both of those but can't remember any of the actors.

This week's was a hoot "36-Hour Pass", with Simon Callow playing a swaggering Teddy Boy called Wally. Such a surprise! ?
