03 Sep 12 - 10:31 AM (#3399457) Subject: Folk club in 60s-set tv cop series. From: MGM·Lion Anyone see last night's episode of Inspector George Gently on BBC1. Much of it was set in a 60s folk club, in which the victim of the crime had been a leading singer ~~ we saw and heard her in flashback giving, imo, delightful renderings of "Matty Groves" & "Silver Dagger", with fiddle accompaniment, in a Geordie accent. Naturally, the themes of the songs were integrated into the solution. This series is a somewhat offbeat savon policier, as I call them, and I enjoyed this episode, for obvious reasons, particularly. The actress/singer/fiddler was called Ebony Buckle; I thought her very gifted. Anyone else see it? Have any comments? |

I thought the plot was a bit contrived but the script was good - especially the young sergeant's response to 'mi ladyship'; had us in stitches. Ebony Buckle's performance was excellent - pity she got bumped off at the start! |

The TV series have been very good but bear little comparisons to the books. I saw Sunday's episode. I thought the music was excellent. Ebony Buckle has a lovely voice and performed the songs well. Quite a bit of dramatic licence at times but very enjoyable none-the-less. I was reminded at times of some of the political threads here on Mudcat !!!!! lol I recorded the Episode as I was expecting to have been going out, but that fell through. Regards MikeL |

09 Sep 12 - 11:33 AM (#3402009) Subject: RE: Folk club in 60s-set tv cop series. From: Claire M Hiya, I obviously don't know whether the 60s portrayal was accurate or not. I'm told my life would be a lot harder then than now. I like all cop shows, but i'll pick Retro over modern any day. I'm not sure about starting the GG books, because a lot of times the book's not as good as the TV version or vice versa. I say I watched some but not all; I was watching when I was on a Respite stay (the very last one) When I'm excited I tend to stiffen up & when I heard the songs I nearly drove my wheelchair through the TV screen. Perhaps I was hoping to get to the folk club that way ??!! (would make a good idea for a series) Since I was very young, certain songs have completely annihilated me in a way real life doesn't seem to. I had tears pouring out of my eyes & my mates, who surprisingly didn't know of my luv of trad. song, were all saying "it's all right, they're [the carers] are coming". Then it happened again with 'It's All Over Now Baby Blue'. EB is brilliant. |

From: SteveMansfield We're way behind on our PVR having gone completely Paralympics-crazy, and so only got around to watching this last night. Enjoyed it a lot, Emily Buckle is a class act isn't she. I know that the minutiae of historical accuracy always goes out the window on things like this in favour of dramatic framing, and I hasten to add it didn't spoil the programme for me at all: but how realistic was it that they'd all have been singing and playing into mics and a PA down at the local Northumberland folk club in 1968? And, for that matter, how well known was that particular tune/words version of Matty Groves likely to have been in 1968, the year before Fairport immortalised it on Leige and Lief? |

14 Sep 12 - 01:47 PM (#3404638) Subject: RE: Folk club in 60s-set tv cop series. From: MGM·Lion On the topic of the books/tv:- I took the trouble to get a copy of the first of the Gently novels, Gently Does It [1955]. Rather disappointed ~~ found it a bit mechanical and formulaic; no Bacchus; set in thinly-disguised Norwich, where the author ran a bookshop at the time, but little sense of locale or atmosphere. No particular characterisation, either of Gently or of the suspects &c. Compared with the classic detective novels of e.g. Sayers, it all appeared to me a bit lifeless, as if happening in a sort of social vacuum. It was however the first of many and I expect some of the later would be more to my taste. Has any reader any particular recommendation[s]? ~M~ |

15 Sep 12 - 11:07 AM (#3405079) Subject: RE: Folk club in 60s-set tv cop series. From: MikeL2 Hi Mike Yours is a fair appraisal of Alan Hunter's George Gently Does it. Most of his works are very similar in content and I found them OK for very light reading and bedtime reading. There are a reasonably long range ranging from -: Gently in The Sun Gently Down the Stream Landed Gently etc etc. The TV series are much better than the books. I usually find this the other way round. I find them similar in the lack of literary content as the Wycliffe series. Although in this case the TV series is not a lot better than the books. Again good light reading if you like that kind of thing. Cheers MikeL2 |

15 Sep 12 - 01:02 PM (#3405133) Subject: RE: Folk club in 60s-set tv cop series. From: MGM·Lion Thanks, MikeL.

I used to go to a folk club near London's Petticoat lane in the sixties ; there was another club located just around the corner competing wih it on the same evening – and they were both usually quite full from what I remember . Is folk becoming a folk memory ? I hope not, but doubt whether they will be making a series set in a 2012 folk club fifty years from now . |

16 Sep 12 - 10:04 AM (#3405608) Subject: RE: Folk club in 60s-set tv cop series. From: MikeL2 Hi Mike Yes the TV series are much better than the books. The have a new dimension that is missing in the written word. ....and Gently isn't forever munching chocolate peppermints on the TV !!! I don't know how you feel about Midsommer Murders? I find that Carolyn Grahame who wrote the original stories gives one a really good read. Very much more deep into characterization and lots of delicious humour. She did write many books about 8 I think but as you will know the TV series manage to squeeze out getting on for 100 now. IMHO Still good TV but I prefer the books. On the same theme Reginald Hill who wrote the Dalziel (De'el) and Pascoe is also a hugely humorous writer. The TV series sticks much closer to the original stories than the other two authors. Hill for me is a great descriptive writer with great characters and a wicked eye for poking fun at people. Unfortunately Reginald died earlier this year so we will (presumably) not be having any more of D & P. Cheers MikeL2 |

We enjoy Lewis [more than we used to Morse]; and I Frost, along with Gently, is the one I like best. Quite enjoy Wycliffe also ~~ and not just because Jack Shepherd once, when I was reviewing a 70s production production of John Osborne's Inadmissable Evidence at the Arts, Cambridge, in which he was playing the lead, missed his train home to London so came and spent the night on our futon in the Cambridge flat that Valerie & I lived in back then.

Modern ones are good, but if you really want to see me happy, recommend one set in the past. I suspected the GG series was livened up a lot more, because Bacchus reminds me of Gene Hunt sometimes. I love seeing him lose his rag with a suspect –- I shouldn't think he does that in the GG books from what I've read here! The only time I thought book = TV adaptation was Red Riding – I was desperate to read the books & wasn't disappointed. I've never been disappointed by David Peace's work. I'll stick with the series too; the music's great. EB reminded me of the Melrose Quartet, both in looks & playing. That remains one of the few gigs – I think the only gig to date – where I didn't want the support band (said Quartet) to leave. |

His rather morose playing of Wycliffe is , I am sure just his portrayal of the Wycliffe character from the book. I think I read somewhere that Jack is a fine jazz pianist? Sometimes he does a little bit of "tinkling" in the series but these are usually limited to a few jazz chords and riffs. WE like Lewis too. Although if you saw the Gently episode last night "Lewis was wiped out along with Gently and Baccus. lol I have collected and recorded every single episode of Frost ( I know get a life !!) and have read all the books, though their are not many of them.

It does look like there won't be any more [i]George Gently[/i] on TV – they didn't look like they'd survive that. I loved it. I've a friend who loves his cop shows, including GG, so he'll probably get the whole series & lend me it. |

I've been searching on the Internet until I was blue in the face! Just glad I found the Audionetwork site. I'm quite willing to pay the small amount they want to download. Haven't done it yet though. Hopefully someone else can help with the singer's name! |

George Gently From: YorkshireYankee Just visited Arkie's link (to EB singing Mattie Groves) and found her singing Silver Dagger as well. It also gives this info about her: Ebony Buckle is a talented musical theatre actress. She has a bachelor degree in Music and Opera Singing from the University of Queensland in Australia and a postgraduate diploma in Musical Theatre from the Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts in London. Her musical stage performances include Les Misérables, The Marriage of Figaro and the opera A Midsummer Night's Dream. "with a voice that could make angels weep" Wouldn't have guessed she's an Ozzie from hearing her sing! |
