More Ghosts of Christmas Past     More Ghosts of Christmas Past Saturday 4th December 2004, 12:00 - 7:15 pm Amblecote Room, Stourbridge Town Hall, Stourbridge, West Midlands, UK Free Admission   Following on from the great fun we had last year at The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Kaleidoscope ran another special seasonal event for this Christmas, incorporating the Kaleidoscope Grand Charity Auction, which we hope will become an annual fixture of our festive gathering.   The event ran between 12:00 - 7:15pm on Saturday 4th December 2004 at our usual venue, Stourbridge Town Hall, Stourbridge, West Midlands, UK. Although free to enter as usual, we were once again raising money for our designated charity, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution on the day, and all proceeds from the Kaleidoscope Grand Charity Auction also went to this very worthy cause.   In much the same format as this year's other events, highlights included a black and white Carry on Christmas themed around Treasure Island, festive mini-episodes of The Dustbinmen, On The Buses and The Fenn Street Gang, Gawain and the Green Knight, a supernatural drama from the pen of David Rudkin, The Curious Case of Santa Claus, a mystery adventure starring Jon Pertwee, and the conclusion of the Armchair Thriller story that we have been showing throughout the year. All this plus a myriad of old TV idents, the sole surviving footage of New Year's Eve 1981 at Crossroads, and even more surprises.   Full Programme Schedule: 12:00   The Ghosts of Motley Hall - "Phantomime" 13:00   Carry On Long John Silver from 1971 14:00   Kaleidoscope Grand Charity Auction - see below for a comprehensive list of lots 15:30   Christmas TV Idents Through The Years 16:00   Gawain and the Green Knight by David Rudkin 17:00   The Curious Case of Santa Claus featuring Jon Pertwee 18:00   On The Buses - Christmas mini-episode from 1972 18:10   Scottish TV Christmas Idents 18:20   The Dustbinmen - Christmas mini-episode from 1969 18:30   The Fenn Street Gang - Christmas mini-episode from 1972 18:40   Crossroads - extract from New Year's Eve 1981 episode 18:50   Armchair Thriller - "Fear of God", episode 4 19:15   Closedown (approx) As part of the event we held the Kaleidoscope Grand Charity Auction, with all proceeds in aid of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, and had some exciting items on offer, kindly donated by Network and various private collectors.   Kaleidoscope Grand Charity Auction: (Bids were accepted in person only)   Clicking the links will take you to a photograph of each item: The Goodies At Last DVD signed by all three of the Goodies Public Eye - The Complete 1969 Series, enlarged poster of DVD cover signed by Alfred Burke Out Of The Unknown enlarged poster of the book cover signed by Irene Shubik and Mark Ward The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe video cover signed by Robert Hoffman, and a still The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe video cover signed by Robert Hoffman, and a still (different from above) Images from Charley Says, featuring Dad's Army, Tufty and the Green Cross Code Man Selection of DVD comedy titles - The Goodies At Last, Sykes, Till Death Us Do Part 1972 and 1974 and The High Life Selection of DVD detective titles - Hazell series 1, Special Branch series 3 and 4 Saturday Morning Pictures - The Best of the Children's Film Foundation DVD volume two Ever Decreasing Circles DVDs series 1 and 2 Ever Decreasing Circles DVDs series 3 and 4 Ever Decreasing Circles series 1 and 2 original DVD coverwork Ever Decreasing Circles series 3 and 4 original DVD coverwork The Adventures of Robin Hood DVD series 1 The Adventures of Robin Hood DVD series 2 The Adventures of Robin Hood series 1 original DVD coverwork Strange Report DVD box set Strange Report original DVD box design The Sweeney DVD series 3 The Sweeney outer box of set for series 4 only The Sweeney series 1 DVD artwork, framed Robin of Sherwood DVD complete series Robin of Sherwood original DVD coverwork Catweazle photographs and video coverwork, signed by Geoffrey Bayldon Ripping Yarns original DVD artwork for cover and menus Book - The Studio Glass of Jonathan Harris, signed by Jonathan Harris Book - The Rutland Dirty Weekend Book by Eric Idle (Warning: image contains nudity) Book - Television by Design - behind the scenes in the early days of BBC television, by Head of Television Design Richard Levin Book - James Whale's Frankenstein - the classic horror film reproduced in book form Book - That Was The Week That Was - miscellany from the classic satirical series, edited by David Frost and Ned Sherrin Magazine - Television Weekly from June 1965, with The Man in Room 17 on the cover Contrast - Summer 1963 edition of the British Film Institute magazine, including a feature on David Mercer.
