In the event of an alien invasion, who would represent Earth in confronting the aliens?

If you said Trevor Bannister, smarmy salesman Mr Lucas from Are You Being Served? you'll love Object Z, a long lost ITV rival to Dr Who out now on blu-ray from the BFI. 3/5

While this episode is missing, it was novelised as part of the book The Mogul Men.

When the show returned the following April, it would be minus Barry Foster and Ronald Hines, and with a new title...

The cover for the book 'The Mogul Men's, which novelised several episodes of The Troubleshooters.

60 years ago today - the final episode of series one of Mogul, 'Borrowed Time', was broadcast. Introducing Philippa Gail as Jane Webb, who would play the role on and off until the end of the show, this episode also features Douglas Wilmer as the scheming Martin Lister.

I'd missed the news that Robin Chadwick died on 7 Sept. How sad. I've been enjoying watching him in The Brothers.

Oh that's sad, I've been watching The Brothers too and enjoyed him in that. He was great in the Troubleshooters episode Tapu as well.
