== TV listing: A look-up from any U.S. or UK newspaper archive ==

{{tl|Resolved}}

{{hat|Information about 1967 production of ''[[A Month in the Country (play)|A Month in the Country]]'' starring Susannah York and Ian McShane}}

I have it on good authority that Turgenev's ''[[A Month in the Country (play)|A Month in the Country]]'' aired on TV in the UK in 1967, starring Susannah York, Ian McShane, and Michael Wells. If someone has a subscription to the archives of any UK newspaper (that has TV listings) for that time period, could you search and find the exact air date (and channel) for me? (For some reason both IMDB and BFI have the first air date as 1978.)

I think the best way to find it in a digital newspaper archive is to simply search under ''"month in the country"'' from 1965–1970. If that doesn't yield anything, search under ''turgenev'', or ''"Susannah York"'', or another of the three leads.

*'''Note''': The BBC aired this as a teleplay in 1966 in the series "Theatre 625", but that was a different production/cast.

If you could send me a copy of your finding, that would be helpful as well, as I may try to update IMDB with the correct info, and they will require proof. My email address is ''[e-mail]''

Article being improved: ''[[A Month in the Country (play)|A Month in the Country]]''.

*'''UPDATE''': [[Linda Thorson]], who was also in the cast, filmed it before she was in ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers]]'', which she joined in early 1968. In a newspaper interview published February 1968 [https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/45903531/] she says she filmed ''A Month in the Country'' "this summer" (that would be summer of 1967) "for U.S. television", so maybe it aired in the U.S. rather than the UK the first time around. So it looks like I need someone to check '''U.S.''' TV listings for 1967.

--[[User:Softlavender|Softlavender]] ([[User talk:Softlavender|talk]]) 05:40, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

:[[User:Softlavender|Softlavender]], I checked a couple of databases, primarily U.S. but with some British coverage, and "month in the country" during 1965 - 1970 did not produce anything relevant other than the article quoting Linda Thorson that you already found. [[User:John M Baker|John M Baker]] ([[User talk:John M Baker|talk]]) 14:23, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

::Other than the interview {{U|Softlavender}} found in ''The Ottawa Journal'', the oldest result returned by searches of newspaperarchive.com, NewsBank, and ProQuest is the review: {{cite newspaper |last=Conlogue |first=Ray |date=8 July 1978 |title=Tragedy-farce jars slightly on television |newspaper=The Globe and Mail |___location=Toronto |page=33}} It fits in with IMDb's Canada release date of 8 July 1978.

::To further muddy the waters, database Film Index International's details for the film (which come from BFI) gives a year and publication date of 1985, and a "first transmission date" of June 26, 1987. It lists as "Supplemental data" an article in ''Variety'', 17 July 1985, p. 44, {{issn|0042-2738}}, which might be worth tracking down. I don't have ready access to the full text of that. --[[User:Worldbruce|Worldbruce]] ([[User talk:Worldbruce|talk]]) 17:42, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

:::The [[Birmingham Daily Post]] for Monday 27 February 1967, p16, has the play listed as being on [[BBC2]] that night at 9:05 pm as part of Theatre 625 but it doesn't give any details about the cast. [[User:Nthep|Nthep]] ([[User talk:Nthep|talk]]) 18:19, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

I can find a reference to four performances of the play starring Susannah York and Michael Wells being staged in the grounds of their home in June 1967 (The Stage 8 June 1967 p13) and this does also have Linda Thorson in it - billed as Linda Berethorson - but no reference to it being filmed.

:::::{{U|Nthep}}, yes, please see the '''Note''' in my OP; that was a different production and different cast, not the one I'm looking for. [[User:Softlavender|Softlavender]] ([[User talk:Softlavender|talk]]) 02:44, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

*Note to everyone: Thanks for your efforts. I'm specifically looking for '''daily TV listings''' (in either newspapers or publications like ''TV Guide'' or ''Radio Times''), rather than encyclopedias of film database registries. That said, I'm beginning to come to the conclusion that, although the item was clearly filmed in 1967 (we have immediate firsthand evidence from a cast member, in two interviews, that supports that), it was not aired until 1977, in Singapore (as IMDB release dates state: [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0451128/releaseinfo]; also a lot of the Google results for the item are from Singapore). I think the reason was probably as follows: Although produced in the UK (I think), it was filmed in [[NTSC]] format, '''for U.S. television''', to be broadcast there. For whatever reason though the airing was scrapped -- most likely because for the 1960s it was a dull, obscure, static period piece (even Turgenev never intended for it to be staged, according to what I have read), not something that would interest U.S. audiences of the late 1960s. Also, while Susannah York was a known quantity in the UK (at least on a minor level), in the U.S she wasn't really, and the rest of the cast (even McShane) were unknowns. Anyway, the item aired in Canada in 1978, over a decade after filming. And it somehow took until 1983 for it to air in the U.S., and then a PAL version of it aired in the UK in 1985: [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0451128/releaseinfo]. I've surmised my theory from snippet views of a couple of books on GoogleBooks, but I can't see the full pages that talk about it. '''Bottom Line''': If someone can find and search daily TV listings (of the late 1960s), particularly for the U.S., that would be great. If not, I'll accept the theory I just related. [[User:Softlavender|Softlavender]] ([[User talk:Softlavender|talk]]) 02:44, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

::[[User:Softlavender|Softlavender]], the searches did include daily TV listings from that period, so I think we can safely conclude that "A Month in the Country" was not aired in the U.S. in the 1965 - 1970 period under that title. Your theory sounds plausible, although it's probably [[WP:SYN]]. [[User:John M Baker|John M Baker]] ([[User talk:John M Baker|talk]]) 15:54, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

:::Thanks very much for the clarification, [[User:John M Baker|John M Baker]]. {{noping|Nthep}} has left some fascinating further on my talkpage [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Softlavender&oldid=805034380#A_Month_in_the_Country], which more or less substantiates everything I've read and surmised about it. Thanks again all. <s>Let's leave this open a day or two more (just so people can view the endgame), and then mark it resolved.</s> [[User:Softlavender|Softlavender]] ([[User talk:Softlavender|talk]]) 23:14, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

;<s>UPDATE: Need U.S. daily TV listings for July 8, 1978</s>

{{U|Nthep}} supplied me with a TV listing page from the ''[[Lansing State Journal]]'' which showed that ''A Month in the Country'' starring Susannah York aired on [[WWTV]], the local CBS affiliate, on July 8. 1978 -- the same date it aired in Canada. If someone could find at least one other U.S. state that aired the broadcast, I might be able to at least update the IMDB listing of its U.S. premiere. (Otherwise, the broadcast may simply have been some sort of sharing Michigan's neighbor Canada.) Thanks, [[User:Softlavender|Softlavender]] ([[User talk:Softlavender|talk]]) 01:49, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

:How positive are you of your station identification? In 1978, WWTV was a CBS affiliate, broadcasting from Cadillac, MI on channel 9, but there was another channel 9 closer to Lansing: [[CBET]], a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) station broadcasting from Windsor, Ontario (a.k.a. "South Detroit"). The ''Detroit Free Press'', ''Sandusky Register'', and ''Norwalk Reflector'' all list the program at 9:30 on channel 9, and the two Ohio papers are explicit that it is the Canadian channel. A note in article [[WWTV]] says its current signal can be picked up as far south as Lansing ''only when CBET is off the air''. That tidbit is unsourced, but it sounds right and likely was true in 1978 too. TV listings in the ''Lansing State Journal'' are much more likely to be for CBET than WWTV. --[[User:Worldbruce|Worldbruce]] ([[User talk:Worldbruce|talk]]) 04:57, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

::Wow, good catch, [[User:Worldbruce|Worldbruce]]! I fucked up; evidently there are ''two'' Channel 9s in the TV listing page Nthep sent me; one 9 is inside the little TV-screen icon that many TV Guide listings have, and one 9 is in parentheses. I had looked at the former, but the airing of ''A Month in the Country'' at 9:30 PM was on the latter (down further in the station identification list), [[CBET]], just as you mentioned. Wow, you should get the fact-checking award of the week. (And I thought I was a diligent fact-checker!) Also, I had no idea about the incestuous relationship between Canadian and American broadcasters in that area. So, {{U|Nthep}} was absolutely correct when he wrote on my talkpage that "{{xt|The earliest screening I can find is July 1978 on CBC Channel 9 in July 1978 where it was seen in both Canada and the northern US.}}" Thanks very much!

:{{u|Vmavanti}}, have you tried asking {{u|Gyrofrog}}, who added that content? --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 06:35, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

:: {{u|Usernameunique}} and {{u|Vmavanti}}, my recollection is that my previous involvement was to split the content from [[Fred Jackson Jr.]] (which would've meant that the references came from an earlier version of that article). Judging from the edit history, this is not the case, but for the life of me I do not remember creating the content, nor having access to the cited sources. (I believe I had access via Highbeam (or similar) at that time, but I'd like to think that I would've tagged the references as such.) FYI: As I recall (not that that's worth much), Allmusic (at least to some extent) treated both individuals as the same person, and I strongly suspect the discographical details in [[Fred Jackson (saxophonist)]] (specifically, those from the 1970s onward) are about Fred Jackson Jr. For example, compare [https://www.allmusic.com/artist/fred-jackson-mn0000185951/credits Fred Jackson's credits at Allmusic] with [https://www.allmusic.com/artist/fred-jackson-jr-mn0001778058/credits Fred Jackson Jr.'s], scroll down to 1973 and notice where they overlap (I suppose it's possible, but I think highly unlikely, that both individuals appeared on the same recordings). I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.-- [[User:Gyrofrog|Gyrofrog ]] [[User_talk:Gyrofrog|(talk)]] 14:53, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

:: '''Addendum:''' Well, I didn't access the articles via HighBeam nor Questia. I used to have access, but (having checked some old emails) it started about a year after the edits in question. My best guess is that these sources were formerly available on Google Books, or somewhere else on the web, and that I simply forgot to include the titles -- sorry about that. While my memory is fuzzy surrounding my earlier efforts, I can say with certainty that I never had direct access to the physical, print copies of these resources. -- [[User:Gyrofrog|Gyrofrog ]] [[User_talk:Gyrofrog|(talk)]] 17:02, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

I happen to be likely to travel close to one of those areas in the somewhat near future, so I'll see what I can do. This one will likely take a while, though.

::::::{{re|Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi}} Its definitely a reliable source. The reason it's so rare is that it was produced only to accompany one specific exhibition as a sort of extended program in a sense, from what I can tell. When the exhibition was finished, most copies were probably lost or destroyed. It doesn't appear it was ever publicly made available, so libraries didn't have a chance to grab it unless donated (as in the case of Binghamton).
