Does anyone know when UKTV history will show KESSLER?

Thanks.

I don't think Kessler's been shown in years, perhaps because of contractual issues. It's long overdue for a re-run!!!

There was also a one-off follow up of Secret Army about a lifeline reunion set in 1968. It has never been shown but no-one seems to know why.

Yep, that was a shame. As far as I know it had something to do with the content having communist sympathies or something!!

Hi, I checked with UK Hist and got this reply:

Thanks for your e-mail.

We are glad to hear so many people have enjoyed watching Secret Army on
UKTV History. We will certainly look into showing 'Kessler' at a future
date.

Regards,

UKTV History

I must admit I was slightly disappointed with Kessler but great that more people are discovering or re-discovering the excellent Secret Army.

Actually, I just saw an advert for Kessler on UKTV History, which said it would start next Tuesday at 3pm. (Just confirmed that with my Freeview 7-day programme thingy.)

Not much help now ...but it was also shown on UK Freeview chan "Yesterday" (was UKTV History) Twice thru this year, [it might have still been called UKTV History as they have not long changed the name], so they might do so again.

Kessler was seriously one of the worst BBC dramas of all time, a real turkey. Okay it was hampered by budget cuts, but even more by a silly script and lousy acting. I'm thinking of posting a joke laudatory reeview of it, headlined "Kessler was the MAN with the iron mask".

Mr.Hitler has made life very difficult for Shakespearian companies.
