Why are they leaning into the theory that The War Chief was the Master, as opposed to Harold Meaker on Rentaghost? Which is inherently more interesting.

The Rentaghost Annual (1983) RetroSpective video is finally up! Join me as we take a detailed page-by-page look at what's inside this rare TV annual - apparently the ONLY Rentaghost annual that was ever released. (Nice, crisp visuals too - my first proper video with the new camera! )

Here's a still from my upcoming Rentaghost Annual (1983) retrospective video; a two-page spread from the annual, showing the music, chords, lyrics, and some alternative verses for the Rentaghost TV theme song. Video coming soon to my RetroSpectives channel: https://www.youtube.com/RetroSpectives

My next RetroSpectives video will be a detailed look at the popular, semi-rare 1983 Rentaghost Annual. As always I'd like to include your comments in this video, so if you had this annual, have it now, or have ANY other memories or thoughts about the book, leave a comment on this post and I'll try to include as many as possible in the video. The second image here is a sneak peek at the contents page.

Finally got hold of the relatively rare 1983 Rentaghost Annual (I think this might have been the only one they did). Quite the nostalgia trip. I'll probably do a review video of this, maybe in the new year.

After his death, Fred Mumford wants a second chance at achieving the success that eluded him in life. Coming back to Earth as a spirit, he recruits a Victorian gent and a medieval jester to set up "Rentaghost".

There's a player called Claypool on the Chacago Bears team, but I'm old and British so all I see and hear is Timothy Claypole from Rentaghost.

I haven't seen Rentaghost for decades: https://www.bigissue.com/culture/music/rentaghost-which-90s-indie-band-ripped-off-a-kids-tv-classic-for-their-one-big-hit/

Apparently Timothy Claypole causes ire to the local spaniel. #rentaghost

The 9yr old is oddly invested in this episode of #rentaghost on #bbc4

Sadly Michael Staniforth (Timothy Claypole) died in 1987 (5 years after this episode) aged 44 of an AIDS-related illness

Nice to see Mat Irvine (too many productions to mention) get a credit under 'Visual Effects'. #Rentaghost #BBC4

It shocked me the first time I saw "The War Games" and realised that The War Chief, evil Time Lord / prototype Master was Mr Meaker from Rentaghost

Dobbin klaxon! #Rentaghost #TheMyrka

Wonder if Polystyrene was influenced by Professor Yaffle from Bagpuss? #Rentaghost #BBC4

Top fact - Mrs Meaker is played by Ann Emery, whose brother was Dick Emery.

And I knew that Mr Meaker lookalike tailors dummy would lead to some hilarious consequences!
