SEASON 1:
October should be a month of thrillers, closing with Halloween, so that's what my TV show threads will reflect. Hope you all enjoy.
Attention readers: I have been implementing a new system that is nothing more than a note to myself; for cues that I want to include in a suite one day, for now on I will denote them with ^ symbol. It has no special meaning to anyone else but myself. No, the lack of an up arrow symbol doesn't mean the cue is bad (it just may have too much SFX or FX for suite use or just isn't worth my time to edit and include). Hence forth this system will be in all future threads and pre-exiting threads that I go back to for missed episodes. Anything in ( ) are just notes to the arrow and you need not bother with that.

This series aired on "A.B.C. Wide World Of Entertainment" in the U.S. and Randall Larson got this series confused with the Revue Television series that aired from 1960 to 1962 in his first edition of "Musique Fantastique".

I noticed that you changed the header. Who is Paul Clay?
Jay
My understanding is that Paul Clay functioned as a music editor on this series.
I think what he did was to track Johnson's music into those segments which did not have any original compositions for them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Paul B. Cay was a music coordinator and then later on a music supervisor on the series, however, while verifying credits, I found he is credited for one episode score, so I added him to the title. And it's a good score, too.

I could not find a load with the original opening/closing credits.
One of the best scores of the series so far, which isn't many since while episodes had good cues and I noted them, many episodes before were kind of all over the place on consistency and cohesive music. The use of jazz stylings and an upbeat re-occurring theme, are all good fun. The evil butler episode score above was also one of the best.

The moody woodwind cues sound a lot like Herrmann. Perhaps another contender for a good score.
"Golden rule, lad: Move first, think afterwards."
"Who Killed Lamb?"
NO COMPOSER CREDITED
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_F15hNuVoA
Highlights:
59:40 in.
NOTE:
This is a very unusual entry. This "episode" was added to the show in re-runs and put on DVD as an episode of the series, but not only was it not part of the original series, it's made by an entirely different production company and not like the rest of the episodes. This has no businesses being connected to the show.
There is no composer credited, so it's a track job. And there's very little tracked. I cited a tracked cue simply because I liked it. Not even IMDb had a list of the tracked music (sometimes you can find that for episodes of British series; somebody has a lot of free time on their hands!).

Surely another contender for one of the series' best episode scores.
* = I hate stupid, stupid, stupid shit like this in productions: Where a woman is being chased and instead of yelling for help, telling people she's being chased by a murderer, and even letting her boss know what happened, she stays quiet. This doesn't reflect any reality I know of. And it's even worse in this episode: instead of running to help or safety, she ran to work so he would know where she works. Lord. Even Rod Serling is rolling his eyes in his grave.
And the stupidity doesn't end. She just needs to die, get it over with. I'm now rooting for the bad guy.

Paul B. Cay was a music coordinator and then later on a music supervisor on the series, however, while verifying credits, I found he is credited for one episode score, so I added him to the title. And it's a good score, too.
There's long been debate about Paul Clay's role. He is also credited for the music (apart from the theme) for the ITC series 'The Adventurer' but I think the general opinion has always been that he was an editor or music supervisor (a role he occupied in later 'Columbo' seasons too, by which time he'd moved to the USA) and not a composer.
'Who Killed Lamb' was actually a stand-alone episode which was presented as a 'Thriller' but was in fact produced by Yorkshire TV and not, as I recall, anything really to do with the Brian Clemens series.
Anyone interested in 'Thriller' may be interested in the book A THRILLER IN EVERY CORNER by Martin Marshall. It is a very detailed book about the production of the series, as well as being a very large book:

Maybe a second tier effort for the series, if not one of the series' best.

I could not find a load with the original closing and opening credits. I suspect Johnson is credited in those.
For the guys here: 20:44 in. You're welcome. The bikini girls lead into the 22:54 cue, by the way.

1:10:06 in.^
Maybe a second tier effort. It was going fine the first half of the score, but then lost it's steam. Couple have been a contender for a series' best score if not for that.
"A Midsummer Nightmare" (A.K.A.: "Appointment with a Killer")
NO COMPOSER CREDITED

One of the best scores of the series. Shame it's apparently a track job from unknown composer(s).
"Death in Deep Water" (final episode)

23:15 in.^
29:46 in.

1:07:12 in.^
1:10:07 in.^
For the guys here: 18:10 in. You're welcome. She's also in a small two-piece bikini about ten minutes earlier (and again at 21:42 in and 23:55 in).
The remake opening/closing credits of this episode are fucked up. They both skip crediting Johnson with the score, and only credit one of the editors (three are just skipped over).
And the original opening/closing credits have different attributes for Johnson. The opening says "Music by" and the closing says "Music Written by".
This final episode is also one of the rare episodes that has a credited director of cinematography. Normally only the cameramen are credited.
"A bottle of bourbon, you said? I'll help you sample that, don't worry."
Tomorrow, for the month of Halloween, another thriller TV series.
