    PBS Mobil Mystery Theater Presents
    CHARTERS & CALDICOTT
    Written by Keith Waterhouse
    Hosted by Vincent Price
    1985 PBS MYSTERY Poster
    featuring Charters & Caldicott from the
    BBC/PBS television series starring
    Robin Bailey & Michael Aldridge.
    This Charters & Caldicott poster, created by world renowned
    artist Seymour Chwast and the Pushpin Group, is one of the
    rarest of all PBS Mystery posters and is nearly impossible
    to find today. One reason for this is that the series aired
    for only one season in 1985. Very few of these posters
    ever make it to auction. Most are found in galleries or
    private collections. This could very well be the only
    opportunity you'll have to purchase an original PBS
    Charters & Caldicott 1-sheet. I can't remember
    ever seeing another one offered on eBay, the
    poster is that rare! This is not only a
    beautiful work of art but a shrewd
    art investment whose value will
    surely increase over time.

    Charters & Caldicott is a 1985 BBC mystery series featuring the characters
    Charters and Caldicott from the Alfred Hitchcock film The Lady Vanishes
    (1938). The series featured six 50 minute episodes broadcast on BBC1.
    It was then brought Stateside by Network 7 Productions for PBS.
    The series plot features Charters & Caldicott in their retirement. Caldicott lives
    in the splendid Viceroy Court in Marylebone, while Charters is a widower living
    in a country cottage near Reigate, travelling up to his Pall Mall club on a
    Green Line bus (hailing it on the street as if it were a taxi). When a
    young girl is found murdered in Caldicott's flat, the two friends
    forsake their regular Friday lunch and cinema visit to
    involve themselves in a spot of derring-do.
    Note that this poster was never folded!
    An unfolded
    poster is always far more
    difficult to find than
    a
    folded poster
    of
    the same
    title, and finding
    unfolded
    vintage posters in very
    good to
    fine
    condition
    is nearly impossible!
    This amazing Poster comes rolled in a heavy duty
    protective tube. It should be linen-backed
    and
    framed by a professional. Backing
    and framing
    adds value to Artwork.
    So spend a little extra
    and
    have it done right.
