	Armchair Theatre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Armchair Theatre was a British television drama anthology series, which ran on the ITV network from 1956 until 1968 in its original form, and was intermittently resurrected at various points during the 1970s.
		The most successful era of Armchair Theatre is generally regarded as being that overseen by the Canadian producer Sydney Newman, who was ABC's Head of Drama from 1958 to 1962, and who personally produced over forty episodes of the programme during this period.
		In 1976 the Thames series Plays For Britain, although not officially part of the Armchair franchise, was avowedly inspired by Sydney Newman's work, its aim being to reflect social circumstances and conditions in the UK in much the same way as Armchair Theatre had done in the late 50s and early 60s.

		''Armchair Theatre'' was a British television drama anthology series, which ran on the ITV network from 1956 until 1969 in its original form, and was intermittently resurrected at various points during the 1970s.
		In its antique form it is known as a writing armchair in the United States and as a tablet armchair in the United Kingdom.
		An Armchair treasure hunt is any activity that requires solving puzzles or riddles in some easily portable and widely reproduced format (usually an illustrated childrens' book), and then using clues hidden either in the story or the graphics of the book to find a real treasure somewhere in the physical world.

	ARMCHAIR THEATRE \| A TELEVISION HEAVEN REVIEW
		Although the series captured a respectable audience rating in it's early days, it wasn't until 1958, and the arrival of Canadian producer Sydney Newman, that it gained a reputation for the ruthless, down-to-earth and back room 'kitchen sink' type of story for which it is still remembered today.
		There were two major spin-offs from Armchair Theatre, the first of which was John Wyndham's 1962 play called Dumb Martian, which became the pilot for Out Of This World, and James Mitchell's Magnum for Schneider (1967), which eventually resurfaced as the pilot for Callan.
		Unfairly dubbed 'Armpit Theatre' because of the stark realism it at times portrayed, but enjoying a reputation for drama of the highest quality, for many, Armchair Theatre was not only an essential part of Sunday night viewing in Britain throughout the 1960's, but an outstanding contributor in the history of television production.

		Some of them sat very energetically - the rowers, the bikers and the sailors - and even a prone shooter would probably say that the mental effort involved was equivalent to running a mighty long way.
		But for those of us in the armchair, it's just not the same.
		I deeply admire their effort (clearly Herculean) and I'm often intrigued by their skill (not being a sailor, I never did quite twig what the yachters did that made them better than anyone else).

	Alan Bates Television Archive: "The Thug"
		The play, which ranges between the raucous, flowing life of a coffee bar and the backwater of a far from prosperous record shop, is set in London, but it could be any big city.
		In "The Thug," presented last night in A.B.C.'s television series "Armchair Theatre," Miss Jane Arden returns to the theme of withdrawal from society and the barrier between the generations which pervaded her earlier work "The Party."
		And it is hard not to feel that the group have been introduced in altogether too calculated an opposition to the shy, vulnerable girl.

		The series, in any guise, was a different drama with different actors every week, and was the most popular ABC programme after 'The Avengers'.
