Jan at Blue Fox
Jan at Blue Fox was an early light entertainment show created by the BBC in 1952, and in total it lasted for four episodes; little else is known about this early show.
The show was derived from the "Jan's Journal" columns written by Ronald Duncan for the Evening Standard. The columns were loosely based on Duncan's life as a farmer in North Devon. It was adapted for television by Ronald Duncan and George F. Kerr[1] and starred Philip Ray as 'Jan'.
The episodes were:
1: The Day the Tramp Came[2]
2: Fruit and Flower Show Day[3]
3: A Day of Visitors[4]
4: The Day of the Wreck[5]
No footage remains of this programme, as all of the episodes were aired live and never recorded for posterity. The only existing visual record today of this show consists of still photographs.
Duncan's "Jan's Journal" columns were published in three compilation volumes: "Jan's Journal",[6] "The Blue Fox"[7] and "Jan at the Blue Fox",[8] described by the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature as one of a series of "articles and stories on country themes reported from the Evening Standard."[9]
