sheila mckenna is all too ready to move on after she learns of her husband frank' s extramarital affair; certified public accountant jack palmer' s wife roxanne takes part in his fantasy of becoming highwayman dick turpin .
is to become famous outlaw, dick turpin. when he gets his wish, he gets far more then he expected .
the show' s problem is the conceit. it imagines a contest between three men: william ainsworth, a novelist who gave a romantic gloss to turpin' s story in the popular novel rookwood almost 100 years after the robber' s execution in 1739; the 18th - century historian thomas kyll; and richard bayes, a pub landlord and contemporary of turpin' s who wrote the genuine history of the life of richard turpin. which of them is the real keeper of the flame? or is it none ?

turpin (bap. 1705 - 7 april 1739) was an english highwayman whose exploits were romanticized following his execution in york for horse theft. turpin may have followed his father' s trade as a butcher early in life, but, by the early 1730s, he had joined a gang of deer thieves and, later, became a poacher, burglar, horse thief and killer .
a reader writes ,
a western friend of mine tells me that cowboys have been known to ride as far as 300 miles on a single horse in twenty - four hours. now, it strikes me that that would be
some runnin' .
even dick turpin didn' t come up to this mark. have we any records to substantiate the claims of my western friend ?
turpin, we are told, rode his famous mare to york, 150 miles, in a single day, and it is a source of no little satisfaction to know that the notorious english criminal was properly hanged for his deeds. he should have been hanged for the ride on
black bess ,
if for no other reason. the ride is not mentioned in the newgate [ prison ] records, and the story in its original form is attributed to maginn, although it is graphically described in ainsworth' s
rookwood .

foremost among english feats of horsemanship we have one which for generations has been represented in the circus ring. dick turpin' s famous ride from london york has taken its place among nursery legends; nevertheless, it was actually performed, and stands as a record of its kind. the highwayman, riding with the very best reason in the world - the safety of his neck - covered the distance of 200 miles in a little under twelve hours. this performance stands alone as the longest and fastest journey ever made on the same horse. most of the long rides of which record exists have been made for wagers; such records are therefore reliable .
dick turpin is probably the most legendary highwayman of all time, and his rapid flight from london to york is the most famous part of this legend. mention the name of turpin to most people, and they will tell you he was a daring and dashing rogue who famously rode this trip of two hundred miles on his faithful mare, black bess, in less than fifteen hours. in so doing, turpin actually got to york before news of his misdemeanours in london. tests on horses that specialise in endurance events have shown that this would not have been possible .
the show gets bogged down with this trio when, in fact, it is at its best when it just tells turpin' s story. after all, it is a ripping yarn: a psychological study of a man who loved his horse but thought nothing of roasting old ladies over a fire. or maybe he loved old ladies and roasted his horse. we' ll never know .

18th century melodrama. though bent on avenging a wronged father, turpin is deflected from this by falling in love and marrying. from story by jack dewitt & duncan renaldo based on the poem by alfred noyes .
various inns that still stand along the original route of the a1 (at the time called the great north road, the main road connecting the north of england to the south), such as the roebuck inn, stevenage, claim that turpin ate his lunch there that night, or stopped off there for a brief respite for his horse. if he had really stopped at every inn that makes such claims then he wouldn' t have had time to ride anywhere. (from wikipedia .) yet the legend persists, as the following stories show .
eclipse no. 222, 1932. so i' ve just been re - posting some fixed videos. and i' ve got some footage shot in york on sunday lying about. and i' ve already posted a song about dick turpin' s journey to york but it had no visuals... what to do, what to do... ? so anyway, this may be the last of the re - posts for a while; i' ll try to post something new soon. and at least with this one the visuals are new. here' s what i said about the song last time... jacks payne and hylton released versions of this around may 1932, so i guess this version on the woolworths cheapo eclipse label was around the same time. and it has a similar feel to the riddles song i posted by the blue lyres, which was also from around the same time. although these 8
eclipse discs have a reputation for good surfaces, most of the ones i come across are knackered. but despite being almost cracked right through, this one plays pretty well .

it is a diverting idea, but diverting is all it turns out to be. though this two - and - a - half - hour performance is enlivened by lovely, folksy songs and a talented, hard - working actor - musician cast, it often plods along rather than galloping forth like the noble black bess. the last ride of the title is a long time coming, and way overextended when it finally arrives .
squire osbaldestone' s undertaking to ride 200 miles in ten hours, which he accomplished so successfully on the 5th of november, 1831, is one of the most remarkable feats of endurance in the saddle, and has the merit of freedom from cruelty. the squire rode his race on the newmarket race course, changing his horse every fourth mile. four miles is a safe limit for such a purpose, as that splendid horseman knew. three - mile laps could have been covered in time relatively a little better, but a sound horse in fair training could do his four miles without distress in such time as to make that distance, with the consequent reduction in the number of changes, the most suitable for the purpose. mr. osbaldestone used sixteen horses for his task, and rode standing in his stirrups like a jockey, while he kept his mount at best speed from start to finish of its four - mile heat, having quite a
set - to
with his pacemaker at the end of each. the squire was a hard man, and in good training, so suffered no bad effects from his exertions .
the times is not in possession of any records to prove the greatest distance covered by a horseman on the same horse in twenty - four hours, but from time to time reports have come from the wide west telling of fabulous rides made by cowboys. how much truth may be in them cannot be said. one cowboy is said to have covered a distance of 200 miles on a pinto in twenty - four hours, but we have no proof that this is true, and the fact remains that it would seem to be rather beyond the endurance of even a
black bess
such as the notorious turpin bestrode .
