Hi chaps Here's something for you to mull over, over Christmas. http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj2dPzt7WQj1XIIOaNA8jPQ/videos Happy new year... DG How do we know this is Glen Lambert? And if it is, this is most likely one of the short-lived "Bathing Girl" Comedies that the Bray Co produc...

Re: Peter O' Toole JEFFREY BERNARD IS UNWELL (1999)
Richard, I thought you might enjoy this if you haven't stumbled across it before. Two of your favorite actors, Mr. O' Toole and Mr. Welles together on BBC's Monitor in 1963 discussing Hamlet with the host and a academician. The two actors are in perfect sync with each other, agreeing on every point...

Re: Peter O' Toole JEFFREY BERNARD IS UNWELL (1999)
I think we should be amazed he lived as long as he did considering the life he led. Most of his drinking buddies left us in their fifties.

Re: Not OPRAH's Bookclub
After riding high with DIPLOMANIACS and HIPS, HIPS, HOORAY! , their comedy really turned south following THE NITWITS . It's almost as if RKO had lost interest in them due to that flash-in-the-pan dance team on the lot. That was part of it, but the code was what killed Bert and Bob, and frankly, giv...

Peter O' Toole JEFFREY BERNARD IS UNWELL (1999)
Back from California, and bummed about Peter O' Toole, one of the ones we should have figured out a way to keep around permanently. Here's one of his last really great performances, from the West End stage, not on DVD and finally scared up on Youtube since his passing. If you haven't seen it, take a...

Re: Christmas Shopping In Luton
Is this set captioned? Jim Apparently not, and looking at the Amazon listing, apparently not even the complete original issued film versions of the Concerts. Couldn't Shout Factory clear the Billy Connolly appearances? His version of Rolf Harris's "Two Little Boys in Blue" at the SECRET P...
