July 26, 20251 yr Sorry to hear about Ray French. Not really my game but his voice on Saturday afternoon Grandstand reminds me of my youth. Liked the way he said Emosi Koloto.
August 4, 20251 yr Can't say I know much about Whale, other than decades ago he was a bit controversial and often rude to guests. Seems to have been appreciated though- others in the public eye have offered positive comments.
August 6, 20251 yr Norman Eshley , he played the snobbish neighbour Jeffrey Fourmile in George and Mildred amongst other roles. Edited August 6, 20251 yr by dusan nikolic
August 7, 20251 yr Would normally pop up in Euston films productions as maybe a solicitor or a businessman or a bent detective.

In my college hols I had a job with an undertakers and was called out in the middle of the night to pick up a "bod"... got there and the family had called us before the doctor... Doctor greeted me outside... "she's not dead yet but don't go home, if you park up over there I'll come and get you"... so there I was in a pub car park listening to James Whale waiting for an old girl to pop her clogs!

You're travelling 2000+ mph, you're 200,000 miles from the earth, the the 13 cubic m craft you're in has just blown up and thus you're not sure exactly what direction you're going in. Response: "Houston, we had a problem". They must have needed the whole Saturn V power just to get his balls off the ground.
