Thanks, the recent UKTV animation had a few notable flaws with one scene in particular being really bad where the Mainwaring falling over scene was replaced with an awkward close up of Mainwaring's face squirming. Made no sense and just looked bad
I partly worked on this with Jon's son Sean who confirmed that whilst the original 33RPM audio copy in the book was stolen a cassette copy was made before the theft.
Wasn’t sure if you knew, but Carolyn Seymour played Harold’s wife in the first steptoe and son film…contrasting role. She’s also the maid in portrait for troian episode
Forgot about that with the Steptoe film but yeah the Troian episode is just creepy. Funny that Troian is also the name of Bellisario and Pratt's daughter
Doctor! Can you hear me? We have a being of PURE EVIL called Boris Johnson here in England your favourite part of Earth? I believe he's really a Zygon supreme commander trying to disable us because you always save the Earth from England don't you? You must stop him. Then the cost of living crisis can be finally ended. Good luck!
The whole show including the idea was stolen from the George Formby film "Get Cracking (1943)....For decades the producers and the BBC took credit for stealing it. Just thought you should all know.
The screenplay for that film was by Lawrence du Garde Peach, although it starred George Formby who sang three songs which he composed himself. Apart from featuring the Home Guard it has nothing very much in common with DA. I suspect that little , if any, of it influenced Jimmy Perry and David Croft's writing.
I think if they ever want to get the 4th doctor back on they should cast u since tom baker will be to old to play him. Well done ur a great actor and a great impersonator.
