What is the strangest job you have ever had? Mine was coaching movie star Oliver Reed in the delicate art of sleight of hand. This is the second part telling the story of the crazy month I spent with him on Nicolas Roeg's Castaway, a task which has to be one of the most unusual jobs in the history of motion pictures.
Oliver’s views on women and other rather unseemly observations are certainly not shared by my own. If you are easily offended by descriptions of raucous behaviour and appalling language please don't watch.
Come visit my London venue where many artefacts associated with these experiences are housed and on display. www.houseofmag...

Very amusing, all the more so with your excellent Oli impressions.

I’ve never seen him so relaxed and at peace with himself when he owned Broome Hall and was breeding horses and helped to save the house from falling into ruin. If only he hadn’t sold it and had stayed focused on those projects perhaps his demons might have stayed away

Thanks Sean, I really enjoyed doing these. Regarding your observation of the very few comments, I am not too bothered as I am of a generation which sits awkwardly in today's social media world. Like Ollie having been brought up to believe that boasting and continually talking about ones self was bad manners or 'bad form' as Oliver would have said. So making these is really to provide some entertainment to a few friends and people such as yourself who appreciated this giant of a man, his generosity, humour and his talent. Cheers for now

@@houseofmagicuk1 More fans of Oliver will discover your work,it's just that it's at the bottom of the RU-vid section with Oliver's interviews,so fans don't know of it yet,I'm planning a Oliver Reed pub crawl soon,just the pubs he went to when he was based in that huge mansion in Surrey, just researching the area now, is it true that Oliver's old mansion has been converted into appartments, just wondering if that was correct,thanks again,Simon.

Sensational and outrageous! Thanks for sharing these amazing stories with us, Simon. I still think an audio book of your memoirs would be a sensation - you read/perform so evocatively. x
