DR WHO AND THE DALEKS: PETER CUSHING AND ROY CASTLE : OUR FAVOURITE TIN THING
Oh my! Ideas of what could be inside those
armored shells of the Daleks have certainly come a long way since
Peter's movie back in 1965. It was almost as if the makers thought the
creature inside was also sat on a little seat, wheeling the figure
around..not unlike the real controllers! I was only 6 years of age when
I saw this film, the first movie I saw in the cinema. It is this scene
and the creepy claw like hand I remember above all else... Peter
Cushing as Dr Who and Roy Castle in DR WHO AND THE DALEKS (1965)

PETER'S TWO AUTOBIOGRAPHIES RE RELEASED AS COMPLETE MEMOIRS FOR CENTENARY YEAR 2013
PETER'S TWO AUTOBIOGRAPHIES RE RELEASED AS THE
COMPLETE MEMOIRS FOR HIS CENTENARY APRIL 23RD NEXT YEAR: "This lavish
new book collects both volumes of Peter Cushing's memoirs - "An
Autobiography" and "Past Forgetting" - with extensive unseen
material from his private collection. Cushing was widely known as 'the
gentleman of horror', his kind and sensitive nature a sharp contrast
with the Hammer Horror roles that dominated his work from the 1950s
onwards. This is Cushing's own account of his remarkable career, and the
devastating sense of loss he suffered following the death of his wife.
It offers unparalleled insight to the meticulous professionalism and
private torment of a legendary film star."
