ONE CONDITION! Over at the PCASuk Facebook Fan Page today, you can catch up with a very interesting interview with #ChristopherLee on 'that' subject matter, he knew very well, but after the late 1970's, didn't really want to discuss any more, 'DRACULA'! But, surprise, surprise, here at the BBC in 1992, he did. The foundation, on which this interview was built swaying, was the sudden rash of vampire themed films and tv drama appearing on the box at that time, and at the flicks. Kim Newman, author and critic, shares his opinions and a plug for his novel on 'Anno Dracula'. Lee shares some interesting thoughts on his playing of the character of Dracula and things are going well, until the programme presenter falls foul.
LEE is no fool and had heard just about every gag, joke, and lame cod reference, to his playing the Count. So, 'Do you find the public or children are afraid of you', and 'Will you ever play Dracula again..?... ends the interview, with clang and gold star to the presenter, who no doubt was counting down the seconds left, so she could trawl out, that tired ol question. Lee understandably, defends any hint of the assumption, and is quick to outline, the passing of much time since he played the role and has done MUCH more and different roles, over the last 20 odd years. However, he does give pause and for this first time an extension on his usual answer, thus giving the presenter a Brownie point and badge, for her persistence and the interview gets a tabloid ending, with a scoop . . .
