WHAT A SPLENDID WAY TO END a terrible year... You may remember some time
ago, I shared the exciting news of some Peter Cushing BBC Sherlock
Holmes 'Lost footage' having been found? I think no one could quite
believe me... BUT here they are, over at Facebook PCASUK Fan Page... extracts from Kaleidoscope, with some
superb colour tinting work by Jonathan Evans Coley😊 There is also an UNSEEN interview with Peter, raw footage of him
discussing the role and how he got that amazing costume from 1971. Peter
looks quite dapper too. The extracts are very interesting and wonderful
to see at last! With a bit of luck, Jonathan hopes to provide us with
some details of how the whole adventure of finding these clips began and
some background on the whole process. Well done Kaleidoscope, top
marks, Jonathan! ENJOY!
'Between
9th September 23rd December 1969, Peter Cushing and Nigel Stock
starred in 16 episodes of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 'Sherlock Holmes'
series for the BBC. Of these 16 episodes, ten remain missing from the
BBC archives. In 2019 four extended excerpts were recovered as
subtitled black and white 'telerecordings' intended for Dutch
television. Tey have been restored to their original colour format and
are now presented here for the first time. The excerpts are bridged by
clips from an unseen 1971 interview for Dutch TV's 'AvroSkoop' in which
Peter Cushing discusses his playing of #SherlockHolmes both on television and film . .
