ABOVE IS THE QUESTION and ANSWER to last week's Cushing Tuesday Toughy! It seems as
though either script writer Jimmy Sangster's or set designer, Bernard
Robinson's LATIN was a bit lacking! We asked you where were the Latin
words we posed, seen in a Peter Cushing film, AND what did they mean?
Well, the latin is seen on the family crest, above the fireplace in
Hammer films 1958 'DRACULA' and it looks as though didn't quite
translate, in the way they probably wanted or intended. FIDELIS ET
MORTEM translates as 'FAITH AND DEATH', where what they thought they
were displaying was, 'FAITHFUL AND DEAD'. Oh dear! Utinam Non!

SINCE PETER CUSHING'S PASSING IN 1994, some interesting details about his career and life have surfaced, for sure. I suspect many in the industry knew about this, and this little fact has been several published, but I suspect that this might get many you thinking. IF you do think you know the answer and want to added to the banner of 'those who cracked it' next week. Drop me a line : petercushingpcas@gmail.com . . . ANSWER NEXT WEEK. LAST WEEKS TOUGHY ANSWER BELOW . . .
THE ANSWER TO LAST WEEK'S TUESDAY TOUGHY! THIS CORRECT ANSWER COMES FROM MARCIA, who correctly identified the THREE following CUSHING SHERLOCK productions. But THERE IS we find, ANOTHER one TOO! MARCIA'S answers are:
ANSWERS: 1) The Abbot's Cry, the follow-up to Masks of Death. 2) Peter was offered a part in Jeremy Brett's 'The Last Vampyre' as the clergyman Merrydew 3) Not positive about this one, but producer Kevin Francis wanted to remake 'Hound
of the Baskervilles' with the Hound animated by Ray Harryhausen, with
Peter as Sherlock.
THE ADDITIONAL entry is what was to have been a one man show with Cushing as Sherlock. Peter passed on the opportunity and another actor filled the role.
Worth noting is Marcia's kind message about the website too! "Thanks for
the notice on the Zoo Gang bluray and the great Doctor Who article. As
neat as Moffat's including Peter's Doctor is, I still think of Peter's
Doctor as an actual part of the canon, not just as an actor playing a
role. I love his two films as the Doctor. And finally, I love The Last
Meeting clips!! I watch them repeatedly and enjoy every minute. Look forward to this page everyday!" Best wishes! Marcia Loisel
