#MOMENTSOFTERRORMONDAY!
BACK IN 1954, Peter Cushing Cushing's appeared in a little BBC
television drama entitled, 1984 . . .based on the novel by George
Orwell. The show went out LIVE on December 12th and 16th December 1954.
Such was the response to the first broadcast, the government at the time
met at discussed if the show show be repeated after the initial
broadcast.... it made a star of Peter Cushing, and sent his career in
path that would change the public perception of the meekest of
actors...
THIS LATE NIGHT LINE UP program was broadcast by the BBC in order to
meet the huge reaction to the show. Interviewed are Peter Cushing his co
star's Andre Morell, Yvonne Mitchell, director Rudolph Catier and the
writer and script adapter, Nigel Kneale.... Television was never the
same, and Peter's Winston Smith helped lead the way......
REMEMBERING Lttle Ern' 🙂
Born today, Ernest Wiseman, one half of probably the most successful
comedy duo to ever come out of the UK... Morecambe and Wise. A good
friend of Peter Cushing's, who attended Peter's 80th birthday bash and
if the scripts are to believed... kept Peter short of his appearance
fee, and provided us with probably one of the funniest and longest
running gags, in the whole Eric and Ernie repertoire! When Eric his
partner passed in 1984, no one looked more lost than Ernie.
BUT HE CARRIED ON, working, doing
interviews, panto..until his retirement. The Eric and Ernie, even though
they claimed it was based on their heroes work, Abbott and Costello,
they were certainly stamped well, as Britain's favourite comedians,
Christmas isn't the same without at-least one of their many repeated
shows on tv. Happy Birthday, Little Ern, God Bless your short 'fat-hairy
legs', and that 'join' you could never see.
