Tying in quite nicely with our Warner Brothers release of The Satanic Rites of Dracula remastered blu ray, along with Dracula AD 1972 AND our splendid COMPETITION to bag copies of the releases and several other BITINGLY good prizes! We'll have the answer for this on FRIDAY. MEAN WHILE, please feel free to jump over to the FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE  and enter YOUR ANSWER on the thread. GO ON, have a go!

#TOOCOOLTuesday! NOT THE HOUSE that JACK built, but GEORGE. George Cushing that is, Peter Cushing's father. George was a quantity surveyor for Purley District Council, who bought the land this house sits on, and also designed and planned the building of it! The Cushing family moved in 1926, and Peter born in 1913, his brother David three years older, lived there for many years.The house has now been lovingly renovated, spruced up, to enhance it's Edwardian style by the charming Camlett family, who certainly appreciate the Cushing connection of the house! Only this July a BLUE PLAQUE was placed on the house, to celebrate its connection, to Peter Cushing.

ABOVE: HOW THE HOUSE LOOKED,  JUST A FEW YEARS AGO, BEFORE THE CAMLETT FAMILY, WONDERFUL RESTORATION!

THE LONDON BLUE PLAQUE SCHEME prides itself on celebrating extraordinary people at the places where they lived and worked.This beautiful house on St James Road, Purley is the second Cushing home to be awarded a Blue Plaque. The first was erected at the home of Peter and his wife, Helen Cushing in Whitstable, Kent.

#HAPPYFATHERSDAY: FATHERS PASSED BUT NOT FORGOTTEN!

#HAPPYFATHERSDAY! It's the day for Dad's whoever you are, wherever you are all over the world. Father's here, Father's passed. Father's who can celebrate with their children today, and Father's, for whatever reason can not. My Dad is 4,000 miles away today, but only seconds away when I picked up that phone. He is, all I could ever ask for in a Father and friend . . .hey and without him, I never would have seen Dr Who and the Daleks in the cinema way back then!

CUSHING'S FATHER George, was a rock. Though he was closer to his Mother, Nellie, his Dad was always there for him, when he needed him. Cushing joked that his Father paid for his air ticker to the USA back in 1939, but he bought a ONE WAY ticket!!! Victoria Price has shared her memories of her Dad Vincent in an amazing book. And today she still travels the world, sharing stories and celebrating her father. Christina Lee I am sure, is still really missing her Father, Christopher. You only have to see the pics of her and her Dad to know, they were very close. With both Christina and Victoria, you can see many mannerisms that hint at their Dad's.... Happy Father's Day!
