CONGRATULATIONS to our FIVE WINNERS! Last
night we launched the second of our two 'The Hound of the Baskerviles'
competitions in conjunction with Shock Video.. we asked you to spot a
missing item in a publicity still from the 1959 #hammerfilm
starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee... under the banner of a bit
of fun, we told you a thief had stolen the item, and entitled our
little competition caper, The Case of the Disappearing Gift of Africa
and the Race Against Time...which in itself was a clue to the missing
item, that you had to find within a time limit. It was tricky....
The FIVE WINNERS have each bagged themselves a copy of #hammerfilms
'The Hound of the Baskervilles' from Shock Video... the FIRST time
available on blu ray....a smashing blu ray / dvd combo pack!
AND THE WINNERS ARE: JOHN JOHNSON, TATYANA DYBINA, SEAN CORRIGAN, KEN HILTON and FAY SAINSBURY. WELL DONE!
THE SOLUTION AND ANSWER:
There
were many, many of you who spotted the missing item in the publicity
photograph...though for some it was a little more tricky. Some though
Christopher Lee's ring had vanished, a wrist watch (?) had moved. One or
two answered that we had moved our logo at the bottom right of the pic!
But, what we were looking for, was a detail in Sir Henry's costume... that in fact, wasn't really part of Sir Henry's costume at all ! Christopher Lee, since he was a young man has worn a bracelet made of 'Elephant Hair' on his right wrist. It was a gift given to him while serving with the SAS in South Africa during World War Two.... ('Gift' and Africa'...the title to comp, see what we did there? ) You can spot it in many of his films, Dracula (1958), Rasputin (1966), The Devil Rides Out (1968) ... often it is hidden with costume cuffs and jackets, but it's always there, because according to Lee, he has never taken it off since the day he first tied it to his wrist....
So, there you go... Look out for news about a GREAT competition we have lined up for Halloween over the next few days...
