NOW LIVE: WIN WARNER BROTHERS 'FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE' BLU RAY : PCAS HALLOWEEN 019 COMPETITION

PETER CUSHING APPRECIATION SOCIETY HALLOWEEN 019 COMPETITION

THE COMPETITION!
IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN and as usual, it's another PCAS competition, and a chance to bag yourself a Peter Cushing goody! Are you UP FOR IT? If so, if YOU are ready...here we go . . 😀

THE PRIZE!
THIS YEAR, thanks to the very generous team at Warner Brothers, we have A PAIR of fabulous remastered BLU RAYS to give away. No doubt you have seen our features on their superb and very recent release of Amicus Films 1974 'FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE' . . the last of the portmanteau Amicus films series to finally get to Blu Ray.. and what an amazing job they have made of the release! TWO very lucky contenders have the chance of winning a copy.
The blu rays are REGION FREE.

ABOUT THE BLU RAY:
'From Beyond the Grave', boost quite an amazing cast including Peter Cushing, David Warner, Ian Bannen, Donald Pleasence, Lesley-Anne Down, Diana Dors, Margaret Leighton. Sadly, it was last of the Amicus multiple -story films when produced in 1974. Directed by horror director Kevin Connor, produced by Milton Subotsky and based on stories by R. Chetwynd-Hayes, it is held together by what first appears to be simple frame work story 😉 Four customers purchase (or take) items from Temptations Limited, an antiques shop whose motto is "Offers You Cannot Resist". But, a nasty fate awaits those who try to cheat the shop's proprietor . . . Peter Cushing.

THIS IS YOUR LIFE: GUESTING FOR ERNIE'S LIFE AND THE QUEST FOR THAT CHEQUE!

THIS WEEKEND HERE IN THE UK, it's a Bank Holiday. Which means, traditionally means, The Sound of Music with Julie Andrews will be screened on tv for the 100th time, relatives will visit, over stay and eat you out of house and home, it WILL rain for the entirety of the holiday break, and boredom will reign too! SO, here's a little treat, to be enjoyed and savored, not only here by us Brits, but across the globe, or were ever people need a giggle. 

YOU CAN WATCH MANY OF PETER CUSHING'S APPEARANCES ON THE MORECAMBE AND WISE SHOW, IN OUR SPECIAL PLAYLIST AT OUR PCAS YOU TUBE CHANNEL : HERE!

FOR THE FIRST TIME we present Peter Cushing's appearance as a guest on the This Is Your Life UK show, featuring one half of that great British comedy duo, Morecambe and Wise. Sadly, Eric Morecambe had passed by this point in 1993, but Ernie bravely worked on for several years. Peter Cushing appeared many times as a guest on their show. The first was in 1969, he appeared in a comedy play 'written' by Ernie, where Peter played king Arthur. Throughout the BBC era of the show, he would regularly join Wise and his comic partner, Eric Morecambe. On stage; he would constantly seek payment for his first 1969 appearance, wearily asking "Have you got my five pounds yet?"

FULL FILM: Peter Cushing in 'A Chump At Oxford' with Laurel and Hardy 

THIS RUNNING JOKE continued when the duo left the BBC and moved to Thames Television in 1978. Cushing appeared in their first special for Thames Television on 18 October, still asking to be paid, with the hosts repeatedly trying to get rid of him; at the end of the show, Morecambe placed some money in a wallet wired up to a bomb, in an attempt to blow Cushing up in exaggerated comedic style. In the duo's 1980 Christmas special, Cushing pretended to be the Prime Minister while Morecambe and Wise caroled outside 10 Downing Street; he made the comedians give him money and finally came out to declare "Paid, at last!"

ON FEBRUARY 3rd 1972 and "Live" on television, all glitter and glamour, is the once-a-year event, held in the Albert Hall, when the film and television industry presents awards covering the whole range of the industry . . .. and Peter Cushing is there to present his pals, Morecambe and Wise with their Best Light Entertainment Performance Award, along with their writer, Eddie Braben . . . and no, they didn't bring him his money!

#TBT: HELEN AND PETER CUSHING STUDY THE DEADLINES!

#THROWBACKTHURSDAY: It seems these days, almost every other day, television announces some kind of 'event' . . the trailer voice-overs tells us so! Back in 1954, the BBC's live broadcast of Orwell's '1984' certainly rattled the viewing public, forbidden love, Big Brother, rats and Cushing's Winston Smith's melt-down . . neither British television or Peter Cushing would ever be the same again . . .

GOODNESS ME! DOCTOR WHO ASSISTANT IS A CORKER!

FOLLOWING REQUESTS after our full colour glamour shot of Jill Curzon with DALEK yesterday...here are some more! Curzon co starred with Bernard Cribbins in the 1966 film Daleks Invasion Earth 2150 AD...sequel to the first Dr Who film also starring Peter Cushing, Dr Who and the Daleks in 1965. Curzon posed for several sessions of publicity photographs in order to promote the film, these pics appeared in the daily newspapers,film magazines and glamour magazines like SPAN. For the princely sum of two shillings, you could flick to the pages of delights that included Ms Curzon in glorious colour and several black and white publicity shots.

These magazines in time became much sort after items of memorabilia, the photographs represent the only time the Daleks have appeared on film, and at the time the first opportunity to see the one eyed terrors in colour!
