PRYDE VS TARKIN! TIN PIN TARKIN STILL STANDING AS PRYDE JOINS THE SAGA!

OF ALL the items in the PCAS collection, this is something I have a real soft spot for 🙂 It's a Peter Cushing Tarkin Pin / Badge! It was given to me by Gladys Fletcher, who started PCAS back in the 1950's. Seems it was given to her by a fan back in 1977, and she passed it on in 1978. I love the font and considering how old it is now, it's aged rather well. I don't collect pins and I have only worn it to a convention back in 1980. It's lived in a little box for safe keeping since then. There are now many pins, badges, fridge magnets and all sorts depicting Peter as 'the most evil man in the universe!' but as I have never seen this pin anywhere else, it's pretty special . . Over at the FACEBOOK PCASUK FAN PAGE we've invited everyone to share images of any special or vintage Cushing, Tarkin or Star Wars pins, and the results are quite interesting!

THERE HAS BEEN AN ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY, of what is seen by some fans as an interesting addition to the army of #STARWARS characters of actor! British actor #RICHARDEGRANT is playing #GeneralPryde, a villain of similar #TARKIN proportions in #THERISEOFSKYWALKER, released this December, is most exciting! I wonder if we will be sharing vintage tin pins of Grant's Thrawn in 40 odd years time??? I do  hope, Grant is my top five favourite actors. We wait, with much anticipation and I don't think, we 'Over Estimate His Chances!' 😉😊😀

#TOOCOOLTUESDAY: LEE ON TERENCE FISHER TARKIN AND MORE ALI PICS!

#TOOCOOLTUESDAY: HERE IS A GREAT interview with Christopher Lee, where he gets the opportunity to talk about Terence Fisher, Hammer and all sorts of things connected with the business of the industry. Very interesting interview. Even though this was recorded for use as an extra on a blu ray, the interview doesn't suffer the problem that many of later the interviews with Lee did... digging for info JUST about the film that the interview was packaged with, as an extra. This is the FIRST of TWO interviews with Lee we'll be sharing over the next few days. He's on form, sharp and entertaining as ever... coming up soon, both Christopher AND his wife, Birgit interviewed in one of the strangest interviews I have sen yet!

#TOOCOOLTUESDAY: Back last week we posted a photograph of Christopher Lee with the late, Mohamed Ali. I received requests asking if there were any more pics of that meeting and how did it happen. Well, I have made this banner...here are another four photographs, and Christina Lee's (daughter of Christopher and Gitte Lee) account of what happened...and more!
