Vinegar Tits 606 Posted January 3, 2021 3 hours ago, Paul Bearer said: I was watching an old film yesterday I think it was. Freddie and the dreamers were in it, something about cuckoo's, can't really remember the title, only caught the last 10 minutes thankfully. The acting from the 60's pop stars was pretty grim. I watched that a week or so ago. Slightly desperate stuff, mainly because Freddie Garrity and Pete Birrell were unbelievably annoying in it. The film would have been much improved had the rather stout leader of the Girl Guides pack (Wilhemina Claudia (W.C.) who buys Jim Dale in Carry On Cleo) had dumped Freddie physically in a dung heap - it would have been a nice and justified bit of physical comedy. And what on earth were Kenneth Connor and John Le Mesurier thinking of appearing in such rubbish? It surely must have been a favour to someone. Anyway, we're going wildly off-topic here, though Talking Pictures TV is really handy for reminding us of actors/potential future DDP fodder. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Bearer 6,102 Posted January 3, 2021 Watched 'What a Whopper' a couple of weeks ago. I'm thinking all the cast of that film must be dead. I'm sure I seen it first time round about 50 years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finale 1 Posted January 3, 2021 Talking Fucking Pictures? I knew the average on here was old, I didn't think it was the same average age as the DL'a picks (90 something) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have them on your own previously published shadow list you can congratulate yourself on your prescience. There are only 50 slots on the main list and a large number of good candidates. Also being previously on the list but having been dropped is a miss. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure I seen it first time round about 50 years ago. Try any of The Huggetts films - every single person in those are dead bar Petula Clark! And more people would have had Barbara Shelley on their lists if they watched Talking Pictures, so think on... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
