[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 424829, member: 23"] Some top-notch raconteur action going on in this 1972 appearance on [I]Parky[/I]. [CENTER] [MEDIA=youtube]OCZA8TxBsps[/MEDIA][/CENTER] There's lots of familiar material - the "bum trouble", his ENSA days, Orson Welles telling him to "piss off"; Edith Evans criticising his voice - but it's done with his usual flair. This one had me laughing out loud: Tall tales aside, it's a genuinely intelligent interview, and I love how seriously all present take it when it gets down to talking about their craft, funny voices and all. And with hindsight it's always a little touching to hear discussion of funny people with tragic lives. For reference, this would be around a week and a half before [I]Carry On Abroad [/I]arrived in the cinema, so that will be the film he talks about getting a good notice from [I]The Times[/I].
