willjam39 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I must admit to putting Ivor through the suggestion page on Rapidos website. I would love one and they must be a fairly simple engine to achieve having seen the motor tech on the Hornby Pecketts and Hattons Barclays 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever come across a film with so many reasons among the cast for not wanting to see it. Regrettably now that lockdown is being eased one of the most obnoxious among their number might well start showing his face in town here again as he unfortunately only lives a few miles away. However local downward equilibrium is maintained by the fact that a certain newspaper proprietor of Australian extraction lives a similar distance away in the opposite direction. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely most if not all the cast of a 1953 film have now passed, if one is still to be seen in your local town is he/she a Zombie - that would be obnoxious. Or do you mean the potential (please no, not like St Trinians) remake with all our favourite stars - maybe this time that elusive asteroid will hit the set just when the cast are there but not the crew. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the original cast have now passed away. The only survivors of those who took part were some locals recruited as extras who were children at the time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite me thinking this is a ruse, I feel compelled to say that I think a remake makes no sense unless it's a period piece - either set in the same period, or, at worst, during the Beeching cuts. Any attempt to do something similar in any other setting just doesn't work, and I can't see modern 'comedy' actors such as those mentioned being any good in a period setting.

What you need is the ‘Carry on ‘ principle of having actors who could do comedy rather than the having comedians that can’t!

Edwardian Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I thought Bill Nighy;s character in Love Actually summed it up rather well when he addressed "Ant or Dec" James Corden I struggle to like. As for Brandy-Wandy .... Danny Dyer .... I've heard the name, but honestly have no idea who he is. Katie Hopkins isn't she some insane fascist famous for being an insane fascist? Brendan O’Carrol - never heard of him. Gemma Collins ditto Truly, in this case, I am confident that ignorance is bliss. 5 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
