Barrychuckle's latest activity

For me Bryan Pringle almost ruins one of my favourite episodes, Cheering Up Ludovic, though it is hard to blame the actor when they are merely acting under instructions; I find it tiresome watching people supposedly blind drunk.

I think he was really poorly cast in this instance. He was a three time BAFTA award recipient and he spent a lot of his career in the theatre. I don't remember him in a comedy role before. He was awful in SW.

Must be all of that exercise from the dancing he did throughout his career.

... that's unkind calling Tom a stuffed animal

I would say that Waldo was the worst guest star. I was never sure what the purpose of that stuffed animal was.

Not until sometime after 7pm tomorrow :tw::fp:

Controversial but Auntie would become Uncle , an Arkwright like character played by the cleverest wheeler dealer the great Phil Silvers who could play it as the recently retired from the army Sgt Bilko.

Set it in New York with slightly more neurotic characters and you have Seinfeld.

Lassie could play Waldo :tw:

Angela Lansbury could have played ANY female part in US LOTSW.

I have seen far too many attempts to create American versions of our older favourite shows (Red Dwarf, Faulty Towers for starters) which were appalling! Very sorry to our wonderful American brethren, no offence meant.

Although technically English I could see Angela Lansbury playing a brilliant Auntie Wainwright. She was outstanding when I saw her play Madam Arcati and I think that character does have parallels with Auntie.

David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser as Cooper and Walsh.

Kathy Bates as Nora

Judd Hirsch as Clegg. John Mahoney as Compo. Christopher Lloyd as Seymour. John Candy as Sid.
