Slightly O/T: BBC "Big Read"

Featured Replies

Hi folks and especially Bill... ;-)I was watching the BBC's "Big Read" Top 100 books of all time last night and, amongst the top-21 short list that we all get to vote for between now and Christmas was a rather well known tome called "Catch 22"...The thing is, it was being championed by John Sergeant, a BBC News reporter. He was first seen sitting in a co-pilot's seat above a familiar looking blue circular emblem, then next to a Sperry bombsite, then wearing a set of David Clark's inside.Whichever B25 it was, the speech was dubbed because you could hear it. It didn't half look extremely familiar though. Has the BBC been giving Russ some dosh to play with his bomber? :-hahIan P.BTBT Gopher and resident non-cow-eater.:-halo

You mean they did not give the museum a credit? Shame! Hopefully the fee was healthy enough to make up for that slight. Yes, indeed it was our BT starring in the piece. Somewhere around here, on one of these many hard drives, I have some pictures of the BBC crew shooting some of the ground scenes at MAAM. Russ and I were rather amused to hear the director talking about the star turning from his co pilot's seat and speaking to the camera - in flight! Obviously it did not take long before they discovered that, barring a double-engine failure, this was not in the realm of possibility. When I find the shots I'll post a few.

I got it... ;-) Want me to post it over? The DVD arrives tomorrow off back order, just to totally drive me up the wall!Bill: That was only a thirty second slot in the middle of a run down of the top hundred books. When the "champions" get to do their ten minute stints over the next seven weeks, I'll keep an eye open then. It's far more likely that any credits will appear on that one. I'll also try and remember to sling a tape in! ;-) :-hahIan P.:-halo

Can you drop me a snail mail address for you to my e-mail account for the BTBT please?Cheers. :-)Ian P.:-halo
