gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 08/10/2026@frogalapeche.bsky.social Horror Express. It’s on BBC iPlayer. Just started. Telly Savalas is in it. 000
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 02/10/2026@frogalapeche.bsky.social Onto The Mummy. Lee has just walked out of an unrealistic pond after some mumbo jumbo from an Egyptian chap from Central casting. Lots of familiar faces in the supporting cast. 000
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Quick cup of tea then into The Mummy. Same cast. 000
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 02/10/2026@frogalapeche.bsky.social Fantastic fast chase, fight scene, solar powered Dracula exit. And that’s it! What great little film! Fast and frantic. Enjoyed that. 000
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 02/10/2026@frogalapeche.bsky.social Amateur blood transfusion time. Wine is prescribed by VH rather than a kitkat. 120
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 02/10/2026@frogalapeche.bsky.social Mina looks more alluring after her late night trip to the undertakers. 000
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 02/10/2026@frogalapeche.bsky.social Cushing has the most fantastic tweed double breasted jacket. 000
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 02/10/2026@frogalapeche.bsky.social Lucy got the stake. A short but impressive appearance. 010
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 02/10/2026@frogalapeche.bsky.social Tanya (the kid) went walkabout, Vamp Lucy enters. Peter ‘fixed’ her. 000
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 02/10/2026@frogalapeche.bsky.social Lucy et morte. Cushing arrives before she’s cold. 000
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 02/10/2026She just took off her crucifix, and adopted a welcoming pose on her bed. 000
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 02/10/2026@frogalapeche.bsky.social I think Cushing bumped off Harker, but off camera. First appearance of Lucy, who is a bit drippy. Oh hold on she’s going out the window. 110
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 02/10/2026@frogalapeche.bsky.social Peter Cushing enters the chat. 000
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 02/10/2026@frogalapeche.bsky.social Harker just staked the goth girl. Not a euphemism. 010
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 02/10/2026@frogalapeche.bsky.social It moves along very briskly. Harker is in on it that Dracula is a vampire, and we’re only 10 minutes in. This took all day in the book. I’ll let you know if any Whitby stuff happens. 000
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 02/10/2026@frogalapeche.bsky.social I’m watching Horror of Dracula for the first time. 110
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I think Palin is solid. Doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously. Did decent work after Python came to an end. Doesn’t spew any crap. 000
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 14/09/2026No one has a September reset, it’s just August but not as good. 000
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I went to Whitby, it was excellent. Happened to be pirate weekend, which was icing on the cake. The fish and chips were so good I had them for lunch and dinner, or dinner and tea. There was a Dracula reenactment going on too. 000
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Whitby is as good as everyone says. Proper seaside, and if you’re into a bit of gothic, it’s got that too. Plus world class fish and chips. 000
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I’m in Whitby for Gothic adventure. It’s pirate weekend. 010
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 24/08/2026The introduction to QoS with the shot over the lake and the car chase stands out. The start of CR in black and white was good, then it turned into a Poker documentary. Skyfall was nonsense. Nttd another incomprehensible over long mess. 001
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 22/08/2026It was this King Lear set I saw. Big tree on a grassy knoll. 110
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I’ve got to go in the attic later. I’ll endeavour to find the mythical VHS! I do have a dvd of me on the kids program and I’ll try and get that working. It was real! 120
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 21/08/2026It was this set. Diana Rigg was in it too, John Hurt 110
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 20/08/2026The Producer, forgot his name, showed us around the studios. We went into the King Lear set, and I remember a big tree in the middle, but little else. It was Granada’s hey day. I could have gone into media back then, often think about it. I could have been Granada’s @garyjamesactor.bsky.social ! 110
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 20/08/2026And I have a DVD of me on another Granada kids science program hosted by an Op Yewtree convictee. While I was there I got showed around the Olivier King Lear set. This was when Granada was doing Brideshead, Jewel in the Crown… 220
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 20/08/2026There is a VHS in the attic of a 16 year old me being interviewed on Granada TV for some vox pop slot Granada Reports was doing on ‘Cholesterol’. I was eating fish and chips. It then cut back to the studio and Richard Madely does a segue into an interview with a ‘Cholesterol expert’ 011
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 29/07/2026And I live two miles from where she disappeared from! 110
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Now that’s how you preserve the excitement in a relationship! 000
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Happy Father’s Day Sir, the best to you! 110
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 21/04/2026HP Lovecraft’s grave in Providence, RI. Providence was pleasant, a welcome surprise. Off to Boston today. 000
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 25/03/2026I’m guessing pre Beeching, well it must be. 110
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 20/03/2026OK you’ve sold it to me. I’ll get on it. 020
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 20/03/2026@garyjamesactor.bsky.social @frogalapeche.bsky.social At the BFI south bank end of the month. I’ve never seen it, but you both rave about it. 120
gavcritchley.bsky.social @gavcritchley.bsky.social · 17/03/2026I love how you casually throw in your times with world class celebrities! 110
