Today marks the birthday of actor Neil McCarthy (26 July 1932 – 6 February 1985), who played Calibos in closeup scenes in ‘Clash of the Titans’.

The character of Calibos was initially planned to be mute, given the difficulty of matching dialogue with stop-motion animation. However, when it became clear that the creature had to speak, Neil was found to be the perfect match, due to his distinctive facial features (actually brought about by a form of acromelagy, a condition similar to gigantism). Thus, the character was to become unique amongst Harryhausen creations, as a blend of live action and stop-motion was used for the character throughout the movie.

Before starring as the Lord of the Marsh, Neil was a well recognised face on British television, appearing in a multitude of classic shows and films throughout the 1970s. Very sadly, ‘Clash’ was to be one of his last film appearances, and he passed away less than four years after its release.

Ideas for future episodes of “Epic Rap Battles of History”:

1) The Snow White Battle Royale (Brothers Grimm Snow White vs. Disney Snow White vs. OUAT Snow White/Mary Margaret Blanchard vs. Weiss Schnee from RWBY vs. Fables/Telltale Snow White)

2) Wednesday Addams vs. Sabrina Spellman (theme: the “weird” girls who were beloved sitcom characters that later received a dark reboot)

3) Yuri Gagarin vs. Neil Armstrong (theme: the ‘nauts who left their mark on history)

4) Marlon Brando vs. Humphrey Bogart (theme: two actors who are considered to be the greatest)

5) Benedict Arnold vs. Judas Iscariot (theme: two of the most infamous traitors in world history)

6) Hugh Glass vs. Bear Grylls (theme: legendary frontiersman against a TV show survivalist. Both also have a connection to bears)

7) Joseph McCarthy vs. Abigail Williams (theme: individuals whose legacies are tied to two of the most infamous witch hunts in American history)

Great Expectations (BBC, 1967)

"Do you remember how you once came out of the house and put meat and drink down on the doorstep for me and then turned on your heel as if I were a beggar?"

"No, I don't recall it."

"But you must, don't you remember how I cried and how pleased you were?"

"No."

"But surely you must remem-"

"Pip! You must know that I have no heart, if that has anything to do with my memory."

"I don't believe that."

"Oh, I have a heart to be stabbed at or to be shot at, I have no doubt. And of course, if it ceased to beat, I should cease to be. But you know what I mean. I have no softness there, no sympathy, sentiment, nonsense. If we are to be thrown much together, you had better believe that at once."

#great expectations #classic tv #charles dickens #bbc #1967 #hugh leonard #alan bridges #gary bond #francesca annis #peter vaughan #richard o'sullivan #maxine audley #hannah gordon #neil mccarthy #bernard hepton #ronald lacey #john tate #shirley cain #christopher guard #kevin stoney #jon laurimore #i didn't hate the beebs recent GE adaptation like some reviewers but it did depart quite dramatically from the text in places; this earlier #version is notable in its faithfulness and its thoroughness‚ achieving in less screentime than the 2023 one a near complete telling of the #tale (even including the oft removed Orlick subplot). also notable is that this uses Dickens' originally planned ending for the novel which #he rewrote at the suggestion of his friend E Bulwer Lytton. it's a very good version‚ and very well cast‚ of a story that lives and dies on #its casting. Bond is a very good Pip‚ Vaughan a wonderfully complex coldly amoral Jaggers‚ Audley an imperious but tragic Havisham.#a dark and moody take on Dickens most gothic novel‚ even the opening credits play over a shot of a hanged man on a desolate coast‚ but it #maintains the basic sense of hope in human nature and in the ability of ppl to reform and mature‚ which is to be found in the novel #mccarthy may now actually be the mental image i carry of good kind Joe Gargery and hepton is a delight as Wemmick. highly recommended to #fans of old tv or Dickens or both or even neither... i enjoyed this a lot‚more even than i expected‚ and it's as good a version to be found

Imagine what public figure Neil "you know I get it" Josten would be saying about the shit show that is the speaker of the house vote rn. The roast potential is HIGH and you know Neil wouldn't miss the opportunity

#for my non american mutuals... its real bad rn #kevin mccarthy has lost the vote THIRTEEN times and there's a decent chance he's about to lose a fourteenth #its honestly pathetic but as a democrat it's pretty funny #aftg #neil josten
