The Mirror Crack'd (1980) Review

When a small English village is used for a big American movie to be shot, Miss Marple is delighted this is happening near her. However when famous actresses Marina Rudd and Lola Brewster starring together was always going to be a disaster as they hate each other! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Continue reading Untitled

Nerdery

Here is something the first episode of Inspector Morse (1987) and the first episode of the magnificent BBC radio series of The Lord of the Rings (1981) have in common:-

Philip Voss (the Coroner / the Lord of the Nazgul[1]) asks searching questions of Peter Woodthorpe (Max DeBryn[2] / Gollum).

I have to wonder whether the parallel occurred to either or both of them during the filming of Morse. ;-)

Incidentally, because this delights me, here's a full list (so far! I may have missed some!) of actors who were in both the LotR radio series and the morseverse:-

James Grout (DCS Strange in Inspector Morse / Butterbur)

Michael Horden - (Dr Starkie in Inspector Morse ("Service for all the Dead") / Gandalf)

John McAndrew (Leslie Garnier in Endeavour ("Cartouche") / Pippin)

Robert Stephens (Sir Wilfred Mulryne in Inspector Morse ("The Setting of the Sun" / Aragorn)

Philip Voss (the Coroner in Inspector Morse / the Lord of the Nazgul)

Peter Woodthorpe (Max DeBryn / Gollum)

That all makes me so happy. :D

ALSO

a) James Bradshaw's played Bilbo Baggins in a stage production of The Hobbit so Max really is the hobbit pathologist (Bilbo!Max and Gollum!Max ;-) )

b) the composer of the LotR radio series was the late, great Stephen Oliver who (was the wonderful comedian John Oliver's uncle and also) wrote the music for the RSC musical of Nicholas Nickleby that was rather a hit in the 1970s. It was the success of that musical that was a huge part of why Trevor Nunn and the RSC in general were willing to take a risk on a musical of rather a long book by Victor Hugo in the 1980s... So, there's a Roger Allam connection too. ;-)

[1] Aka the Witch-King of Angmar, but he's called the LotN in the radio series cast list (and it makes sense for him as a title for nerdy reasons I won't go into ;-) ).

[2] "DeBryn" was created as Max's surname for Endeavour so strictly speaking that's inaccurate but.

Man in a Suitcase: Night Flight to Andorra (1.30, ITC, 1968)

"You know we're not in this for kicks by now, don't you?"

"I heard a story about Buck, whoever Buck might be, something about taking me behind the sheds and murdering me."

"Ha. Well, old Buck watches a lot of TV, ma'am."

#man in a suitcase #night flight to andorra #classic tv #1968 #reed de rouen #jan read #freddie francis #richard bradford #peter woodthorpe #zia mohyeddin #luanshya greer #ewan hooper #edward underdown #carlos pierre #robert crewdson #peter swanwick #fred beauman #ricardo montez #charles laurence #nita lorraine #and so McGill bows out. this was probably never intended as a series finale (it was 28th in production‚ with 1.26 The Revolutionaries the #final episode shot) but it inadvertently acts as a kind of unofficial coda on the series; McGill is finally back doing the work he was #trained for‚ albeit in an unofficial capacity‚ putting together a team for a heist on behalf of the uk government. much of the exposition #is handwaved through (we never really know how McGill came to be doing this job‚ nor why he's explicitly working for the uk when the US are #also a concerned party) but there's much to enjoy in the classic heist setup of a band of uneasy allies working to their own agendas. of #these‚ the late Mohyeddin is the standout as the sole likeable member of the gang; so charming in fact that even when he pulls a knife on #an innocent girl‚ he manages to do it in such a way that he still seems perfectly reasonable and friendly. de Rouen had cowritten the only #real dud in the series‚ 1.22‚ but this is a much better script (and he bagged himself a supporting role into the bargain). Woodthorpe was a #theatre legend‚ having originated parts in both Waiting for Godot and The Caretaker‚ but he was also an infrequent supporting actor in #brit horror films and had already worked with director Francis on three pictures (inc the excellent The Skull for Amicus)

Rewatching (or re-listening-to) the BBC Lord of the Rings audioplay again because @tolkien-feels reminded me how great it is, and it’s uncanny how similar Michael Hordern’s Gandalf in the audioplay and Ian McKellen’s in the movies sound. I think Sir Ian must have listened to the play and taken it as a model!

Everyone in the play is great, but Peter Woodthorpe’s Gollum and Peter Howell’s Saruman are the absolute standout performances. I think they surpass the movies, and that’s saying something given how fantastic Andy Serkis and Christopher Lee were.

Also FYI, Ian Holm, who plays Bilbo in the movies, voices Frodo in the audiodrama - I think that was a very lovely homage by the movies!

More “Endeavour” & Tolkien chittering:-

The thing is, if you form a mental image of “a hobbit pathologist”... I mean, that *is* Max DeBryn, completely.

And I adore that he’s been played by two people, namely:-

James Bradshaw, in Endeavour, as the young Max. Who has played Bilbo Baggins in a stage production of The Hobbit.

Peter Woodthorpe, in Inspector Morse, as the older Max. Who in his life voiced Gollum/Smeagol not once but *twice*, once in the Ralph Bakshi animated film of (the first chunk of) The Lord of the Rings, once in the (spectacular, cannot recommend highly enough ever) radio series.

Also the concept of a hobbit pathologist does make me enormously happy, and also also there probably need to be some fics in which Max is in fact a hobbit. :D
