Inspired commentary, Jim. Unfortunately, I do not have a copy of this and only recall TBOD from its initial run on TV. I do not recall it being repeated in subsequent years, strangely. Nevertheless, I have always considered it a favourite.
Robert Stephens was indeed a fine actor. I enjoyed him in the Asphyx (1972) and his rather brief appearance in The Shout (1978).
I realise I'm in no position to make requests but I'd like to hear a commentary for the latter film, if I may be so bold sir.
I well remember a very severe winter up here around the time TBOD would have filmed. 83/84 ish.There is a picture of me somewhere standing in about 4 feet of snow while wearing a balaclava, which were all the rage up here then. Bank robbers fashion gone mainstream.
The full series is available on Youtube - I have no idea of the legality of it - but it's been up a few years!
Now The Shout is a movie I;ve only seen the once and have been meaning to track down for some time! When I do there will be an episode on it!
Yes there was massive snows when they tried to film - so much so they nearly couldn't get the crew and equipment up there!
Should have guessed. Slightly surprising all the same. I'll look that up for another listen. I forgot to say that I noted your enthusiasm for railways/ trains, Jim. It came shining through the podcast.
The Shout is well worth looking out. It was released on dvd a few years ago and should still be available. A gem of a film. Superbly offbeat.
