Christopher Lee

Because I I want to watch that film, particularly as that is the most Christopher Lee.

You got Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Donald Pleasence, John Collins, Jeffrey Bayldon, Joss Ackland, it's, you know, proper really good actors.

Oh, apparently they were looking to get Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee to play the judge.

And and yeah, as you say, I mean, love Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee and but.

The Hammer one Christopher Lee, which I did, I did nearly watch that and I was like, no, I'm sure they said it was older and it had Boris Karloff and that doesn't add up, so.

Even though it's, like, because it is the second Christopher Lee Dracula film.

Yeah, he was in the Hammer Sherlock Holmes as well, he was in The Hound of the Baskervilles with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, he played Watson.

And then The Reptile was released with Rasputin, the Christopher Lee Rasputin film as a double bill.

No, The Wicker Man is actually, I is it Charlamagne, it's like Christopher Lee's own company or Jake.

And Christopher Lee, I can't believe I still can't believe they got Christopher Lee to be in this.

I've got to say there's a new documentary about Christopher Lee just come out on Sky Arts, I think it is, the Life and Deaths.

Because I always remember I always remember Christopher Lee is because of how well he does it.

I remember to we did The Devil Rides Out and at the end of it Christopher Lee did the incantation to put everything back to the way it had been before anything happened and you used to make me do it at the end of every episode for about 10 episodes I did that.

It's Christopher Lee and Charles Grey.

But the acting of him just, I mean, you would think you've got Christopher Lee in it.

But the acting of him just, I mean, you would think you've got Christopher Lee in it.

But the acting of him just, I mean, you would think you've got Christopher Lee in it.

obviously a lot of the sort of Hammer films carry the Michael Ripper's in it and people who you'd expect and obviously Christopher Lee is Dracula.

Sorry to say this, Lee, but Father Malone, the part was offered to Christopher Lee but he just couldn't do it.

And we could have had a fucking Christopher Lee extended cameo in a John Carpenter movie.

I was thinking that watching it was like, I don't know if Christopher Lee would do like vulnerable, you know what I mean, it's like, you know, he is just actually, I love the bit where she can't where they turn up and she just goes, "Well, I hope he's not in his cart." Cuz I just love that tone for drunkenness.

Christopher Lee signed scripts The Wicker Man and

There's a German adaptation with Christopher Lee called The Blood Demon in 1967.

Oh, could have been, yeah. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, and then Telly Savalas turns up.

it's got Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. They could probably play golf for an hour, and I'd be happy watching them. I'm not a big fan of sport. No, no dissing golf anyone, but I just don't watch much sport. Right, anyway.

it's got a fascinating cast of characters and the way they play off each other, and a bit of rivalry between Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee.

Christopher Lee has a Christopher Lee is a single father with a daughter.

You're holding your own with Christopher Lee, pretty much, you know.

You're thinking, he's Christopher Lee.

Yeah, there's there's it's very charming film again, I mean I think most of the films with Christopher Lee in seem to have that aesthetic, no matter how long he's on screen for it's but, you know, yeah, just the whole thing was just seemed really well produced, enjoyable, yeah, yeah, it was really really good film.

Well, even Christopher Lee's gaff does come with a on suite gargoyle.

I have watched this film probably a dozen times, never realized before, Christopher Lee is trying to do an American accent.

It's it's funny you mention that though because the obviously we're doing this evening we're sort of concentrating on the Hammer edition. I got the Blu-ray, the Arrow Blu-ray of it. And one of the things on there is what's what's called 'The Many Faces of Sherlock Holmes' and it's narrated by Christopher Lee, but I think looking at it, it looks like it is a part of the sort of advertising package for Young Sherlock Holmes.

but before we get too excited and go off on a tangent about how much we love Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, which spoiler alert, that's happening, and Michael Gough, bloody Nora.

I mean, he's he kind of strikes the same sort of figure as say, Christopher Lee does as Count Dooku, you know, like an older, a much older man, you know, not necessarily at his physical peak.

I think it's a daf move though, because what if if Christopher Lee comes back more powerful than you could imagine.

Therefore probably Christopher Lee's films exist, though at no point has anyone gone, you're a dead spit for that.

But um, so yeah, we have got, so obviously Christopher Lee.

There was a couple of moments though, in terms of costumes, Christopher Lee's coat when they're out in the graveyard.

So he tried Peter Cushing, he tried Christopher Lee and then he tried Donald Pleasence.

And apparently Christopher Lee was after, I mean, obviously because it was just a massive success.

But um so Christopher Lee was said has said has said since that he'd regretted not taking the role.

I am. I'm a Christopher Lee fan.

Oh, have you watched So I have watched the Alfred Hitchcock Hour Sign of Satan episode with Christopher Lee. Oh, nice. so I've got a a book of horror stories with Christopher Lee doing the forward.

No and then Christopher Lee ramped it up a bit he had fangs and he was a bit sexy bit erotic. That that was the paradigm shift at that point then

Claire is very fond of Christopher Lee. Christopher Lee.
