Pat Phoenix. James Booth, Dudley Sutton, Yootha Joyce, Richard Harris and Glyn Edwards.😉
The starting ground for so many actors who became household names. Talking of which, nice to see Pat Phoenix in this just before she became Elsie Tanner.
Changed everything. Didn't need or want the approval of RADA or the West End, just found raw talent and forged their own path. Very cool to see this.
I can remember her being interviewed on TV when I was a child she seemed a nice lady.
Theatre 🎭 for the working man and woman existed and will again ❤
Let's hope so
Did anyone spot Richard Harris plus Dudley Sutton
Yes! In the caf!
A young Dudley Sutton 9:36 !
9:26 A young Richard Harris on the left !
Nice to see Dudley Sutton amongst her troupe.
Very cool
Fascinating, but I can literally smell the tobacco coming out of this video 😂
It reminds me of the SNL bit "back in my day" with Seth Meyers 😂
First class ❤
Did anybody spot Glynn Edwards, who played Dave in Minder?
Yes!
09:40 The bloke from Lovejoy!
Dudley Sutton, who worked with Joe Orton, whom you have never effing heard of you racist see you enn tee.
09:24 Yootha Joyce!
The guy with the pipe is annoying just my opinion
He looks like a young Stephen Fry.
The American spellings in the closed captions are quite jarring. I'm surprised at the BBC using them for a video for something so essentially British.
When England was still English.
EDL r.sole.
The rather quaint and English introduction of critique and cultural Marxism to our theatre. The slippery slope started here.
Aye, right. And now shite is what is mostly staged, musicals, mug punter stuff.
No, I think it was an inevitable reaction to the realities of post-war British society. The ideological stuff usually comes from the critics, which then gets recycled into the later pieces, until you get what we have today; plays for critics and not for audiences... thus the cycle continues!
Well-said. That and box-ticking for funding authorities has emasculated theatre.
Much of 'the arts' is now state-funded propaganda, especially aimed at brainwashing our children. @@heraldeventsandfilms5970
