Welcome Doctor, but are you a medical practitioner? I think I'd be rather freaked out if my GP said "Ah I've seen a hand like this before, twas in the Quatermass Xperiment!"

As I'm sure you know there's a good Amicus softback book out there. I'm sure I've got it buried somewhere round the house.

I'm a proper doctor as I have a Doctorate - all these Medical chappies are allowed to call themselves 'doctor' as a sign of their profession.

On the other hand, most of them are probably rather more socially useful...

Maralyn - was it? I must have missed it - what channel? One of my favourite films and I agree with your views on it! Also, what a fabulous opportunity, to meet Sir Arthur Bliss - thanks for sharing that anecdote!

I'd say that a broad knowledge of Amicus and British horror is equally valid

Welcome all, BTW...

Welcome Dr Amicus. I am intrigued to know how one gets to do a course on a subject such as Amicus Films. I mean, who creates the course content and sets the assessment criteria etc?

Bats.

If he was a Medical Practitioner with a Ph.D... he would not be called 'Doctor'. The Ph.D. will be a non medical one for him to have the title 'Dr'.

I love the fact that Medical Doctor's get their PH.D. to become a 'Mr'... whereas I became a Mr by simply getting married and leaving my parent's home - lol

'Things to Come' is quite recently available on DVD in digitally restored form... I have it in my collection

It is a two disk set... with some nice special features... I'd have to go down to fetch the DVD to refresh my memory of the features... but I remember I appreciated them

The only doctors I have met who are known as 'Mr' are surgeons .... all the others are known as 'Dr'.

If I was ever to complete my doctorate .... I'd be a Doctor of Nursing.

You were a Mr before that, although then it was an abbreviation for "Master" not "Mister"

When I got my MSc my sister cleverly suggested that it really stood for "Mister Stephen Crook"

P.S. Just noticed that this is my 5,000th post

Premature acclamation?
You rat. You must have deleted one. It did say 5,000, honest
Well this should do it
