Bryan Forbe's 'Thank You'

[Rennie]

I am going to send a big 'Thank You' to BF. If you have any messages for him, leave them on this thread, and I will copy and paste, and forward them to him in about a fortnight. Please add a printable signature!!



Should you have any questions, with regard his answers, leave them here too. I'm sure he will be only too pleased to clarify any of his answers.

PS: Sorry about the Forbe's

A heartfelt thank you to Bryan for taking the time to answer so many questions - it is much appreciated.

Thank you Brian. Very much appreciated. Best wishes, Dave.

Thank you very much Bryan. Hopefully at some stage in the future we could hear your thoughts as a producer on British filmmaking in general past and present; its successes and failures.

[stevie boy]

Cheers Bryan, if only for Bunny Warren

A big "Thank you" for taking the time and trouble to give a very interesting set of answers and other responses to the questions from a bunch of admirers of British films. It was very much appreciated.



All the best to you and the family

Nice one, old darling.

[John Hodson]

An unsung hero no more! I'm always delighted to see Bryan Forbes name attached to any film, it's a form of 'stamp of quality'. I wonder when are we going to see 'The Whisperers' on DVD - a very fine film indeed.

[Geoffers]

It was very good of Bryan to take the trouble to answer all the questions with his usual frankness and good humour. I wish him many more years of writing!

Mr Forbes, Like a black pearl or a rough diamond, I have always considered "The Whisperers" as a hidden or under appreciated jewel in the crown of British filmaking. Now that you might get the recognition you have earned, perhaps a little spotlight might deflect on to this little masterpiece.

PS

I just recently saw Thorold Dickinson's "Queen of Spades" for the first time, A nice primer for Dame Edith no ?

Got my ticket today and might get there a bit early and have a look around Elstree village for a while. Spent many happy years in the village before B.T.

Aitch,

Ahh - Tescos....(spit)...



I remember soon after they threw that heap of bricks together I wandered round the site doing some comparative pictures (I had been there as they finished off the demolition job on the main part of ABPC). As I walked round the back, to look at the area where the big old tank used to be, some weasel faced youth of a security guard came out and tried to admonish me for taking pictures of what was 'private property'. I just glared at him and he soon scuttled back to his rathole...



The so-called 'studios tribute' out front of the store didn't seem to be around for very long - same for the 'honouring Elstree's heritage' info boards which used to be inside the shop.

Thanks Alan. Relates to Seaton, an area I know very well - and there's another Tesco close by anyway, at Axminster, famous for chucking out Hugh F-W as he objected to their factory farm chicken! River Cottage and Hugh's new shop are also nearby...
