There's one salivating sample which contains a performance by Helen Mirren, and despite all her attempts to burn the original negative she failed in her mission. Yes Hugh Hefner was the EP!<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR8In_TOhvk<br />It's just as well it's free, because you couldn't give it away.<br /><br />The pond looks forward to Scott Morrison taking us back to the days of identifying the evil oriental as the source of all that's wrong with the world. He might even prove better at it than Sherlock Holmes, who could never solve the case of the fairies at the bottom of the garden that Conan Doyle swore blind were real.<br /><br />Come to think of it, there's a lot in common between Conan Doyle and Scott Morrison.

(mind you that may have been deliberate).<br /><br />There's a Nazi officer called Sheila.<br /><br />The old church on the hill - stock footage reused several times in the Rathbone/Bruce Holmes' classics and several other horror films of the time.<br /><br />And the classic lines from "His Last Bow" - <br /><br />Watson: It's a lovely morning, Holmes.<br />Holmes: There's an East wind coming, Watson.<br />Watson: I don't think so. Looks like another warm day.<br />Holmes: Good old Watson. The one fixed point in a changing age. But there's an East wind coming all the same. Such a wind as never blew on England yet. It will be cold and bitter, Watson, and a good many of us may wither before its blast. But it's God's own wind none the less. And a greener, better, stronger land will be in the sunshine when the wind is cleared.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-80493401414059423532013-02-28T09:25:54.710+11:002013-02-28T09:25:54.710+11:00A canny move by Pell, blaming the departing Admin ...A canny move by Pell, blaming the departing Admin for administrative failures, just before we have a good look at administration under his own hand.
