Peter Gilmore CDs

[vivdodd456@btinternet.com]

I have got PG on tape reading Lorna Doone and CD done in 2010 by cast of Follow That Girl – both through Amazon. Can anyone supply me with a CD copy or the vinyl of PETER GILMORE SINGS GENTLY and SONGS OF THE SEA?
Having at last read all the messages from over the years I see there was a time when an offer to do CD copies was made – any left? I have an audio tape with PG singing on the Cilla Black show back in 73/74? – yes I resorted to taping from the tele before we had a video recorder!!!
Is Bill Scanlan Murphy still out there? – loved his message about the 'Gilmorisations'- I should think PG was a menace to act with – a little bit of a loose cannon?
Finally,Bill,where do you get the pics to add to the descriptions – can any one download them?
Are Diana and Marrianne still there – keep adding to the website and keep the faith.Have you any up to date news of Peter and Anne? Afetr the showing of the Onedin Line on Yesterday there are lots of new, yoiunger fans and it should get shown again, somewhere.
regards to all Viv Dodd

Hi

Can't agree enough, loved catching up with the Onedins after so many years. Really annoyed when they stopped the 7.00 repeats. Surely they realise that a lot of people work.

Thank heaven for Dutch DVD's. Waiting on series 8 to come out.

In the meantime my Onedin, Gilmore/Stallybrass collection is on the increase just finished collecting all the novels.

Nice to hear from fellow OLAS people, By the way that stands for Onedin Line Appreciation Society.

Regards

Still here!

Peter was a *menace*. He drove poor Howard Lang, in particular, clean up the wall. There are numerous occasions in the transmitted shows where, if you look carefully, you can see that quizzical look on Howard's face that simply meant "has he finished yet?" when Peter has delivered some ludicrous paraphrase of his scripted lines. It was common for sound manager Peter Barville, in particular, to roar "Or words to that effect!!!" down the talkback to his boom operators after a particularly extravagant Gilmorisation. One time Peter said absolutely what was on the page, and Howard was so surprised he dried. Peter Barville rewarded this with a joyous "It says 'ere!" Happy days.

My strangest memory of Howard, by the way, was passing his house on Parsifal Road in Hampstead when on my way back to my then-inlaws' house after a dub. His living room was piled literally to the ceiling with a huge pyramid of seaboots. He was the only member of the cast who actually sailed.

So sad to see dear old Mervyn Haisman pass away the other week. Known to all on the show as Merv the Scribe, he was responsible for driving the show into all sorts of places it never should have gone (what Gerald Blake once called "Crossroads In Crinolines"!), but he was a genuinely good and decent man. He was almost schoolboyishly proud of having scripted one of Boris Karloff's last films, The Curse of the Crimson Altar. Karloff, he told us, preferred to be addressed as "Billy" (his real name). The things you learn in the BBC club …
