The new Wall Writing photo discovery – a joint statement

[Toofew]

EDIT: Never mind folks, I found it under the Ripperologist thread...silly me.

Folks, can I get either a link or a quick synopsis on what Neil and Robert's find was? I checked on Google for the City of London Police Museum and from what I can tell, they lost the budget battle as their site goes to a "This Account Has Been Suspended" message.

Thanks in advance,

Billy

13

Hello Robert. Thanks. That one has the action transposed from Denmark to England. It is a bit silly.

I must look into those older ones. I daresay they are good.

Pint of Scotch? If it's a good aged single malt, do you know what it would cost? As the punchline of the old joke goes, "I'm crazy but I'm not stupid." (heh-heh)

Cheers.

Ah, you've linked to the Chris Lee ones. They're good too, but I was thinking of the ones they did in the 70s. Actually there is a dramatised Number 13, but it seems to be very recent :

OK on the wager provided it doesn't turn out that you mean a pint of Scotch.

wager

Hello Robert. Right. Here's the wager. I post a link for "Number 13" below. My pint versus yours it is still there next year.

Game?

Cheers.

Thanks for the info, everyone.

Lynn, yes, but the trouble with youtube is you never know how long things are going to be there. Take Night of the Demon : I watched it on youtube a year or two ago, then when I wanted to watch it again, it was in one of those confounded squeezed-up formats where there are gaps at the top and the bottom. I think they have a normal version back up now, but it is a worry.

M R James

Hello Neil, Robert, Rob and Lucky. Many of those great BBC productions of James are available from YouTube.

Say the word and I can provide the links--provided the original poster does not smite too hard for my being off topic. (heh-heh)

Cheers.

There was a version made in the late 70s of Casting the Runes with Jan Francis i think. Not very good from what I remember.

[Mr Lucky]

No complaints from me on M.R. James or Night of the Demon. They also adapted Casting the Runes for Mystery and Imagination in the 60s, but I fear most of it has been wiped.

Oh whistle and I'll come to you, my lad.

Hi Robert

The 60's and 70's BBC Christmas M.R James ghost stories are coming out on 5 DVDs by this October, IIRC

Well worth watching for any MR James fans.

So do I Colin, however I fear it will be a long time before that happens.

'A warning to the curious' might be an appropriate title for someone wanting to dip their toes into ripperology for the first time.
And of course 'Casting the Runes' was adapted into the greatest horror film ever made 'Night of the Demon' a favourite of Stewarts.

A legend and a true gentleman. I wish he'd start posting again.

[Robert]

Well, knowing Mr Begg's fondness for horror films, I'll guess at him.

[Monty]

I like MR. James Robert.

I'm very pleased he is in this issue of Rip. Of course he is the favourite author of a well known Ripper author, care to guess who?
