Frank Allen interview

[royclough]

Friend of mine quick off the mark with this it was only screened last night at 10 pm in UK


Hopefully part 2 to follow later as I have to go out

Hmmmm.
Telling the same old stories using the same words that were in his book?..
All is fine, but that part when he tells about Dusty Springfield... maybe it's just me, but it doesn't seem to be so nice. Private matter, that is. I mean, if i had such a talk with a sweet young boy, i'd rather be hoping it would stay "between us", so to speak.

I would not disagree Sheena and I have actually told him that in a roundabout way, it was the journalist I believe who wanted it in.

Besides DS is not here to dispute it.

Yes, that's the point.

Given that FA has written a couple of books the "stories" are in the public domain albeit to a limited audience. The journo has decided to focus on what she thinks the viewers will be interested in, and rightly so as most people wouldn't have heard them before. This wasn't an in-depth exposure type interview just fairly light entertainment.

It reminds me of Mrs Richards in Fawlty Towers when Basil was under pressure about the view from the hotel window in Torquay

"Well may I ask what you expected to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plain..."

Sorry about the quality Roy as it started out at 760MB and had to be compressed down to about 40MB after having about 15 attempts at trying to upload it as it was, but better than nothing I suppose....

I shall have another go at trying to upload the original size file and leave the PC on overnight like I did last night, when the first part uploaded OK and it was also just over 700MB in size! Maybe YouTube was very busy during the day and was too slow to cope and hopefully tonight people will be in their beds instead of uploading to YouTube!!!

PS: Just had a thought.... it may not let me upload it again and may well say 'cancelled, duplicate file'.....

YouTube did let me upload the clip again as an MPEG with 347MB so the quality should be a little better than the one with only 30MB!
