Thank the Lord for that. I thought you were going to get Kingstonian and Grayson started again
In one hand they hold Apparel Arts and Esquire illustrations from the 1930s and, in the other, a butterfly net, casting at shadows;

Re Robert Taylor:
One of my Mum's all time favourite actors. He was a guy almost "too good looking for movies" she reckoned.
My memory of him was his very recognizable gravelly voice which always had a sharp commanding military sort of cadence rather than being the mellifluous voice you would think his looks would have evinced.
I would add Derek Jacobi and Alan Rickman.
I'd rate Nicholson, Spall and Cooke as B1 list in the voice department. I suppose that Clint Eastwood has a voice (apparently he learned the huskiness from MM).
It's strange actually that most politicians have never had much going for them in voice. Reagan had something but not Clinton, the Bushes, Obarrack; Thatcher, Major (my word), Bliar, Broon, Milliband, Cameron and who's that little guy up there with him?
Yes. For now we see through a glass, darkly. But I'm not sure whether or not the 60s deserve to be viewed as the beginning of the rot.
On Pink Floyd's Piper: How I hate that album. It was playing on what seemed like a loop( which it obviously wasn't because such things were yet to come) during a very bad acid trip many years ago.
