Title
"Its Prof Again" - David Cleveland (Vision-On) - British TV
Description
We could work entirely without a script and were often called upon to to do impromptu performances of Alec Guiness and Oliver Reed sharing a bedsitter or our more well known characters of 'Tom & George' in "Pop Goes Your Heart". We have at least 100 voices and characters in our repetoire.
Interestingly, in the stage production, Colin Pace played my part (George) whilst Isaac played Tom (as usual). It took Colin quite a while to realise that George was funny in his own right and that a prompt wasn't overly helpful. Although a comedy, "Pop Goes Your Heart" had a rather sad ending and it was suggested at one point that we do the Edinburgh Fringe festival but that would have required backing
As for the Prof, what can you say? This stuff was way before the Goodies (which I also loved), in fact before Monty Python! CAW films were much more than film makers. They were artists who really honed their skills and retained a unique style that was so offbeat you just HAD to watch. They were pioneering film makers who created gags and effects that were exceedingly clever and always understated. Its just great that people can see their films once again.
