Further drift appreciated - and added to!

Arnold Ridley was the uncle-in-law of one of the members of my London jug band in the 1960s. I met him on a couple of occasions, and a lovely man he was. I saw Arthur Askey in the film of The Ghost Train many years ago, and thought it a hoot at the time. I'm not sure if it's had a modern revival, or how it's stood the test of time - but it was a great success in its day.

We had a sixth-former who made a superb job of playing Henry V in our school play when I was in my second year - a certain I. McKellen.

Wot larks to have gone to school with Gandalf... :-)
