That's the 4 seconds I was talking about.

I thought that was probably the best version if only cos every other one has had Quilp as a bad Richard III and I am including the 4 seconds that exists of Patrick Troughton in that.

I can see why that ended Anthony Newley's career. He fucked that up good and proper. Dreary songs and a terrible performance. Everyone else trying to compensate but it's a hopeless task.

Song: Love Has The Longest Memory

Nell is dead and Peter Duncan is singing.

Betsy is present to see him die, which I think isn't in the book but it's a good idea.

He's fallen in de water

Song: It Shouldn't Happen To A Dog

We haven't had a song for ages and Little Nell is beginning to look peaky.

As far as I can tell, Reader's Digest produced four live action films - Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, Mister Quilp and It Shouldn't Happen To A Vat, plus a couple of sub-Disney cartoon shorts.

We have a travelling waxwork museum!

WINDSOR DAVIES. lovely pair of shoulders boy show them off show them off

Dick Swiveller ending up getting married to a 12-year-old girl, you probably wouldn't do that now, you'd write around it.

It didn't take off.

Song: The Sport of Kings

I spoke too soon, I see amusing circus folk played by David Battley and Ronald Lacey.

Song: Somewhere Somewhere but this time sung sadly by Michael Hordern

We're up to chapter 13 (Nell and grandfather doing a midnight flit).

The book has 73 chapters.

Song: Somewhere Somewhere

PETER DUNCAN

Song: Happiness Pie (additional serving)

Song: not sure of the title but it's about the jolly life of a lawyer

And he's singing!

David Warner!!!

I think we might not be getting the amusing circus folk and travelling waxwork museum in this adaptation.

With a smidgen of Harry Secombe, which is enough Harry Secombe for anyone.

Anthony Newley is playing Quilp as a cross between Keith Moon and Rigsby from Rising Damp.

It's taken 18 minutes to do the first chapter of the book. They're gonna have to speed up!

Song: I'm Quilp

Phil Davis!
