    Best version of Scrooge

    I always liked the old Alistair Sim black and white version best. Can't abide that turkey starring Richard E Grant.

    I have now revised my opinion. Saw the Albert Finney musical version earlier. Marvellous production. Really warmed the cockles of my heart it did.

    I rather enjoyed the version starring Captain Baldy.

    There's a nice line in it about British beef.

      I remember seeing Wilfrid Bramble as scrooge in a production at Swansea Grand theatre many years ago.

      It was rather good.

            Oddly enough for me was at Bolton's Octagon Theatre, 2004 ish, obviously stage performance, not film, was really good, small theatre, my home town despite being a tuliphole now, still does some good stage-worthy stuff..

              Goodness me, I didn't know that Wilfrid Brambell was accused of being a kiddie fiddler.

              Were they all at it?

                My mrs still reckons Jools Holland is next. I'm not sure but he wouldn't be first choice as babysitter for me. Possibly after Pete Townsend but before Jimmy Savile, if alive.
