Back again

Wow, again a long time between drinks or blog posts. This time the excuse is our building renovations, even now I'm crouched over the PC which is set up backwards on the desk return while the carpet guy is measuring out for the skirting boards behind me.

What do I have to blog about - well, the death of one of Britain's great actors Edward Woodward. Loved him playing those enigmatic, flawed characters - Callan, The Equaliser, and Kyle in 1990, also as Howie in The Wicker Man.
And most especially as Breaker Morant. A great story, great acting and a great location, was in Burra before they filmed there, and below is the jail as featured in the film - they chopped down the tree when they did the actual shooting.


Must pull out my copy of Breaker Morant to watch it again, or see if I can source episodes of 1990.
