My latest project ‘THE BODY NEXT DOOR’ will be broadcast on Sky Documentaries on August 25.
A 3 part true crime series, it tells the incredible story of a shocking murder in a small Welsh town, which unveils a dark family secret on the other side of the globe.
An incredible moment in music history as in 1970 ELTON JOHN takes out a crumpled piece of paper and plays TINY DANCER for the first time in front of his lyricist BERNIE TAUPIN, along with his wife MAXINE, who he wrote the song for.
54 years ago today THE BEATLES hit the top of the charts with GET BACK.
This is the incredible moment in the recording studio when PAUL MCCARTNEY almost conjured the song out of thin air.
60 years ago today DR NO premiered in the USA, kicking off the Bond franchise in style and reshaping pop culture for decades to come.
Here’s the original teaser trailer which would have been the first time audiences saw SEAN CONNERY as Bond and heard the iconic theme.
CHARLIE CHAPLIN was born 134 years ago today.
In 1952 he was denied entry into the USA and wrongly accused of being a communist.
This is the emotional moment in 1972 when he returns for the first time to accept an honorary Academy Award.
@THR
Maybe writers are sick of spending months/years writing original treatments for no money and then spending a huge amount of money on pitch presentations and sizzle reels to only be discarded for a constant stream of crap.
‘Who in the hell ever said I gotta like you?’
At the 1987 Tony Awards JAMES EARL JONES performs a scene from the award winning play FENCES.
This is as good as it gets. A master at the height of his craft.
In 1985, after a famous classical pianist dropped out of appearing on THE TONIGHT SHOW at the last minute JOHNNY CARSON invited a member of the audience to take their place.
Up stepped an unknown DAVID TOLLEY…🤯
Three time Oscar winner JACK NICHOLSON celebrates his 86th birthday today 🥳🎂

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK premiered 43 years ago today.
Here’s some wonderful behind the scenes footage as HARRISON FORD and STEVEN SPIELBERG celebrate the end of the shoot.
@RachelReevesMP
He helped ‘steer’ Wales into the gutter. NHS, education and living standards are on the floor. I hope your administration don’t aim to follow his example.
@Keir_Starmer
He has achieved nothing of note and has taken Wales backwards. NHS, education and living standards for many are on the floor. If these are the key policies of any Labour leader then he has failed miserably.
Two time Oscar winner RUSSELL CROWE celebrates his 59th birthday today 🎂🥳
Here is some behind the scenes footage of him preparing to shoot a scene with a real tiger in…
…GLADIATOR (2000)
93 years ago today the BBC announced during its scheduled news bulletin that there was no news to report so it would instead play some music.
Pretty sure most of us would welcome this!

…and getting a handshake from DAVID LYNCH.

It’s hard to imagine HARRISON FORD not as the lead but here’s TOM SELLECK’s screen test which saw him originally get the part.

Here is a fantastic sketch as PAUL SHAFFER looks for him on some of the most iconic sitcom sets of the 90s…
…only to find him on SEINFELD.
Sadly my old account is no more so I will now be tweeting full time from here.
Thank you for continuing to follow me for more blasts from the past and legends from the silver screen.
One of the greatest actors of all time, AL PACINO celebrates his 83rd birthday today🎂🥳
Strap yourself in for a thread of his most iconic (and funniest) moments. Cherish him while we have him, we won’t see his like again.
‘We just don’t realise the most significant moments of our lives while they’re happening. I thought there would be other days. I didn’t realise that was the only day.’
FIELD OF DREAMS was released 34 years ago today.
The older I get the more I understand just how true this is.
The brilliant DON RICKLES was born 97 years ago today.
While renowned as the king of the celebrity roast he also provided the voice to MR POTATO HEAD in TOY STORY (1995).
Here’s some behind the scenes footage of him recording his lines.
@GNev2
Very clever media management. Turn their eyes onto another issue and not the lack of discipline that cost Spurs the game. Straight from the SAF playbook.
The freeze frame to end PLANES TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES (1987) is one of the most astonishing pieces of acting in film.
To pull the whole film together, JOHN CANDY has a split second to convey looking happy, sad and hopeful in a single look. He nails it.
RIP HARRY BELAFONTE (1927-1923) 💔
Here he is at the recording session for WE ARE THE WORLD (1985), as his fellow superstars sing his iconic BANANA BOAT SONG to him.
@DannyDrinksWine
Kubrick called this ‘non submersible units.’ He thought a film should be made of 6-8 bold visuals. When you think of a Kubrick film they’re almost like dreams. The first thing that usually comes to mind is something visual rather than plot or dialogue.
THE FIFTH ELEMENT was released 26 years ago today…
…and gave us CHRIS TUCKER’S unforgettable performance as Ruby Rhod!
At the time of release this seemed an outlandish character from the future…

…and things got emotional.
The brand new trailer for STILL: A MICHAEL J FOX MOVIE…
…which tells of his journey to become one of the most loved movie stars of his generation…
…and then his courageous battle with Parkinson’s disease.
Out May 12 on Apple TV +
‘The little things are the things I miss the most.’
GOOD WILL HUNTING (1997)
ROBIN WILLIAMS improvised most of his lines in this scene. When MATT DAMON laughs it’s a genuine reaction. You can ever see the camera shake as the camera man can’t help laughing as well.
@stusfootyflash
Still hurts this one. I’m sure it must haunt Bodin. That was a cracking Welsh team that had a great chance of doing well at the World Cup. It took us years to recover.
Comedy legend SPIKE MILLIGAN was born 105 years ago today.
Here is his incredible 1994 acceptance speech at the British Comedy Awards, where no one is safe…
…not even the future King.
