Oliver Reed

[kevin04]

Probably shouldn't laugh at alcoholism, but found some great clips of Reed.

the clinking of bottles at around 0.44 secs

phpBB [video]

"I don't understand" and then at 0.37 secs "I'm not with it"

Poor guy though was he not sober before he lapsed whilst making Gladiator.

I'm a bit young too remember him, but can anyone recommend some of his best films or interviews I should watch?

Thanks

Yeah The Trap. was a good un The prince and the pauper and the three musketeers series (He played Athos) were all good

Legend.

He admitted that quite a few of those sozzled TV performances were nothing of the kind; all an act.

Try putting the subtitles on when playing the second clip. About 2:26 in he says "Joe cunt cunt." The subtitles make it even better because Olly came out with utter gobbledygook and the titles could translate the swear words properly and it looked even more hilarious.

Reed was a cunt.

Compared to some of your rather opaque and labyrinthine posts, he did indeed.

My posts invite contemplation, amusement, angst, bemusement, inspiration or indifference: sometimes a combination but never simple and transparency. My posts are an epic voyage of discovery, never black and white though, my Reg. Take my posts however you want them to be, I'm non-judgemental.

That was 'After Dark', Kevin, a great C4 programme with people sitting around chatting overnight: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/After_Dark_(TV_series)

Carlos, was it Ollie who also tried to grope and kiss a feminist co-guest when he was pished? I remember this happening but it could have been someone else.

Cheers, Carlos.

I enjoyed that episode and reading the Wiki page, it sounded quite lively. See they brought it back for a few one-offs. It's a great idea - few hours of TV, ample booze, some interesting characters and chat.

Bit like tf but without the tv booze characters and chat
