Sometimes simple questions leads to long inquiries, even at breakfast. A scene with Michael Hordern and Ambrose Coghill from "Whistle and I'll Come to You" (1968), an episode of the Omnibus series.
@RatherCrunchyMuffin I know that the way the character is played, we're supposed to roll our eyes at his pretension or bombast, but there's scarcely a word he says that I'd disagree with. Except maybe the facile and rather meaningless final quip.
Glorious performance, though, and a hell of a spooky film.
Brilliant characterisation, I love watching this bit over and over, the lecture through a munching English breakfast is strangley delightful. Can you imagine such a production now? With one second attention span and a alergic reaction to anything wordy or middle class it just would not get made.
