I added another film to my collection yesterday. It's a film from the 60's. In it a familiar face popped up.
Can you guess who it is?

Gordon Banks.
Just because you don't take an interest in politics doesn't mean that politics won't take an interest in you. PERICLES.

I'll put you out of your misery. The film in question is the War Game, partly shot in Dover and banned by the BBC for years.
The lady is none other than Kathy Staff aka Nora Batty!
And now a still from the film just for Vic.
Who's this portly chap escaping from the bomb blast then Vic?

I recognised Mr Dale,he was one of my teachers at Astor during the seventies,his wife also taught there.I think he retired around the time i left about 1979.The film War game was about a nucleur attack and much of it was made at the Western heights at the old barrack blocks.The film is on Youtube and well worth watching,i think it was made around the mid sixties just before the buildings were demolished.
