I was on the James Whale show back in 92. We were promoting a play called House of Dracula and the week before Julian Clairy walked out offended by James. At the time on the show my makeup was like an Egyptian emperor/God whatever, and James said to me during the ads that Julian had walked off the week before. After the break James sat next to me saying to camera "look everyone Julian's back after saying he would never ever come back on my show." I was a background guest and a budding actor at the time but froze up when live TV came back on. Who knows now looking back maybe that was my big opportunity to do a Clairy impression...alas my acting career came to naught much after. The main guest that night was Gary Glitter and look what happened there😱

[@Juls27989]

We all know its part of the show for James to play up to the camera's playing the rude obnoxious character, but this man was invited onto his show and even if James didn't believe a word he said he should have given his guest a chance all the way through to explain what he believed to be true, even if at the end he said to the guest I just don't believe this. I like James not that he cares less if people like him or not, but he has to let people talk and stay to the end, unless otherwise whats the point.

One afternoon when I finished school, I noticed that instead of going home the kids were standing in a crowd and I saw they were watching an object hovering above the perimeter of the school grounds. it was a mettalic disc shape and the only feature on it was a row of lights moving from left to right along its enter line, it was a nice sunny afternoon so I don't know if they were lights and although the object was metallic. Looking there was no noise from it. A balloon or a helicopter never keep letfe tly still when they hover but the disc was as if it was fixed in the air, it never moved the tiniest fraction. After a few minutes it suddenly flew away, in those days no one carried cameras but if I had taken photos sceptics would have said they were fake even though they wouldn't have been. I was amazed to see something people say doesn't exist and after all these decades I still often think about it.
