[@mytube5090able]

I like it nice to see all those great stars, sad sometimes quite a few not with us anymore.:-(

[@benjaminclasper9355]

I’ve always liked Shane Briant’s performances in hammer films and also he appeared in a 1978 bbc tv series “touch and go” and there’s an episode, episode 3 is available on KZbin And he has a charm and a bit of a humorous dark dry acting style to him in his film and television roles It’s like he has a particularly dry sense of humour in somethings I’ve seen him in And I like how he goes from that side of his character to a more psychotic twisted neurotic manipulative acting way in straight on till morning (1972) He has a super charm about his acting.

Edward De Souza appeared in several episodes of the Saint too.! Legrnd.!

[@JohnNeilPark]

These two guys were a treat to talk to. Real gents!

[@2msvalkyrie529]

These guys represent a while generation of actors who just cannot be replaced by any of the current crop - in ability or technique . And there were so many others - Andrew Keir / Michael Gough / Conrad Phillips etc . It's good to know that you are looking out for them .!

[@davidfrost2819]

Is there going too be another convention? If there is I would love to be there, Hammer films are not only the best whether they be horror or comedies but they had some of the greatest actors actress's and directors of all time in their films

These events are held regularly David. Just do a search for Westminster film fair or convention.

Nice to see Robert Tayman is still in the land of the living, though he looks a bit grumpy.

[@tinaholman956]

He sure was HOT in his day!

[@Njbear7453]

Was he count karnstein?

[@andrewwebb4919]

@@Njbear7453 No, he was Count Mitterhaus in Vampire Circus, Count Karnstein was Damien Thomas who is still around and who is a very nice chap.

Oh muy god!!!. I can't recognize Verónica Carlson And Bárbara Shelley. The time is so terrible.....

[@waynej2608]

They were my two favorite actresses. I had a boyhood crush on both, esp Veronica. And, I'm from 'the states'. They were gorgeous women. Yeah, we all get older, it's just how it is. I would've loved to have met them at this convention. Christopher Lee and Cushing, as well. Long live Hammer! 👍

[@danw1374]

Veronica sadly gone now RIP

[@rexel666]
