Apparently there is some play or film now about Orson Welles in Britain with Robbie Coltrane as Orson. It touches on his time at Anglia TV but shows in the OWGM show that he is in an armchair by the fire (like Tales of the Unexpected) which I don't think is quite accurate...I seem to remember him presenting in the fog LOL

I'd give a link but 'Mr.Magister', or whoever it is has banned me from either contributing to the site, or reading any of its content for 45 years. (Cue Orson Welles Great Mysteries theme). Speaking of which, here's the intro: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kMNNUUt9YA |

Speaking of cancel-culture, it seems that series 1 of The Orson Welles Mysteries is now out of print.
