My turn then, I believe.

Who played Percy in the adult comedy of the same name?

Re: Brit General Cinema Quiz.

Clarification....Percy was not the name of the main character, only a certain part of his anatomy, but the film title is still Percy.

That was Hywel Bennett and "Percy" was his, er, appendage! The Kinks did the OST.

OK, which British war film of the 60s started as a theatre production in Stratford, east London?

I know 'The Long and the Short and the Tall' began life as a play, but not sure if you mean that one.

I liked the realism of TLTSTT. One of my fave war films.

Yep! Started at my local theatre!

Also, Five Guys Named Moe and the recent theatrical production of The Harder They Come!

My last visit there was to see the Who's Tommy, where some of the cast were disabled, some even actually deaf! It was brilliant!!!

Not as much as I would like to as it's not cheap! Coincidentally, though, I went to The Old Vic last night, to see A Christmas Carol (yes, I know, that was weeks ago lol!). The only actor I knew was Stephen Tompkinson, who was in Drop The Dead Donkey. It was... AMAZING!!!

My all time Chrissie film.. never miss it. Alistair Sim is my fave Scrooge.

I meant I used to do stage/theatre work in my youth.
