Reminiscences.

The Police have been called in by a local hospital following the discovery that some oxygen cylinders have been tampered with. Serious matter, and I don't wish to trivialise it, but what immediately sprang to my mind on reading about it was that superb 1940's film "Green For Danger" starring Alastair Sim - surely one of the most under-rated actors this country has ever produced. He was the definitive Ebeneezer Scrooge, and who can forget him in drag as the headmistress of St. Trinian's. And then there's my particular favourite, ranking alongside "Green For Danger" as the eponymous Inspector in "An Inspector Calls". They sure broke the mould.......
