Topic: Ivor Roberts (actor)


  
  Amazon.ca: Editorial Reviews DVD: Without a Clue   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Thus lays the groundwork for a delicious setup in which the true genius (Kingsley's John Watson) must cleverly feed the puppet genius enough information to "solve" the crimes, all while himself playing the humiliating role of doting protégé.
Half the time he's half sloshed, and his skirt-chasing barely escapes notice, but because the myth of Holmes is so great, the actor realizes he can have fun with the part without getting fired.
In desperation, Watson hires a seedy provincial actor (Michael Caine) to pose as Holmes.

 Ivor Roberts
Born in Nottingham in 1925, Roberts was the son of a Welshman who had performed a trapeze act before the First World War and then worked as a tram driver and a cloth dyer, creating and selling the formula to stop sandbags from rotting.
On television, Roberts also guest-starred in The Bill (1993) and Touching Evil (1997), and provided the voice of Jesse in David and Saul, from the series Testament: the Bible in animation (1996).
Ivor's final television role in Peak Practice (1999) was screened after his death.

It seems Ivor was always this suited to diplomatic office, as a contemporary of his at Oxford in the late 1960s is on to reminisce about the van he used to drive around the city - a vehicle he interestingly christened his "fuck-truck".
In fact, they go way back, having met through the university newspaper Cherwell, when Denis was still writing pieces under his own name instead of bullying people like Lord Ahmed to submit them under theirs (you'll recall the saga of his attempts to place pro-war columns all over the place).
We also learn that Ivor was once a promising actor, but those skills seem to have rusted somewhat, to judge by his distinctly unconvincing "these aren't my personal views" statement.

Natasha and Ivor have boarded in Southampton while Turai, Gal and Adam are expected to join them the next night when the ship docks in Cherbourg.
Unbeknownst to Ivor and Natasha, the playwrights and composer have actually boarded in Southampton and plan to surprise Natasha by serenading her on the deck beneath her cabin balcony with a romantic new love song written by Adam.
And as the arrogant Ivor, the rubber faced Tony Roberts is a scream to watch particularly when he squirms uncomfortably in silence.

 Lynette Roberts
During an interval in their commercial life, Roberts and Buckmaster sailed by cargo boat to Madeira, an island known to Roberts -- "For the British born in Argentina there are many voyages" -- as a port of call.
Roberts then was an informed but as yet unformed poet when, breaking off her engagement to a self-styled model for James Bond, she met the Welsh poet and editor William Ronald Rees Jones at a Poetry London event organised by Tambimuttu in 1939.
Roberts, of course, has personal experience both of voyages and of exotic fauna, and of the strangeness of encounters with people whose thought processes are alien.

Frost was convincing as the unfortunate Sir Roger Ackroyd and stoutly upheld the stage tradition he has by now well established of appearing in a beard and departing in a hearse.
Roberts and B. Clayton dealt capably with the lengthy but relatively unrewarding parts of the Secretary and Major Blunt, patiently with-drawing themselves from undue attention but taking their chances as suspicion fell upon each of them in turn, while P. Tear’s dogged Police Inspector effectively underlined, by contrast, the intuitive brilliance of Poirot.
It was a difficult play in many ways, all but the last ten minutes set in a court room, with a minimum of stage movement, except by the two briefs, and the various characters taking the witness stand.

The doctor's prescription: hire a two-bit, drunken, skirt-chasing actor (Caine) to portray the Great Detective, an arrangement that causes Watson consternation whenever "Holmes" tries to improvise his way through a case.
Michael Caine plays the role of a down-on-his luck actor who is hired by Dr. Watson (Ben Kingsley) to play the role of the greatest Detective the world has ever seen (Sherlock Holmes).
This is a wonderful, literate satire of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries, in which Watson is the actual great detective and Holmes an unemployed ham actor.

Its name was rarely spoken on air (if the announcers could help it), but was heard during the infrequent joint continuity on Sunday mornings, and in the run up to the closure of TWW in 1968.
The rounded tones of character actor and then-chief announcer of TWW list for us the pleasant-sounding Welsh transmitters of Teledu Cymru after the TWW take over and the coming on-stream of the south Wales transmitter for the service.
But then we would never have heard Ivor Roberts making such a lyrical announcement - and not as rushed as his TWW one.
