"Broadsword calling Danny Boy"

This evening's viewing distraction: going old school with Where Eagles Dare. Haven't watched this in years, but cropped up on BBC iPlayer, so an evening with Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood and not forgetting an appearance by Hammer Queen, Ingrid Pitt (who I once had the pleasure of hosting for a book launch) too.

"No one would have believed in the middle years of the twentieth century that this city was being watched ..."

These rather alien-looking mid-20th Century water towers in Garthamlock in the east of Glasgow always remind me of the opening lines from the War of the Worlds (and for obvious reasons, I always hear them said in the voice of Richard Burton!).
