The Batcave won't be the same without you.

That's sad.

RIP. Alfred.

Here's an obscure Alfred Pennyworth fact to impress your friends with. Alan Napier, who play Alfred in the 60's T.V series was married to Aileen Dickens Hawklsey, who was the great granddaughter of Charles Dickens. I love useless facts like that !!

Thanks!

Here's another. Burt Ward released a single called "Boy Wonder I Love You" which was written by Frank Zappa !!

Bet it wasn't as good as 'The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins'.


Favourite Film/TV Alfred?

Alan Napier, Michael Gough or Maurice Micklewhite?

Not that struck with M.M as Alfred. Although I did like M.G in the role I have to go with A.N as I grew up with him as the faithful manservant.

Michael Gough for me. Though I did love Alan Napier. Especially when he dressed up as Batman so Bruce Wayne could appear at the same time...

Classic !! Have they ever released the whole series on DVD ?? I would have to get it.

No. It's tied up in legal issues and ownership rights from hell I believe. You can get the movie but not the series...

Shame.

Sad news indeed.

Aye. It would be nice to watch it again sometime. It is repeated on ITV 4 though.

I'm watching an episode at this moment !!! I'm confused though. How come they can be rerun on T.V ? Surely the same legal obsticles apply ? Actors, owners of rights and writers must get something from the repeats, so why can't they get their cut from DVD releases ??

Haven't a clue.
