Pride Month is Coming!

Ten Minutes of Mr. Humphries Being a Gay Icon of the 70s

R.I.P. John Inman

[ewanspence]

In my ‘five podcast episodes you should consider listening to’ I talked about the joy of finding and listening to podcasts that help me explore new areas. I’m working through a backlog of episodes - I think everyone has a backlog of podcast episodes that they need to listen to  - and I want to highlight my latest 'Sewers of Paris' episode.

'Sewers of Paris' talks about "the books, movies, tv, music and more that have changed the lives of gay men." Each week, a guest plucks a piece of entertainment from their past, and answers the question: how did it change your life?

Host Matt Baume’s interview with Professor Paul Baker touches on Polari, Are You Being Served, and Section 28 as the headline beats; but there’s a lot of camp, sitcoms, drag, and a dash of Diana Rigg.

You can listen to the episode here, and follow Sewers of Paris here.

There's a weird little dude living with me now & I want the world to witness him

Are You Being Served? (28 Mar, 1974) unisex or bisexual?

The Stalls of Barchester (Lawrence Gordon Clark, 1971)

“James had a genius for imbuing objects from the past with implacable malignity. The bronze whistle in “Whistle and I’ll Come to You”, the Saxon Crown in “A Warning to the Curious”, the Mappa Mundi in “Mr. Humphry’s Inheritance” and so on. Hitchcock claimed that his “Macguffin” could be anything or nothing so long as people were prepared to kill for it, and perhaps that’s why some of his films are compelling but ultimately empty constructs. James’ objects are truly frightening because they resonate with our deepest and oldest fears about what lurks in the darkness outside the comfort and light of the tribal campfire. A whistle blown could summon who knows what fears, or perhaps a terrifying storm, a crown buried in a coastal barrow was a sacred guardian against invasion and to remove it earns the ultimate punishment, and when Haynes sits in the Archdeacon’s throne in the choir stalls for the first time he puts his hand on the carved figure of a crouching cat that adorns his armrest, and his fate is sealed.” — Lawrence Gordon Clark, quoted in Yuletide Terror: Christmas Horror on Film and Television (2017), edited by Kier-La Janisse.

Not sure if I saw every single one, but it was on every weeknight on PBS for years, I saw a LOT. And then there was the sequel where they go live in the country.

I'm so emotional about the Ghosts finale/xmas special guys.

Button House not only restored to all its glory, but FULL of people. Full of televisions, music, conversations to spy on, audiobooks, people to watch. An endless stream of entertainment and company for the ghosts. So much LIFE for them to witness.

And people are going to die there, you just know it. So there will be new ghosts, potentially, for them to meet and get to know.

Kitty joining in the sing-a-longs in the on-site nursery and dancing at 50th wedding anniversaries, discos and kids parties.

Robin getting to do his zumba classes and hang out with the lads on stag-dos, tagging along on pheasant shoots and playing giant chess with Julian in the garden.

Julian having real life golfers to follow around, not to mention the hen parties and dirty weekends (cheeky!). Also, his family might visit, or a party conference!

Fanny meeting all the dogs people bring along, attending all the big events and rating the decorations and the outfits like Joan Rivers with The Captain. Seeing female CEOs and innovators treat themselves to a weekend of pampering and being glad that they get to be independent and clever as she never got to be.

Pat seeing the successive generations of boys running riot in the grounds while their parents are on the course/in the spa. Watching them build camps and play soldiers - his family visiting the hotel for their milestones, even little Pat's wedding.

Thomas watching the night receptionist work on his novel, being there for the launch when it gets published. Watching the soap operas of other people's love affairs and developing crushes and head-canons for the staff.

The Captain attending staff briefings and chasing the manager around so he can give orders and see people follow them. Kicking it into overdrive for weddings and big events. Losing his mind when the weather man from TV comes to stay for a week and chokes on a piece of steak.

Humphry's head balanced on the reception desk so he can do his 'Mr Cheese' roleplay and keep an eye on the lobby, listening to all the staff gossip and practicing his French on foreign guests.

I know! I've just found it! Fantastic!

I've been watching a channel on youtube from a guy called Luke Humphris, and he does a lot of really amazing post-apocalyptic shorts and fantasy things, but then you find something in particular and it makes you just stop, you know?

This is such a fantastic sci-fi short. Yes, there's the cool horror of the things he sees out there, but then the last line hits and the deeper, underlying, mundane horror hits like sixteen times harder.

Also, I would watch that show.

Wait a minute: the guy in the red sweater is John Inman (Mr. Humphries from Are You Being Served?) and the fella in the blue sweater is Richard Briers from The Good Life. The others must be 1970s/80s UK actors, too - who recognizes them?

More 80′s / 90′s knitted goodness.
