Great videos, especially enjoyed seeing Ollie. Something which might cheer you up is the news that next month ITV is showing a drama about Dennis Nilsen with David Tennant in the main role – looking scarily like Nilsen and Jason Watkins as Brian Mathews who wrote the book you recommended I read. I did, though it wasn’t easy reading but I saw where you were coming from when your serial killer made his confessions. The ITV drama is called Des.
Thanks for the tip, Mary. I will be watching that for sure. I’m glad you read the book, even though it is a very hard read. As I featured in my serial, the ‘normality’ of their appalling crimes is what makes such serial killers so disturbing.
Best wishes, Pete.
It was filmed here, Annabelle. (From Wikipedia)
‘The music video was filmed in the lobby of the Marriott Hotel (now the L.A. Grand Hotel Downtown) in Los Angeles in December 2000. Directed by Spike Jonze, it features actor Christopher Walken, who trained as a dancer in musical theatre before his acting career.’
Best wishes, Pete.
Walken is so unusual to look at, I cannot think of anyone else who looks remotely like him. That made him just perfect for this video.
Best wishes, Pete.
Running naked into the night is my second fav experience 😃 – remember the time I did it on Brighton Beach (shortly after starting with Porsche), got stopped by the Feds, and nearly fired from Charles Follett. Luckily the skinny dip into the sea killed off the alcohol content in the blood before the breathalyzer and saved me getting nicked! Was in a spanking new 928S (at the time) and trying to impress a local nurse (as you do). Never saw her again after that. Ah, the pitfalls of being young and daft… 🙄😋🐾
I’ve seen that Chris Walken video countless times, but it never fails to make me smile. Such a great actor too by the way😊 The video with Ollie was fun too….that grass looked so green! Beautiful countryside! 😀
Yes, that was in May. The grass is a lot more overgrown there at the moment. The spot is close by our house. I can see the roof of it through the trees across the river when I walk there.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thank you for the great videos. Nice watching again Ollie, on one of his short journey’s. 😉 Michael
