There was, in that initial run of SCARS OF DRACULA from Anchor Bay, a bonus disc that had a video visit with Christopher Lee (shot in his home, I believe). As Lee looked back on his life and career, he mentions "Peter" and goes on to add that he doesn't even have to say the last name. (Everyone watching the video would know.) He also discusses the last time the two men got together and that, when Cushing left his house and waved goodbye, Lee knew it was the last time he would see him.

Well, he didn't say "went down to his house," because he didn't.

If you think two old friends sharing a few minutes of laughter watching cartoons is somehow demeaning or patronizing, my sympathies to you. Those two fellows would not have seen each other had they not had this opportunity to work together. Christopher Lee has said as much. He would not have emotionally been able to travel to Whitstable to say goodbye. Working together one last time was a viable option. I like the BBC show, too, although it is what it is: a chance to use free clips from the film library the BBC held in license at the time to illustrate the Hammer story. In that regard, it is as "cynical" as F & B: using what footage you have to create something new. Would that they, or I, would have had a couple million dollars for unlimited film clips and interviews. Sorry you don't like it, but the new version is... much prettier. Sounds nicer, too.

Johnny wrote:the reporting of this very private moment by outsiders for fans to indulge in (ahh, look at the poor old dear close to death enjoying cartoons with a friend, isn't it magical?) is deeply patronising and certainly would have been met with a rebuff if countenanced by either Cushing or Lee during their prime years.
