I hope he's joking when he talks about having the likes of Mr Bean doing it, I just don't want another Walt Disney Tubular Bells II production again. Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Aug. 10 2002, 18:12 That's my feeling as well. Avoiding someone who overstates his presence is what would make me wary of John Cleese, as I find he tends to come across in a rather exaggerated manner. It may well be possible to get it to work with him, but I'm not sure of Mike's skills when it comes to working with actors. Back to top

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: Aug. 16 2002, 13:17 i also agree that Patrick Stewart would be a very good choice.....can u just hear him? just picture it......"Grand Piano..."    and then at the end "Tubular Bells!" come on! Patrick Stewart all the way!! he is a star trek fan...but it looks like (to me anyway) that it will be John Cleese....oh well..that'll be cool as well....but i still think Patrick Stewart would do an excellent job ......then get Michael Dorn (Worf) to do the Piltdown man!! -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

Possibilities would include Rod Stewart or Maddy Prior (she's already worked with Mike so she might be interested). But if we're going to consider "silly" MC's there's only one real option.

qjamesfloyd Group: Members Posts: 1349 Joined: April 2001 Posted: Jan. 11 2003, 12:29 The thing about the MC parts on Tubular albums,is that although there is only one voice on the released version's,Mike does used various other people to speak the parts aswell,like Billy Conelly etc,so i wonder if Mike has recorded anyone else apart from John Cleese!!.
