RALPH BATES INTERVIEWS:UNPUBLISHED AND UNHEARD ON THEBLACKBOXCLUB.COM RADIOSHOW THIS YEAR

THEBLACKBOXCLUB HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE TO MEET RALPH BATES TWICE. ONCE IN 1980 AND AGAIN IN 1988. ON BOTH OCCASIONS HE WAS THE MOST FRIENDLY OF GUYS AND WAS HAPPY TO TALK ON A WIDE RANGE OF SUBJECTS FROM HIS DAYS AS A YOUNG ACTOR, HIS YEARS WITH HAMMER FILMS, HIS FRIENDSHIP WITH PETER CUSHING, HIS SUCCESS ON BBC TV'S POLDARK SERIES AND THE DECLINE OF THE BRITISH FILM INDUSTRY.

ON MEETING RALPH FOR THE LAST TIME, HE WAS UPSET THAT HE HADN'T BEEN ASKED TO RECORD A BLACK BOX JINGLE...'WE'LL SET UP A MEETING TO 'DO JUST THAT!' IS THE LAST THING HE SAYS IN THE INTERVIEW...SADLY, IT NEVER HAPPENED...

FOR THE FIRST TIME THEBLACKBOXCLUB WILL BE RELEASING BOTH INTERVIEWS ON THE RADIOSHOW.

HEAR MICHAEL RIPPER ON THEBLACKBOXCLUB.COM WEBSITE

THERE IS ONE VERY GOOD BOOK AND A A FEW MAGAZINES THAT HAVE COVERED MICHAEL RIPPERS LIFE AND CAREER OVER THE YEARS. BUT THERE ARE VERY FEW EXAMPLES OF THE MAN TELLING THE STORY IN HIS OWN WORDS...AUDIO INTERVIEWS. WHICH IS WHY THEBLACKBOXCLUB WILL BE RELEASING AN INTERVIEW THAT WAS ORIGINALLY RECORDED BACK IN 1983 AND WILL BE FEATURING THE INTERVIEW IN IT'S ENTIRETY ON THE BLACK BOX CLUB RADIO SHOW. AT THIS TIME MICHAEL WAS STILL IN GOOD HEALTH AND WORKING. MICHAEL TALKS ABOUT HIS EARLY LIFE, HIS SINGING CAREER THAT WAS CRUELLY CUT SHORT AND OF COURSE, HIS APPEARANCES IN MANY OF HAMMER FILMS PRODUCTIONS.

PEARLS OF WISDOM FROM THE THREE MASTER OF TERROR ON THE BLACK BOX CLUB RADIO SHOW SOON!

FUR CLAD RAQUEL IS NUMBER ONE! A BLACKBOXCLUB.COM GALLERY

BEFORE THE BLACKBOXCLUB.COM
WEBSITE WENT OFF FOR A 'REVAMP' THIS SUMMER. WE SET YOU A QUESTION:

WHICH HAMMER FILMS ACTRESS, IN YOUR OPINION, HAS HAD THE GREATEST IMPACT
INTERNATIONALLY?

YOUR ANSWERS IN ALMOST 75% OF THE VOTE CAME BACK WITH ONE NAME:

RAQUEL WELCH! WELCH APPEARED
IN HAMMER FILMS ONE MILLION YEARS BC IN 1966. THE FILM AND HER COSTUME SET PULSES RACING..WITH HER FUR SKIN BIKINI BECOMING A POSTER ICON FOR THE NEXT
40 YEARS!

“If women in prehistoric times really looked and dressed like this,” fashion guru -Rubenstein said of the animal-skin two-piece Raquel Welch wore in 1966’s One Million Years B.C, “a lot more people today would be studying cave paintings. As fabulous as it is ludicrous, it may be film’s most famous bathing suit that never got wet.”
