Gabrielle Drake video festival

I have had the good fortune to recieve a lot package from a friend
oversea who sent me three tapes with different things Gabrielle appears in.
One tape has All About A Prima Ballerina , The Code of the Mulliners,
one of the episode of Crosswits she did and the ad she did with John Cleese
for the British Telecom Talking Yellow Pages. The second tape has The movie The
Steal and the British version of Cry Terror which was shown over here as
Kill Two Birds. The last tape has the film The Man Outside, the BBC documentary
A Stranger Among Us about her brother Nick Drake and just a small part of her
first episode of Crossroads.
So I am a happy fan.

Happy Birthday Christian!

Sounds great, James! Nice inspiration, maybe I should do a Gabrielle-
Drake-Weekend? :-) I could watch AU PAIR GIRLS and CROSSPLOT and the
episodes of THE PROFESSIONALS and THE AVENGERS with her in it. Yep!

> Happy Birthday Christian!

Thanks, James!
Enjoy your tapes!

No tape of Au Pair Girls? She was great in that.

Nick Drake is Gabrielle's more famous brother! A folk/rock
songwriter who produced some of the most inspired music of the
1970s. Sadly he committed suicide 29 years ago, before his music
enjoyed anything like the acclaim which it does today.

A CD compiled as an introduction to his music, 'Way To Blue' has
just been remastered and is due to be rereleased any time now.

Don't worry Scott, I have a tape of Au Pair Girls. Well actually I have two.
I've got one which I had since 1990 and another one which a friend taped off
of Bravo in Canada a few years ago which might be a few second longer that
the first one which was made off of U.S. cable. I also have her in There a Girl
in My Soup, Connecting Rooms and Commuter Husbands. She displays fine form
in all of them<veg>!

Dave,
Don't mind the comments of Mr. Gibbon. Gabrielle is more famous to
most people than her late brother Nick to most of the people in the world unless
you are a diehard music fan. The fact that you had not heard of him proves
it.

Check out the above for additional info to the one JG gave you.

So is your trolling for fights in so obvious ways.

Have you got The Inspector Lynley Mysteries? Not that she's displaying much
of her form in that of course.

Oh please, Jimmy. I don't intend to rise to your juvenile
bait. You made a transparently absurd remark, and I pointed
that out.

I thought that my friend who sent me the tapes had said that he was going to
include it in with this lot. But it didn't come so I will have to wait till
later to see this latest appearance of Gabrielle's.

You can get copies of Gabrielle's films Commuter Husbands, and Suburban Wives
from the following site:

<A HREF="http://www.revengeismydestiny.com/BritishSexFilm.html">http://www.revengeismydestiny.com/BritishSexFilm.html</A>

You'll also find a couple with other UFO actors in them like Anouska Hempel
in Tiffany Jones and Harry Baird in Cool It Carol.

You might find a copy of There is a Girl in My Soup in the Comedy section of
any tape store. Getting to see Connecting Rooms is a bit more difficult. The
best thing to do is go to the TCM(Turner Classic Movies) website if you get
that channel on your cable system and use their request a movie option at the
top of the page to ask for it.

Hope this helps.

Thanks to both James for the input.

I believe J (Sumiton) is a personal friend of Gabrielle, what a thing
for her to go through.... her brother doing that. What a state of mind it
takes for someone to do that.
My heart goes out to her, even if it is 29 years too late....and to Nick
too, for having deemed it necessary.

Never seen Gabrielle in anything but UFO. Didn't know most of the actors
had extensive careers outside. But since watching this list, I keep getting
curioser about her movies. One of these days I'll check the IMDB and hit the
video stores and see if I can find any of her stuff here in the US.
