[Boys 9d]

A biopic (The Keeper) about his struggle for acceptance in post war Britain. On BBC2 at 10pm.

Thanks for the heads up on this, he was quite a man and an amazing story. Will prime my skybox to record.

Sounds good, hopefully I've got a blank tape ready to go.

Reasonably okay film about him came out last year, very enjoyable.

Edit - just read the BBC 2 write up, it is in fact the film I referred to.

Blank tape? how very high tech of you.

Presumably the very same blank tape that the great Bert himself would have used? (well nearly).

Very good, l'll keep supplying the material, you keep up with the gags.

Watched this last year during Lockdown on Sky Movies, I thought it was excellent personally

Haven't seen this so looking forward to it

I always use videoplus as it takes out all the risk of wrong date, wrong time etc

Thanks for that. My next door neighbour played for Man City in the famous Trautmann cup final. Bill Leivers.

I watched this last year, very enjoyable seeing the history I've read about acted out. Plenty of nuggets involved that enhanced the story from what I had previously heard

Fantastic - what were his thoughts re Trautmann (if you get chance to ask).

I read a biography and he did highlight that his first wife was quite nasty, (constantly reminding him of his background and upbringing) which doesn’t come across in the film.

Will try to have a word with him, but I'd better watch the movie first - he does tend to ramble, so I need to be able to ask sensible questions!

This doesn't seem to be on iPlayer or am I missing something?

Just bumped into his grandson, and mentioned the film. Apparently, Bill was "fuming" because there was nothing about him in it! Maybe I'll approach his son next!
