Charles , your correct the story was originally told on This Is Your Life . I have'nt seen the episode but learned of it from Mr Lees interview with Wayne Kinsey in issue 16 of his excellent The House That Hammer Built magazine .It's a special edition devoted to Christopher Lee and containing a very informative interview .
WK.. Is it true you used to give Oliver Reed and Denis Shaw a lift to the studios whilst making " The Pirates Of Blood River" ?
CL..Yes I used to give them a lift everyday. Oliver sat in the back seat thin , nervous and worried ,muttering about leaving the industry and how he was'nt cut out to be an actor .
Then Mr Lee goes on to explain about This Is Your Life and how Oliver related the story and joked that he had been charged for petrol ( which , of course , was not the case )
ps , you've no idea how many magazines I went through before finding the above info, I must get them indexed .
