Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Mar. 22 2011, 20:32 I don't remember whether this has been discussed before, but have a look at the official video for "Blue Peter": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss42o6C--Hc I think that the main male cast of this video is very easy to list: Mike Oldfield, Mike Oldfield, Mike Oldfield and... Mike Oldfield. I mean, it really looks like Mike is playing all four main male roles, and he's playing the director with the megaphone as well. I think that the only place where 4 different people are playing the roles is at the very end, shortly before the real Mike pulls the needle off the record. What do you think? -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

How many Mikes do you think are there? @ hastengas: before buying the Elements DVD, I didn't even know that a video existed for that tune. Now it's one of my Oldfield video favs (my all-time Oldfield fav video, unfortunately, isn't on the DVD). -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

How many Mikes do you think are there? It was probably, Milamber - he likes Lord Flashheart too   Are you talking about the "My hovercraft is full of eels" as well? Fish seem to be cropping up lately - with basses, eels, and, of course, your future mullet   I didn't count the Mikes; but I imagine the gag would have been to have him play everyone (except the pooch of course).

Whenever a hovercraft pops up anywhere in a YouTube video, someone always shoots out that comment. About "Blue Peter", my original point in this topic was precisely that one, i.e. Mike is really playing all males in the video, including the director with the megaphone. It must have been pretty laborious to make. EDIT: I was about to ask you who Lord Flashheart is, but Wikipedia told me. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
