Private Henry Hook

[Captain Blood]

Got to be in every military history buff's top 20 films, it's certainly in mine.

It's in my top 1 

Surely the standout role of James Booth's career, and one of the (many) main ingredients in making the movie so utterly brilliant - historically accurate or not.

I remember seeing him playing some ne'er-do-well in an episode of 'The Bill' a few years ago, shortly before he died.
Maybe he knew it was his farewell performance, because he looked pretty ragged poor chap - quite an old man.
But he had a brilliant scene in a cubicle in the Sun Hill WC, where he knocks the top off a bottle of booze and necks the whole thing - exactly as he did in that iconic scene in Zulu. It was only at that point I realised it was him. It was a blatant, out-and-out reference to the movie. Whether 'The Bill's' producers knew it or not, or whether they just indulged an old actor on his last legs, I guess we'll never know... But it was a wonderful moment. Sent a shiver down my spine.

Well, I was going to ask if there was a Color Sergent fig too. He's my 2nd fav character in the movie, after Hook of course!
Got any pix of the sarge painted? "There's a good Gentleman."
