Off-menu: The Mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau

And now for something completely different!
This won't be something you'll see on ЯR but for supporters like you, here is a mini documentary I co-produced about the mystery of French village Rennes-le-Chateau, back in 2001. Talk about retro! I just remastered this and uploaded it today. Originally an exclusive special feature on the Blu-Ray of the Terence Stamp movie "Revelation", it is presented by Rev Lionel Fanthorpe and co-produced by Romulus Films; part of the Hammer Horror family.
I was co-writer and co-videographer on the documentary, travelling to southern France to shoot the footage and explore the mystery first hand. This version features my original theme tune "Legend Raiders", written for the project. You might have heard it in a couple of ЯR videos whenever I need something Indiana Jonesy! I was also proud to be James D'Arcy's Double in the movie itself.
You might spot bits of me in this documentary at 1:16 & 12:33 ;-)

2020-06-08 17:52:41 +0000 UTCThanks Would you believe my late father was a Freemason? I often asked him if there was more to it. He was master of his lodge in London. But he always said no, it's just a gentleman's club where like minded men come to chat about interesting things... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Here in LA I keep being invited by a certain gentleman to come as his guest to their lodge. I do wonder what I might discover if I joined... 🤔

2020-06-07 17:24:11 +0000 UTCFascinating subject this, delved into it a few years back, realising how well Broken Sword had been researched. There is a fascinating talk by Christopher Knight on the history of the Freemasons, OK it as 1997 so some of it may not hold up today, but well worth checking out if you have a few hours to spare =)
