Cleopatra

Roger Bunce

Apparently, this L.P. was sold on eBay last week, for £24. Do eBay pay royalties?

Graeme Wall

Only if they play it!

Cleopatra

A radio portrait of the Queen of Egypt (69-30 RC),
created by ROGER BUNCE from the writings of the Greek and Roman historians.
Music specially composed and conducted by CHRISTOS PITTAS



Some people seem to know about this (Gary Critcher and David Brunt for example) – but many who know nothing of this mysterious scriptwriter Roger Bunce!!  Could it be a TV cameraman succumbing to the lure of words without pictures? 

“…A one-time playwright in 1979…”

Nick Ware

So was it “our” Roger Bunce or not? I don’t trust those radio lot – there was another Nick Ware working in BBC radio, a producer, I think. I occasionally used to get his payslips, and his were a lot more than mine. And as if that wasn’t enough, there was also Peter Ware (as you all know): same thing, I sometimes got his! In that particular case, I think my middle initial ‘P’ was the spanner in the works. Ware isn’t that common a surname, but I’ve always been immensely proud of my ancestor Armitage Ware, who was best known for loitering in the toilet!

Mike Giles

Not forgetting Hard Ware, of course!

You forgot to mention that IMDB also lists me as ‘Art Department’!
