I'll tell you what I'm reading at the moment.

Well, I'm listening to it as an audio book, so long-time listeners of the podcast will know that means it has to be a celebrity memoir because that's the only audio books that I listen to.

I think it's a good policy, by the way.

It's Vagabond by Tim Curry.

Now, I, again, I know I've gone on about this before, so I'll try to not labour it too much.

I think...

Tim Curry's entrance in the Rocky Horror Show is the greatest single entrance in film history.

It is... Massive call.

It is so spectacular.

I feel like when you – I reckon I've probably watched it a hundred times and every single time the first hint of him is his foot in an elevator tapping to the song.

And I start giggling from the second that he appears and then the whole song, he's singing the song Sweet Transvestite, it's so studded with –

Amazing little Easter eggs.

There's got to be dozens of moments of just an eyebrow raise or a hair toss or a particular leg cross or facial expression to the camera.

There's so many of them.

Like you just are guffawing when you're watching it, but also you're like plastered back in your seat at this person's outrageous charisma and energy.

And the film, I mean, I like all of the songs in Rocky Horror, but I really do think the film falls off a cliff after he exits having sung that song because he comes into the lift, sings the song and then does, I'll remove the cause, but not the symptoms, and then disappears again immediately.

Yeah.

It's kind of like it falls off a cliff because nothing – it's so electrifying that nothing can kind of compare.

Anyway, so I – and I've liked him in other things I've seen him in as well, you know.

He's – somebody uses the word – I was watching an interview with him once and someone used the word seductive to describe him.
