My late father, an horologist, sold one of his lathes to Michael Gambon, who had trained as a gunsmith before he became an actor. I was there when MG came to collect it and was party to the long conversation that they had on Harrison (Gambon's part in the film). MG was very interested in Dad's replica of the Galileo clock - the first pendulum clock. I still have that clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread reminded me of Longitude, so I watched it last night. Hard to belief it was 23 years ago and that I was working for C4 at the time.
