A Right Pair of Villains
A film report by Trevor Philpott
Their wrestling programme says the Klondyke Brothers were born in the toughest, farthest-flung corner of Alaska. You have to be careful what you believe, but they are certainly the most massive and probably the most monstrous pair of entertainers on the boards. Between them they weigh 56 stones and every ounce of it Is villainous. Every night the crowds fill the halls in the hope of seeing these two ugly, misshapen, merciless men take a long overdue beating.

9: Tom Keating : Portrait of a Master Faker
In 1976 the art world was rocked by a sensational exposé alleging that paintings sold by reputable London dealers as the work of the Victorian master, Samuel Palmer , were not his, but Tom Keating 's.
In February of this year the matter came to trial, but as TOM KEATING'S health deteriorated, all charges were dropped. So it remains an unanswered question whether he crossed that fatal line between faking and forging.
While he was waiting to be tried, Tom Keating demonstrated to us how he made commercial fakes of Renoir, Degas and Samuel Palmer. He talked of his life, his vendetta against the art establishment, and his love and collaboration with a girl 30 years his junior.
