Talk:Richard McCabe

Einstein and Eddington
The article refers to Dyson as Eddington's best friend at Oxford in this film. Is this correct? In the time covered by the film, Dyson was Astronomer Royal at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. Also both men went to Cambridge. 51kwad (talk) 14:25, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

My relationship with the Subject
Despite what you seem to think, I am not connected to Richard McCabe though I have met him. I admire him enormously. I have cited as much as I can but some of the references I have inserted seem to be have been removed, e.g. references to RSC productions which are featured on their website. Also all the entries on McCabe's film and TV appearances have been deleted and I am puzzled as to why.

Almost all of the director's names have also been deleted, and almost all of the theatre critic quotations which all had the date and the newspaper as citations. Why were these removed? I was told I could not offer my own opinion on productions and his acting, so thought inserting theatre critic quotations would be better but clearly not.

I will endeavour to insert more citations but some of the roles appear to be only in publications such theatre company programmes which I imagine are not acceptable as citations?

Lack of theatrical info
I have to say that I was disappointed by the lack of references to some of McCabe's outstanding performances, especially with the RSC and National. In particular his Master Ford, Iago and Autolycus were all amongst the best Shakespearian performances I have seen. It sounds to me as if at least some of the op material should be reinstated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.5.101 (talk) 01:42, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
