Threads Thread

This is just an oddity of no consequence whatsoever.

I was in the pub the other day (now THERE'S a funny thing!), when a chap I met got to talking about a 1984 BBC TV Movie called Threads, concerning what life would be during and after a nuclear holocaust. He told me to check out IMDb, which I did, and this is what I found:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090163/fullcredits#cast

There she is, second from the bottom:

Anne Sellors: Woman Who Urinates Herself (Uncredited).

Apparently its Ms Sellors's only screen cred ever.

And what my new friend said, over his fourth pint of Deuchar's ale, was this: "What must she think when she looks back on her life now, and sees that her one and only claim to fame is as 'Woman Who Urinates Herself (Uncredited)'?"

A heartless anecdote, I quite agree, but one I felt a strange compulsion to share with you all.

That is quite funny and a bit sad for the poor woman, her only claim to fame, but it beats anything I'll ever get credited for. :rolleyes:

Maybe we can find some other srceen credits along those lines.

I put my professional name into Google and it came up with my appearance as 'Transilvania Extra' in Razor Blade Smile..if I then click on my name it takes me to a page on the IMDb dedicated soley to me... and all the films I've been in...or at least it would do if I had been credited for my nano-seconds of screen time in Shaun of the Dead as well:(

That is a great story though, Byron!

This site has a lot of good ones: http://snfn.tripod.com/funnies/sf_18g4.htm

Good stuff, I have always loved this one.

I love all these stories based on historical events, Marie Antoinette and Dreamchild spring to mind, where the credits solemnly inform us "Any resemblence to any persons living or dead is purely coincidental."

I love all these stories based on historical events, Marie Antoinette and Dreamchild spring to mind, where the credits solemnly inform us "Any resemblence to any persons living or dead is purely coincidental."Yeah, I always thought that was quite funny as well. :confused:

Great advertisment for a bio picture. :rolleyes:

...then there's the great credit from Solomon And Sheba
