TV crew trapped in Cary Grant’s Bristol dining room (Rousse)

The presenter turned to camera and proudly declared “And this, ladies and gentlemen, is Cary Grant’s dining room”. Out of shot, I fingered the tatty lime green wallpaper and concluded that the flower design dated from the 1950s at the very earliest. By this time Archibald Leach would have already lived in the US for three decades. Once again I had doubts over how authentic our TV series “Famous people of Bristol” would appear to the viewing public. A more immediate problem, however, was how we were going to get out of the room once the filming was complete: there wasn’t a single door or window through which to exit.
