Episode Notes

Stage and screen veteran Graham Abbey (Defendor, Take This Waltz, Degrassi: The Next Generation, Under the Banner of Heaven), who's also the artistic director of Prince Edward County’s Festival Players, takes a run at Hugh Hudson's Chariots of Fire, the film about the unlikely friendship between British Olympians Eric Liddell (Ian Charleson) and Harold Abrahams (Ben Cross) that went on to triumph over Atlantic CIty, On Golden Pond, Reds and Raiders of the Lost Ark at the 54th annual Academy Awards. Your genial host Norm Wilner is still a little sore about that, if we're being honest.
