Lome Greene knows that he was not the first actor offered the spot As narrator. They went to sir Laurence Olivier first and he did two shows but nobody would buy them the image was just not right. Then they came to me and i told them i understood after All he is one of the greatest actors in the world. But i told them i can do something which Olivier can t do i can deliver an audience to certainly or. Greene is proving that. However the series in which he starred after proved the audiences Are not totally deliverable unless the scripts Are right. That was grief not Griff. It had to go on a certain time even though it was t ready to be shot. And there was a writ ers strike. I went to Israel and returned to find the show changed completely.
