r/AlanRickman

Hello All, massive Alan fan from way back I don’t post much as I tend to shy away from social media. I am currently hunting down any recordings he did pre Die Hard for BBC radio plays etc.

I have found :

The Contemplative Life
A Good Man In Africa
A Trick to Catch An Old One
Rope
One with African Folktales

I’ve researched and there are plenty more - just wondering has anyone tracked any down?

I have been trying to locate Gridlock with no success.

Gridlock by Nigel Gearing — Alan Rickman as Charles, Anna Nygh as Carrie, directed by Cherry Cookson. Carrie and Charles meet once a year in a hotel bedroom to consummate their friendship and love, and this particular meeting brings a surprise. It was first broadcast on BBC Radio 3 in May 1985 and repeated on 23 February 1986.

I know there's many interviews where Mr Rickman goes into his film work, but does anyone know if there are any where he discusses his work in the theatre at length, either directing or acting himself?

How have I never seen this film before? What a thoughtful, uplifting and sweet experience. I'm feeling very jaded with modern movies, and I couple of nights ago I run across this oldie.

I've seen Alan Rickman in a few things and he was on my radar somewhat. That voice! But he wasn't even using That Voice in this movie and he still hits it out of the park.

I've wanted to watch some of his stuff recently and made a list of films I haven't seen yet, I was able to fine all but two. "An Awfully Big Adventure" and "Truly, Madly, Deeply". I've checked online and with libraries near me but I can't find either anywhere.
