Charters and Caldicott : ウィキペディア英語版 | Charters and Caldicott
Charters and Caldicott started out as two supporting characters in the 1938 Alfred Hitchcock film ''The Lady Vanishes''. The two humorous and cricket-obsessed characters were played by Naunton Wayne and Basil Radford. The characters were created by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat. The duo became very popular and were used as recurring characters in subsequent films, in BBC Radio productions, and eventually in their own BBC television series. ==Films== In ''The Lady Vanishes'', Charters and Caldicott are singleminded cricket enthusiasts, rushing back to England to see the last days of a Test match. They proved popular with audiences and returned in the Gilliat-and-Launder films ''Night Train to Munich'' (1940, also starring Margaret Lockwood) and ''Millions Like Us'' (1943), and in the BBC radio serials ''Crook's Tour'' (1941, made into a film later that year) and ''Secret Mission 609'' (1942). Wayne and Radford played similar double acts in several more movies, such as ''Dead of Night'' (1945, sequence directed by Charles Crichton), ''A Girl in a Million'' (1946, Francis Searle) and ''Quartet'' (1948, sequence directed by Ralph Smart). Another recurring cricket-mad pairing played by them were Bright and Early in ''It's Not Cricket'' (1949, Alfred Roome), ''Helter Skelter'' (1949, Ralph Thomas) and ''Stop Press Girl'' (1949, Michael Barry). They were intended to reappear in ''I See a Dark Stranger'' (1945, Launder), but Launder and Gilliat refused to give them the larger roles in the film that Radford and Wayne demanded, as befitting the high profile actors they had now become. As a result, the actors opted out of the film and two similar but differently named characters were substituted. This falling out, however, left Radford and Wayne contractually disallowed from portraying the characters under the names "Charters" and "Caldicott".
