This is the fourth in our occasional series featuring luminaries of stage and screen with a strong personal and/or professional connection with Northeast England, inspired with thanks by @robbielewis. Previous profiles were of Jean Heywood, John Nightingale and Edward Wilson. This time, Sunderland born actor siblings Malcolm and Catherine Terris.

Malcolm Terris was born on January 11th, 1941, boarded at Barnard Castle School in County Durham, then worked as a cadet journalist at the Sunderland Echo before training as an actor.

He was active on British television from 1963, his style perfectly suited to larger than life characters, and is possibly best remembered for his role as Great War veteran and salt-of the-earth union leader, Matt Headley, in 34 episodes of the Tyneside interwar social-realism drama, When the Boat Comes In.

As Matt Headley, with James Bolam (Jack Ford) in When the Boat Comes In.

His more than 120 recorded screen credits include a variety of British television programmes, including Fall of Eagles, Doctor Who (Horns of Nimon, 1979), Reilly: Ace of Spies, three separate roles in Coronation Street, Our Friends in the North, The Bill, and a regular role in Rockliffe’s Babies. His final appearance was in Midsomer Murders in 2011.

His big screen appearances include as ship’s surgeon, with Anthony Hopkins as Bligh and Mel Gibson as Fletcher Christian, in The Bounty (1984), with Ricky Tomlinson in Mike Bassett: England Manager, and in Dickie Attenborough’s Chaplin, which starred Robert Downey Jnr in the title role. He has also appeared on stage including in productions of Othello and in a Broadway production of Hamlet.

He passed away at the artistes residential care home, Denville Hall, on June 6th, 2020, aged 79.

Catherine Terris was born in 1948, and trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA). She has been active in British television since 1972, appearing with her brother in seven episodes of When the Boat Comes In. Her other television work includes Z Cars, two roles in Coronation Street, Anna Karenina, Inspector Morse, Dalziel and Pascoe, Heartbeat, George Gently, and a regular role (15 episodes) in William and Mary with Martin Clunes and Julie Graham. She also appeared in the hugely successful feature film, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

According to her page on the Coronation Street fan site, Corriepedia:

"...On stage she has appeared in productions of Faustus, A Rite Kwik Metal Tata, Andy Capp, Tight at the Back, Rose, Tom Jones, Billy Liar, Queuing for Everest and Into the Blue..."

Her most recent television screen credit is In the Club (BBC 2014-16) and latest big screen appearance was in the 2021 feature film, Martyrs Lane.

I want to make a longer post about OFMD Blackbeard and Captain Bligh at some point but that might require re-reading Mutiny on the Bounty (something I am frankly not going to do) so here is the short version.

Captains in the age of sail walked a fine line. They couldn't be too familiar with the crew but they couldn't be too distant and high handed. They couldn't let rule violations slide for risk of losing control but they also couldn't be too strict. They had to be willing to punish bad behavior but they couldn't be brutal. They (ideally) had to inspire the crew to endure the difficult conditions at sea and the horror of naval battles but they also couldn't be friends with the crew. Basically, a good captain was always on and always thinking. It was not easy.

I'm not saying this hierarchical structure was good. But it's definitely interesting and creates wonderful dynamics for fiction.

Captain Bligh isn't fictional. He was a British captain (and fuckhead colonizer who sailed with James Cook) whose crew mutinied and set him and the crew members loyal to him adrift in a dinghie with some food, fresh water, and a compass. He wrote a memoir about it where he tried to make himself sound reasonable and smart but probably protested too much.

Basically, Bligh lost control. His punishments were considered unfair and he made some decisions that the crew disagreed with strongly. Oops. Rowboat for you! Union strong and all that. I'm generally a fan of mutinies, myself. Anyway.

Blackbeard never loses control. His return during the mutiny against Izzy quells the rebellion immediately. Both his crew and Stede's respect him and I'd argue it's because he walks the captain line extremely well.

But, of course, that's terribly lonely, isn't it? Sometimes captains would invite a companion to sail with them so they'd have someone to talk to over dinner. This was a class thing (yuck), but it was also a function of not having anyone on board who they didn't command.* Ed has Izzy (who he does command). Which. Well.... And for a while he had Stede as a co-captain.

TLDR; Ed is extremely competent and Captain Blackbeard is very carefully maintained. But it's fucking wearing.

"You wanted to be Blackbeard. This is what it's like."

*Charles Darwin was just such a voyage companion for a captain named FitzRoy. It's part of how Darwin developed his ideas for Origin of the Species.

Vancouver Island - August 7, Sunday

An early rise today as we were headed off for a journey to Vancouver Island and the capitol of British Columbia - the city of Victoria.

The driver of our luxury bus, Brent, met us in the lobby at 0740h. We made a few other pickups at other less salubrious lodgings, like the Marriot, Fairmont Downtown, and even a Travelodge, before hitting the highway toward Richmond and the BC Ferry terminal. We had 30 minutes waiting in the vehicle lineup and took advantage of the market there to checkout the shops and have a leak. Before long we were back on our luxury bus and driving onto the ship.

Our luxury bus drive on with several other coaches, large trucks and what seemed like hundreds of cars onto several different decks. The ferries here are ships like the one that goes from Melbourne to Tassie, except our journey was only one and a half hours, from the mainland to Vancouver Island and the capitol of British Columbia.

We sailed out through the Georgia Strait then past several islands where clearly wealthy people with cash to spare have log cabins and what looked like highly expensive summer houses. Exactly on time our ferry docked at Swartz Bay and we were back on our luxury bus and driving down the highway (Hwy 17) through Saanich toward the capital - Victoria, named after Queen Victoria when Vancouver Island was a separate British Colony to British Columbia.

Captain Cook, on his third voyage, 1776-1780, surveyed the island with one of his Midshipman George Vancouver, also onboard was the sail master William Bligh. Years later George Vancouver was exploring and it was 3rd Lt James Baker who spotted a volcano from HMS Discovery in 1792 so they named it after him. Mount Baker which can be seem from Vancouver and surrounds but is actually in Washington State USA.

We arrived in Downtown Victoria and Aaron, Rose, Hugo and Norah headed off the a Fish n’ Chip shop for lunch, apparently the best in the world.

It came with a one hour wait. Bernie toured Fan Tan alley, apparently the narrowest shopping lane in the world, famous for being in a motorcycle chase in a Mel Gibson movie.

After checking out the Main Street of Victoria we decided on a harbour side cafe which was on the harbour broad walk over looking the Legislature of British Columbia and the Emporess Hotel. I had the locally caught fish in batter with naturally cut fries while Bernie had two fish tacos also with locally cut fries. Mine came with a nice coleslaw as well, washed down by a cold ginger beer. Around us were many Canadians who were clearly suffering and wilting in the soaring temperatures induced by climate change, at 24oC Bernie were actually pretty comfortable though.

At 3pm Brent picked up was in the luxury bus and drove was to the world famous, in Canada, Butchard Gardens. Initially a but dubious about this part of the trip it turned out to be the best. The garden are truely spectacular and we all enjoyed our time there and wished for more. Hugo’s and my favourite was the Japanese garden while Bernie liked the sunken Garden, Rose’s favourite was the rose garden and Aaron and Norah liked the carousel, the Chinese dragon and the ice cream shop.

At 1745h we had to join our luxury bus for the drive thru Saanick back to Swartz Bay and on to the return to the mainland ferry. For the trip back we satin the top deck in the warm sun, surrounded by sweaty Cunaks who were jostling each other to get the cool breeze. We had spectacular views of the islands, the houses of the wealthy and the setting sun hitting Mount Baker in the distance.

After the drop offs we were back on the Vancouver waterfront by 2200h and asleep by 2202h, dreaming of flowers, tasty fish and the gently flowing water of Japanese gardens.

Anthony Hopkins, Trevor Howard and Charles Laughton have all played which historical figure in film?

William Bligh (1754-1817) was an English officer in the British Navy, who sailed with Captain James Cook on his third and final voyage in 1776. In 1787, Bligh was made captain of HMS Bounty and sailed to Tahiti to collect breadfruit trees. A mutiny on HMS Bounty famously prevented Bligh from finishing this task. In 1806, Bligh was made Governor of New South Wales in Australia and, after returning to England, was made a Rear-Admiral and later a Vice-Admiral of the Royal Navy.

Bligh has been depicted in films on several occasions, notably in the films 'Mutiny on the Bounty' in 1935 and 1962, and 'The Bounty' in 1984. English-American actor Charles Laughton (1899-1962) portrayed Bligh in the 1935 version of 'Mutiny on the Bounty', which was the highest-grossing film that year. It won an Academy Award for Best Picture, and as of 2022, is the only film to receive three nominations for Best Actor.

English actor Trevor Howard (1913-1988) starred in the 1962 film 'Mutiny on the Bounty'. Both this film and the previous version were based on the novel of the same name by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall. It was nominated for seven Academy Awards.

Welsh actor Anthony Hopkins (born 1937) is the most recent actor to portray William Bligh in film. 'The Bounty' (1984) was based on Richard Hough's version of the real-life tale, 'Captain Bligh and Mr. Christian'. Fletcher Christian (1764-1793) was the first mate who took control of the ship during the mutiny.
