Many people assumed that Christopher Plummer was British, but he was Canadian (born in Toronto). He got his start doing CBC radio plays with another young Canadian actor, William Shatner. The two were good friends until Plummer's death.

Interesting that Plummer was appearing in The Good Doctor, a play by Neil Simon - who Elaine Joyce would marry 25 years later.

Fun Fact : All of the panelists except Arlene would a few years later guest star on "The Love Boat" iconic tv show....Soupy in one episode, Tony in 3 and Elaine in 5 !

[@glennhoddle10]

I always found Elaine Joyce to be a very interesting and attractive actress who should have been a much bigger star. Loved her especially in her Love Boat appearances.

[@RonGerstein]

Her last marriage was to Neil "Doc" Simon, and she was widowed when he died.

[@glennhoddle10]

@@RonGerstein Yup.....and it dawned on me that when this was taped, Plummer had just finished acting in Elaine's future hubby's play, The Good Doctor....

[@TheMikester307]

Joyce would appear a few years ago in the excellent TV show "Mr. Merlin."

[@hellokitty777able]

Christopher Plummer reminds me of Ewan Mcgregor.. Mostly mannerism.

Great Actor.

Thanks for preserving these episodes, Chad! They're wonderful recordings, and you seem to have quite the catalogue of episodes. I was wondering if you happen to have access to the episode aired October 1974 episode with Emmett Chapman playing his Chapman Stick? There is a version on CZcams, but it's quality leaves much to be desired as it was uploaded over 13 years ago.

I didn't recognize Plummer at first.

[@Infinityplus1111]

For a second, I thought he signed his name as Christopher Plummeter.

[@coolfinetime]

How did they know the famous guests?? I still cannot get it?😮

[@RonGerstein]

Voice

[@scottpardee6303]

Soupy asking the first woman to kiss him reminds me of Mel Bloch, who was dropped from the earlier version for being too raunchy.

[@jacquelinebell6201]

Hal Block I think.

[@yeahnoonecaresifyouarefirst]

Yes Hal block..... Although I can't stand soupy but I love block..... Same way people can't stand block I guess

[@davemattia]

What the hell did the FARMER say his name was? Sounded like double-talk

[@RonGerstein]

No cursing, you feckless traitor

[@kevinwachs5905]

All actors want to be architects, because they want to draw big houses.

[@jacquelinebell6201]

I dont like Christopher Plummer with a beard. Dont think it suits him. Clever with the voice though.

[@kevinwachs5905]

But it suited the role he was playing on stage.

[@cbjenkins]

I hardly recognize Chris Plummer here. Looks nothing like he did in Sound of Music!

[@yeahnoonecaresifyouarefirst]

I just want to know one thing, is this before or after captain von trapp?

[@gwenniegirl50]

This is from 1974. Christopher Plummer played Captain Von Trapp in the Sound of Music released in 1965

[@yeahnoonecaresifyouarefirst]

@@gwenniegirl50 so after, thank you ❤️
