After all this time.. I finally found the name and the lyrics to the folk song the lady sings in the performance hall early in the film.. I won't spoil any other details, but this information was almost impossible to find and is not listed on the OST even on Amazon until now..

The song was written by Thomas Moore and is entitled " Oft In The Stilly Night " and here are the lyrics for all who want to and need to know like I did..

When I remember, All friends link'd together, I've seen around me, Fall like leaves in winter; I feel like one, Who treads alone Some banquet-hall deserted, Whose lights are fled, Whose garlands dead, And all but he departed! Thus, in the stilly night, Ere Slumber's chain hath bound me, Fond Memory brings the light Of other days around me.

This version was paraphrased for this particular rendition as the original has twice the amt of words, but it is none the less one of the most lovely and enchanting tracks int he entire film.. This movie is one I tend to watch not only periodically, but oft times more than twice in a row.. such a classic.. Bless you Peter O'Toole.. We miss you.. Rest well..

Namaste...

Q.

I've watched Dr. Who ever since 1974 and have seen virtually every Who ever made... including several of the off shoots of Who... Frankly... This is one of the best bits of Comic Relief I've encountered so far... I mean!... Absolutely Everyone in the short film spots is very famous and talented... Seeing Saffron after all these years is a real pleasure and Jim Broadbent was a real surprise.. Frankly... I'd like to see many more of these sorts of Truly entertaining comedies based on one of the founding stones of my entertainment life... Rowen as the " Good Doctor " is just tooooooooooooooooo much... Capricornian sarcastic wit is really a hoot. Thanks to everyone who participated... Thanks so much.. Blessed Be.

Q.

A Quartet of ladies find themselves driving through the wilderness where a serial killer has been recently skinning young women when they are distracted from the road by an " Alien Crossing Their Hood. " We soon discover that this Obvious bit of Cheeze denigrates quickly into finding less and less clothing as each girl is summarily abducted from the woods by a trio of Daleks and interrogated au'buffet naturale. Modestly casual cinematographic integrity and very little plot in this semi-triptoleptic, somewhat more than homespun Whovian inspired bit of soft, earthy sleaze.. Brief appearances of a few virtually meaningless characters. Dalek costumes are admirably acceptable and over all scenery is mostly decent, though we must state being only partially... amused with the very almost 60's motif of this film that I can't believe I watched.. It seems that the best parts of this feature are the opening credits and it's music. We further a mention that this film is definitely... not... for children by any means decent. 55 minutes airtime..
