    Default One By One, starring Rik Mayall (also in the Avalon Library)

    I didn't know about this film until today.

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2332735/


    It covers waking up and has some stuff on 911. It was the last film Rik Mayall made before he died of a "cardiac event" at 56 and I have seen speculation on Youtube that he was touching subjects he should not have in the film and was finished off.

    I cant source it through my normal channels, and the two sellers on Amazon for a DVD wont ship outside the UK.

    It doesn't seem to be available for download either.

    Can anyone give me a hint? Mrs Anchor and I would like to watch it.

    I found this documentary about it on YouTube that has plenty of content, and if you watch it you may see why I want to see the whole film

    Interesting - I was surprised when I couldn't find it either (and I download a LOT of stuff)...

    Must be available somewhere online.

    Rik Mayall's last English film - One By One (2016)
    with writer/producer Diane Jessie Martin (18:17 minutes)


    Peter Borenius
    Published on Mar 11, 2016
    The drama centres on Dion, an ordinary woman (Heather Wilson) who gradually has her eyes opened to the existence of a sinister 'new world order'. As writer and director, do you share the film's startling world view?

    A lot of people have been asking me that and my response is that it's an opinion – it's not necessarily my opinion. The film is a piece of drama and I have put things into it to provoke a reaction. I'd like it if people went away after seeing it to do a bit of research for themselves.

    Heather was in the year below me at school and is a theatre actress. We'd done a couple of theatre pieces together and I just thought she would be perfect as Dion. I think she's Oscar worthy – we actually started calling her Heather Wilson: One Take Wonder because she was so good.

    One By One is your first ever film, shot for £25k. How did it come about?

    I first had the idea back in March 2009 after watching a couple of documentaries and attending a few seminars. I realised that there were lots of factual films dealing with these issues, but not many drama pieces. So I thought it would be a good opportunity to get those ideas out there in a less preachy kind of a way.

    In 2010 we filmed a short promo which we used to do crowdfunding, which is how we raised the money to start filming in 2011. We did 10 days back-to-back and then we did five more weekends. As you say, it was my first film – literally. I hadn't even done a short film, so it was straight into features and everyone thought I was a bit nuts. But I had an amazing director of photography (Nicholas Peel) who I spent three weeks planning every single shot with.

    I think the fact I had done so much prep gave the crew faith that I knew what I was doing – and, as an actor myself, I was able to communicate exactly what I needed to the cast.

    My background is in acting and theatre, but studying at New York Film Academy kind of sowed the seed for creating. I had always wanted to write but, because I'm dyslexic, I never thought I'd be able to actually do it. Luckily, I'm a bit stubborn.

    Rik Mayall plays against type in a professorial role as the kind, worldy-wise Ernest. How did Rik get involved in the film?

    I've always loved Rik Mayall – I grew up with Bottom – and I just thought he would be perfect. I very much saw Ernest as the soul of the film and I wanted somebody that people wouldn't expect to play that part. Rik's always been either a comic genius or a bad guy on screen, so I thought him playing Ernest would turn everyone on their heads a little bit in a way that would be just right.

    I also thought that as an actor he would enjoy the challenge of playing something different from the stereotypical 'Rik Mayall role'. So I sent the script to his agent on a Friday and on Monday I got a voicemail saying he loved it. Needless to say, I cried uncontrollably – I phoned my mum to tell her the news and my business partner Ash Parker had to explain because she couldn't make out a word I was saying.

    What was it like working with Rik?

    He was absolutely lovely and extremely excited to be part of the film. He told me that when he first read the script he couldn't put it down and that he couldn't believe it was my first screenplay – which was obviously a massive thing for me. He loved the line "If a picture paints a thousand words then our eyes can see a thousand lies – see it to believe it". He said that was the line that hooked him.

    While we were making the film, Rik told me that he wanted to be the next Antony Hopkins and, without blowing my own trumpet, he does do that in this film. You literally cannot take your eyes off him when he's on screen. He's amazing.

    I remember exactly where I was when I got the call to say he had died. I just couldn't believe it. I'm glad that he at least got to see the film, although sadly we never had a chance to sit down to watch it together. And he would have loved all of this, the buzz and excitement of it finally getting released. It still doesn't feel quite real that he's not with us any more.

    You're originally from Bracknell in England. How have you ended up based in Rostrevor and what's your next project?

    It was a twist of fate. I'd met an English musician called Nathan Ball who ended up writing some music for One By One. Later on, he was recording in Northern Ireland with the producer Tom Newman (Tubular Bells) and he invited me over for a bit of a break as I was very stressed with working full time and trying to finish the film.

    Double check when you order. I found that some of the links on Amazon and elsewhere automatically linked to the movie called, “One: The Movie”.

    Thanks everyone for looking. None of the sources post to Australia. I may have to get my baby brother Anchor to get it for me as he is living in the UK, rip it and send it to me that way.

    Saw it years ago but just watched it again when this thread got bumped... powerful stuff - the casting, script, acting, camera work, direction and of course the message - after what's happened in the last 3 years it's even more relevant - it goes deep - - - -

    I concur. It was way ahead of the general curve and went profoundly deep.

    Mayall had history with the people who made him and subsequently tried to break him. This image and related linked article are from around October 2005. We're pretty much seeing him get burned then to make way for the political correctness trend, the LGBTQ+ crap and so on.



    https://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2005/10/03/600/riks_rage

    His death was a murky business. His wife was suspicious about it and there was a kerfuffle over the coroner's report. Also I remember Ade Edmondson doing a tv interview in the aftermath of Mayall's death. His body language was obviously out of whack, suggesting that he was saying what he was expected to say unless he wanted to be next for the special treatment.

    Mayall worked closely with Ben Elton for a long time. The same Ben Elton who wrote 'Stark'. Bearing this and the nature of Mayall's 'Adonis Cnut' character in mind, it's obvious they both mixed in circles aware of a far bigger picture.

    For anyone else who might be interested in the truths in UK film and television, this one from 1968 is a classic too.

    Thanks for bumping this thread

    I'd saved this film in the Avalon library a couple years back and hadn't remembered to alert the community to it on this thread.

    As with all other material in there this is downloadable

    Mayall worked closely with Ben Elton for a long time. The same Ben Elton who wrote 'Stark'. Bearing this and the nature of Mayall's 'Adonis Cnut' character in mind, it's obvious they both mixed in circles aware of a far bigger picture.

    For anyone else who might be interested in the truths in UK film and television, this one from 1968 is a classic too.


    thanks -

    re Rik's death - I see that reports often linked it to the near fatal Quad Bike accident he had (and coma) in 1998 - and this MIGHT have been the case BUT the timing of it has to raise suspicion - he wasn't around to promote the film and it's highly controversial subject matter ... the film didn't die with him but it must have took a hit and served as a warning to other popular celebrities to watch their step - we see more now how important recruiting celebrities to push the Official Narrative is - and how the 'undesirables' are got rid of or become unemployed ... 'they' only encourage the cross over from show business to politics if it's on their terms...

    cheers also for the 'News Benders Show'... fascinating how prophetic it was but at the same time how dated with the technology.. that whopping great implant they sneaked into him during surgery.. ... in the days before? nano technology.. but it was all there ... establishment coercion/bribery/blackmail/dishonesty + the conspiracies come true...

    His wife was suspicious about it and there was a kerfuffle over the coroner's report
    I did not know about this, do you have any information/elaboration?
    Straight from the horse's mouth.



    The interview Ade Edmondson gave on mainstream tv shortly after Mayall's death gave me the creeps. His body language and the energy around him was out of whack. He towed the party line, but it didn't seem at all convincing.

    The clip Spiral posted up is telling of sorts. I hadn't seen it before.

    In 2017 or 2018 I watched One By One for the first time. Then I spent half an hour with the search engine and the likes of "Rik Mayall death", "Rik Mayall post-mortem" and "Rik Mayall coroner". And so on.

    Since then search results from local newspapers are hard to find, or they have simply disappeared. Results from national newspapers are fewer.

    I saw enough familiar signs and inconsistencies to be deeply suspicious, rightly or wrongly.
