Engels op Radio 2000

simulcast!! I was too young to watch Beverly Hills 90210,

and boy did those 16year olds live it up. But you could listen to it on the radio in bed.

more about simulcast on Radio 2000, I was under the impression that all the shows being dubbed were done by a very small cast of actors.

Well-known actor, and star of films like The Flyer, Marcel van Heerden was the Afrikaans voice of James "Sonny" Crockett. For Van Heerden, the most frustrating aspect of dubbing was the manner in which the Calvinistic censorship board effected the translation of the original dialogue.

He related how what was sometimes a series of expletives in English in the risqué show became a tame form of comical statements in Afrikaans. "My God" translated as "My goeiste" or "My maggies" and curses like "****!" was translated as "Verduiwels" or better still, "Goeie genugtig".

 

Despite his impressive voice-over resumé, one regret remains with Van Heyningen.

"Unfortunately, I was never cast for a Chuck Norris role," he quips.

Then again, that is hardly surprising. Chuck Norris did his own Afrikaans voice-over.

Marcel was a legend back in the day of "the struggle"

He was part of a weird boere punk type band called Koos.

Protest band. Songs titled Tsafendas and Sing jy van bomme. But very much on the fringe.

This was my Ouma's radio that was playing in her kitchen from when I can remember sometime in the 80's when I was a laaitie. Don't know how old it actually is but it is still in mint and 100% working condition  :thumbup:

Lekker man lekker.

 

I must say I appreciate those old radios a lot more now than I did back in the day.

Thinking of getting something like this for the cave:

I have similar memories of my grandmother and the radio that was ALWAYS on in her kitchen in the farmhouse. I never thought much about it back then, but that must have been how she absolutely ALWAYS knew EVERYTHING about the world and what was happening wherever in it!

We originally moved to SA in the mid 70's and we arrived just after television did. My old man refused to by a TV for several years. He said we watched too much in England!
