Doomed I tell you!

[Cheesefreek]

Does anyone know if the quotation "We're all doomed - doomed I tell you!" is taken from an actual film.  I imagine it being said in a terribly English accent in a British 60s black and white B movie where a scientist and his beautiful daughter save the world.  Am I right, or just getting carried away!?

[Thanatos]

I always thought it was Private Fraser from Dad's Army that said it.

Sounds like something that Dr Smith from Lost in Space would say.

Gary Oldman delivered a similar line in the big screen remake.

I agree with Thanatos, Private Fraser who was also an undertaker. Said it in a low voice with strong Scottish accent, rollong his eyes.

[Cheesefreek]

Yes, now you come to mention it I do remember Private Fraser saying it - but I'm still hoping for the B movie, clipped English accent bloke, obviously feeling a bit depressed as a cardboard meteor hurtles towards earth.  Oh well, I'm probably living on dreams!!  Thanks for answers folks.

[Cuddlysac]

Now I remember Private Fraser saying it in that rolling Scottish accent... but I still maintain that the memory bugging Mr Cheesefreek is from the old TV space opera, Lost in Space. Dr Smith was a camp, evil English scientist who unwittingly stowed away with the Robinson family.  Smith had a few catchphrases, such as "Oh, the pain, the pain" and "Doomed! We're all doomed!"

If you don't believe me, we can take it outside and sort it out like men.

My diddley neighbour Homer says it all the time.

[Cheesefreek]

Yes - I do remember Dr Smith Cuddlysac (by the way I'm a girlie!!).  I think because so many characters are associated with it, that it must have originated somewhere.  The thick plottens!!

[gerry]

 There's a movie called "Night Of The Big Heat" from 1967 which stars Peter Cushing & Christopher Lee.

The plot of the movie is While mainland Britain shivers in deepest winter, the northern island of Fara bakes in the nineties. The boys at the Met station have no more idea what is going on than the regulars at the Swan. Only a stand-offish visting scientist suspects aliens are to blame.

 

Does that ring any bells?

[Octavius]

On the Beach (1959) starring Gregory Peck contained the line: We're all doomed, you know. The whole, silly, drunken, pathetic lot of us. Doomed by the air we're about to breathe.

Plot outline: The residents of Australia after a global nuclear war must come to terms with the fact that all life will be destroyed in a matter of months.

I would have said Dad's Army as well though.

..sounds like a quote fromtone of the Carry On films to me...

The actor who played Fraser in Dad's Army released an album of Scottish stories and myths in the mid 70's, to expand the idea of the mysteries of the Scottish Castles lochs, and I think I remember it being an imitation of an earlier Scottish story teller who had used the same type of phrases.
