Susan & Elizabeth, you ladies are too much! Now you've got me looking for arm whacks, too! ;-)
I was watching Oliver Twist last night and found something interesting. In the scene where Nancy finds Oliver out in the street on his way to return some books, Kay Walsh (Nancy) gives Bob an arm whack! I laughed out loud!
Sikes: "What's this? He's been stealing again!" (Bill hits Oliver upside the head)
Nancy: "Oh no, Bill!" (whack!!)
Another interesting thing, Bob doesn't really do the arm whack thing in this picture. Rather, he seems to prefer elbow jabs. It's a more crude gesture, in keeping with Sikes' character, I suppose. In his fantastic entrance scene in Fagin's hideaway when he tries to get the Artful Dodger or Charlie to go to the police court, Sikes jabs each of them when he speaks to them. Also in the Three Cripples Tavern, he jabs Fagin after they plan the robbery.
This is great fun! Can't wait to see Obsession...I'm gonna order a copy.

I noticed a whack in the LJS series 'The Pink Pearl'. He whacks Jim in the cabin when they are planning to go ashore. I guess it's at least halfway through the episode and it's a very light, I think it was, two whacks. And he does elbow quite a bit too. I saw some of it in 'The Eviction'(someone had mentioned him using the elbow tap too). So we have 'arm whacks' and 'elbow taps' to collect.
