    Just take a look at this. For many of us, it brings back some golden memories.

    I became aware of "José Gimenez" thanks to The Right Stuff and From The Earth to the Moon. But in my childhood, I've watched and loved Get Smart, without knowing Bill Dana's contribution to this great show. RIP.

    I think the whole mission of being here on Earth is to accept what you have, and my journey was to accept my own life and not pretend anything else. I think that's what we all struggle with.

    During my last trip to the United Kingdom, I bought a Paddington Bear doll for my grand-niece. Her parents told me she loves it. Maybe some day, I'll buy her the french translations of the books. And the movies, of course.

    Very sad news. I received the old t.v. series from my wife at Christmas 2015. Amazingly inventive and very witty. I can't wait to introduce my son to it. The Hollywood adaptation truly does not hold a candle to it.

    I was traveling yesterday and caught the train from Paddington Station where the statue of the little bear has been covered in condolence cards and jars of marmalade ,most touching of all was a card from Network Rail who manage the station, it reads We will continue to look after this bear.

    Very sad to hear of the death of Barry Norman. A big figure regarding my love of films. Got into his show quite late in the day with Film 96 but always liked his informative easy-going style and remember being upset when he left the BBC two years later.

    2017 has been a rough year :(

    The demise of the Film series is a metaphor for the wider dumbing down of society. He was a class act. I have many of his books. His description of his first meeting with John Wayne is very good.

    He summarised his view of Mr Wayne when I saw him at a talk he did.

    When I first got cable and watched (then) BBC World Service, then BBC Prime, I enjoyed Film 9.... I was sad when they cancelled it.
