    Michael Jayston I believe was considered for Bond pre-Moore. I must check out these radio plays.

    He starred as Bond in a BBC Radio 4 adaptation of You Only Live Twice in December 1990. You can listen to it here:


    Thanks Dragonpol.Much appreciated.

    My pleasure. I hope you enjoy listening to it! :)

    I remember listening to Steve Wright on the radio in the early 90's.
    Great presenter, and wickedly funny humour. Used to love Mr. Spoons.

    RIP

    A career that spans eight or nine decades and a life lived to 101? What a legend. RIP, Micheline.

    RIP John Savident. Most known for Fred Elliot ("I say, I say, where's our Ashley?"), but he also appeared in, amongst many other things, a few episodes of Yes Minister, as Jumbo.

    For me he will always be the fat conspirator in A Clockwork Orange.

    I knew him mostly from his stand-up appearances on The Tonight Show. Very funny.
    RIP.

    RIP.

    I only ever really knew him from his lovable appearances in Curb over the past many years, but that led me to branch out to his stand-up which was also a treat. He seemed like one of those comics that everyone loved.

    Almost two weeks late, but I thought Bobbie Wygant deserved a mention here. She interviewed countless Hollywood stars in her 70 years in TV, including all of the Bonds apart from Lazenby, along with other actors from the series. An intelligent and classy interviewer, an increasing rarity nowadays. Rest in peace.



    Plus Roger on top form as usual.

    Sad news about Virgil, I am a big fan of the Golden Era of WWF and also aware of what Virgil has been doing in recent years.

    R.I.P.

    Bobbie Wygant died?! Damn. I love her YouTube channel. Those interviews are like traveling back in time. I enjoy hearing the thoughts of all those actors and filmmakers on films that, while studio-made pictures, are a bit obscure these days. Good questions for the most part, which led the interviewees to provide some interesting insights. Also, she had a way of conducting the interviews that was polite and relaxing, but engaging. Her channel is a great little treasure trove of film history. May she rest in peace.

    White Christmas is one of my favourite musicals (and Christmas movies). So, it's with great sadness that I've learned of the death of Anne Whitfield, who played the General's grand daughter in this movie :
