  I was shocked at the passing of Julian McMahon, I’ve only recently watched The Surfer.
  More sad news, and far too young. RIP

  I remember watching McMahon in Home and Away a long time ago, it was a Australian soap opera that was on in the UK..

  It goes without saying that these gentlemen were taken before their time.

  The 70s were a very comfortable place to be with Bob Newhart and his television show. And the guy who could successfully phone it in.
  
  A good life lived by him.

  I'm saddened to have just found out that the author and journalist Duff Hart-Davis died on 10th July 2025 at the age of 89. He was the son of Rupert Hart-Davis who worked at Jonathan Cape in Ian Fleming's time and the godson of Peter Fleming, Ian's elder brother. He went on to write the excellent Peter Fleming: A Biography (Jonathan Cape, 1974). Although a biography of Peter Fleming as opposed to Ian this book is a very important early source on the origins of the literary James Bond continuation. The passages on this are well worth a read for anyone interested in how the Bond continuation came about.
  
  His obituary in The Daily Telegraph:
