    Look on the bright side, at least he'll find out who "number 1" is now!

      It's funny, as I get older I try to behave better towards my common man, and "put a little back". But I'm erring more and more towards the viewpoint that oblivion awaits us all. Still, sad to hear of the Prisoner checking out.

        He was also in 'The Man from Uncle' which was one of my favourite programmes from the 60s.

        RIP Patrick.

          Damn! Such a cool guy.

          You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

              I've just had visions of Alastair Darling (number 11) trying to resign!

                A great pity. Shame he did not take the part of James Bond.

                  Apparently one of his first roles was a bit part as a guard in the 1954 film Dambusters. I must look out for him if I watch it again.

                  Talking about that film, I wonder how the remake is coming on.
