    Had to be quick - they sold out really quickly. Dame Diana seems happy to talk about The Avengers and OHMSS these days. Saw her at the BFI a while back and she was really good fun.

    Great! I hope you get to have a nice chat with her. -{

    Today it's six years ago the horrible terrorist attacks in Oslo and Utøya. I want to honour the 77 murdered, the heroes who escaped and the heroes who helped them. I also want to show my support for the families of the dead.

    2017 seems to be trying to rival 2016. Both the great French New Wave actress Jeanne Moreau and American playwright and actor Sam Shepherd have passed on. RIP both.

    Everyone gives way to time. I just watched Jeanne Moreau recently in "La Notte." I love Sam Shepard from "The Right Stuff," who of course played the true hero of that movie.

    I certainly agree, Supes. That said I learned only this morning that Shepard's cause of death was ALS--otherwise Lou Gehrig's Disease or Motor Neurone Disease. It's the same illness that took my mother, and there's still no cure. If anyone is looking for a worthwhile charity. . .

    Unlike the Telegraph who printed his obituary today! These journos really getting very slack https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/aug/02/daily-telegraph-wrongly-announces-duke-of-edinburgh-death

    Despite some of his Ill chosen quips I like Philip he's a good egg infact I like all the leading royals.

    I really liked Robert Hardy.
    He had guest roles in Foyles War, Midsomer Murders, Lewis and Morse and he owned them!
    Plus we can't forget All creatures great and small. Will be missed

    Very sad news, I recently saw his daughter on the One Show, where I found out he had Alzheimer's. Some great tracks to play in tribute, Wichita Lineman being a highlight, RIP.

    Sad to hear of the death of the legendary Sir Bruce Forsyth. I was just thinking of him recently. -{

    From Wikipedia:

    In 2012, Guinness World Records recognised Forsyth as having the longest television career for a male entertainer.
