    I've been told for terrorists if you get beheaded you can't go to
    Heaven, so no 72 virgins for you. So as their doing it to us,perhaps
    We should return the favour.

    I posted this today on FB...such a strong sentiment... and true too, if we don't let them dictate.

    I always enjoyed seeing Rod Taylor--the last time (for me, at least) was as Winnie himself in Inglorious Basterds. I hope he took three books with him. . .

    He also was the voice of Pongo in the 1961 version of 101 Dalmatians. Really like that film. RIP

    Indeed - very sad news. I was just thinking of him the other day funnily enough. And I really liked him as Boysie Oakes in The Liquidator. It's a real shame there weren't more Oakes films starring Rod Taylor. :#

    RIP Lance Percival...one of the first to bring 'satirical comedy' to the screens of the UK...he also provided the voices of both Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr in the 1960's cartoons....

    Shame about Rod Taylor too...RIP.

    it's a coincidence that the film she's best known for " La Dolce Vita"
    " she wades through Rome's Trevi Fountain in a strapless dress"
    and it's the fuss over this Fountain that's holding up a possible car
    chase in Rome for SPECTRE.

    I can't believe Rod Taylor has left us. He was such an incredible actor. Same goes to Lance Percival. I will always remember him for playing the chef in Carry On Cruising.
    Favourite Bonds: TIMOTHY DALTON and DANIEL CRAIG
    Favourite Bond films: QUANTUM OF SOLACE, SKYFALL and THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS

    More sorry departures. I love the early Carry On Films, so very sorry to hear of Lance Percival's passing. To quote the film...

    Sid James as Captain Crowther. - Who are you?!

    Lance P - Haynes captain, Wilfred Haynes, you'll see I'm on the list there...

    Capt Crowther - What happened to Nottington our regular ships cook?

    Haynes - Perhaps he got fed up?

    Ken Williams as 1st Off Marjoriebanks - Fed up! I say, that's good! Hahahahahahaha!!!

    Capt Crowther - Belt up!!

    And Mr Percival was great in Up Pompeii as well as Capt Billius. "Where is that slave?!" "Madam, you are not allowed water wings in here!... Would you all excuse me please?"

    I wish we still had new comedy productions like that. Rest in Peace Mr Percival, your great work will always make me laugh.
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    So sad to hear about the death of Brian Clements.
    The Avengers and the Professionals were favourites of mine
    As a kid.

    Yes really saddened to hear this. I met Brian a few years back and he was great company. As well as his superb work on the Avengers, I'd also like to mention the series he did back in the seventies, Thriller, which was discussed in another thread. He told me his favourite episode was "I'm the girl he wants to kill" and so I shall watch that in tribute to the great man! RIP Brian...

    I know he didn't write every single episode,but with all those thousands
    Of story ideas for so many great TV series, he must have had a truly
    Fantastic imagination. -{

    I am genuinely sad about the passing of Anne Kirkbride. Came as a real shock when I saw it last night.

    Have watched Corrie all my life.

    Sad day.
