@alinvan Yes, I have vague memories of that too here in the UK... Barbera Kelly was a regular, as was the magician David Nixon, Lady Isabelle Barnet, Cyril Fletcher, Nanette Newman et al. For many years, of course, it was hosted over here by Eamon Andrews. Hope that brings back a few memories ...

@lordhogarth You're right, of course. Am I just being a grumpy old man when I start to think how few so-called stars could possibly come close to these old timers? Clare Danes and, erm, erm... give me a second... erm... I'll get back to you!

Thank you very much for posting this. Even scrolling down on this page alone, people have their theories, even their certainties, on how Marilyn died. Many vested interests are known to have been involved in the cover up, if not the event itself, so there are very few 'facts' available to us no...

@graperonto This was from 1965 so she would have been 20 or 21.

@meg3325 I was wondering whether to mention QI when I posted but that just seems like showing off! But you do have to remember that the vast majority of our shows are not like that. I do take your point, seriously, but after The West Wing you sometimes need to be reminded that US television wri...

@ComposerInUK The list continues to grow... Claudia Cardinale, Pier Angeli and. of course, how could I forget her, Arlene Francis! Have I missed anyone...?

I've watched very many of these shows now (thank you crepehanger47!) and I've come up wit a list of my favourite women. Those who not only looked good but were charming, intelligent and funny too. Anyone like to share their own list?

@johnnycheck99 Perhaps it's because the were made a very, very long time ago. Just a thought...

It would be good to know the date of this broadcast... I know that he and Dorothy loved each other very much (sexually or not, it hardly matters) but was this the first time they met? Forgive my ignorance but I'm British and I think I'm right in saying that Dorothy was hardly known over here.

@unclealand Yes indeed! But not yet... take a look at the photo Wikipedia have of her taken in 2009, fifty years on from this, I'm guessing. Still a remarkably beautiful woman.

I should, of course, have added Lee Remick. I may think of others. I can't say that many of today's actresses have quite the same appeal but perhaps I'm just a grumpy old man!

@dellotti She did do an interview in 1985, around 30 years after this appearance, looking and sounding so well and still with the smile preserved. She had her ups and downs, like all of us, but her lows were very acute. Here's the link for anyone who might be interested...

@ErikOtterberg Andrew Lloyd Webber is bad. Stephen Sondheim is a genius.
