I recall it being used for the theme tune for the final series of Orlando in 1968 on ITV and have associated it with it ever since, although its been used many times down the years.

It works because Herbert lom was usually a serious intense dramatic actor. Watching such a dignified man unravel into a gibbering wreck was funnier than if Dreyfuss had bene played by a comic actor.

Apart from james Bond, has there ever been a hero who remained to immaculately-suited in the midst of so much peril as well as Ian Chesterton?

SPOILER ALERT -

Ronald Lewis is very good as both concerned friend and psychotic conspirator. I was sad to hear he committed suicide.

If only they knew what an iconic image - Dr and Dalek face tpo face - would become. At the time, it was just another Tv programme few people had any faith in.

Amanda Donohue was a graduate of the "whoops! There go my clothes!" school of acting!

At least Nipper will have somebody to take him walkires wherever he is.

Steve Wright is a notorious Thatcherite cum Murdoch arse-licker.

Anybody remember Annabel throwing a strop on smug git BA Robertson's late night chat show? Obviously stage-managed by Talcy Malcy for maximum publicity.

There are certain shows that you watch and can't help but think "I bet the old casting couch got a good work-out on this one!" Don't they employ fat, plain girls at SHADO.

Gabrielle Drake is hot! I acted opposite her on stage in Noel Coawrd's Cavalcade many years later. One question. It must take the UFO's at least a month to travel from their home planet to Earth. How do they know when to take off to ambush a plane that took off a few hours ago.

I reckon Craven could eat Jack Regan and Gene Hunt for breakfasy.

Victoria!!! Jamie and the Doctor must be still in shock! Still, she's hot, and still was in 1983 when I interviewed her backstage. Good to see the British film industry wasn't entirely moribund in the 70's. I remembger the whole cinema laughing when the baby started crying.

Deborah Watling! Playing a slapper! Jamie would be mortified.

Cockteaser supreme!

Saw them live many years ago at the York Barbican. Great show! Paul Jones AND Mike D'abo both sang.

The stoned-looking one with specs is actually bassist Tom Mcguiness. Manfred was a jazz andblues purist who cynically accepted the necessity of recording cute pop songs

Rest in peace, big fellow!

The priest is hardly the most reassuring figure. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a secret paedo! He's more sinister than the werewolf or the Muarques.

I half expect Pepe to say "Silly old moo!" to his Missus or "up the Hammers!"

The brunette in black is hot!!!!!

I actually saw Tony Slattery's basde arse while we were both changing in the Pineapple studios in Covent Garden.

Charlie says never dangle your testicles into a food blender. Did they ever get around to making that one?

She should have been the regular Carry On girl, but - like Bernard Cribbens - she paid the price for standing up to the producers when they felt they were taking advantage of the cast. She filled out a black basque better than any actress you can care to mention.

Stoker's Count spoke perfect English without an accent. Harker even comments on it in the book and compliments the Count on his English. It could be that he deliberately trained himself to do away with his accent as part of his grand plan to infiltrate English society. It was Lugosi who gave t...

Badly edited for nudity. It misses the point of the twist ending where Charles realises she wants Thomas's body and not him, so he throttles her to deeath.

I bet those 2 lads were walking around bow-legged for days afterwards.

Interesting to see Catwoman and Pussycat so touchy feely at the start of the episode. I wonder if they ever got it on together - especially knowing leslie Gore's preferences. Just hold that thought. I'e got to lide down for a while.

Dick Van Dyke alert!!!!

Alfred is the only one with a convincing English accent!

There's a definete hint of W C Fields in Buono's delivery -"she's had it centuries longer than you,"

@zentaivillain

Despised that harmless old lady? Why?

Nothing against Milton Berle, but a plant-based villain should have been an excuse to bring Poison Ivy in. Natalie Wood was keen to guest at one point, she would have been ideal.

Should've ended on Clint saying "bravo!".

I find it difficult to believe that Hartnell was anti-gay. One of his best friends on the Army Game was Charles Hawtrey who has hardly discreet about such matters.

If the Master needs the radio telescope later on, why leave a booby trap bomb to blow it up? Also, hadn't anybody been into the control cabin before the Doctor to check the sabotage?

Just think. If he had lived, he would probably not only have played Dracula, but the monster in Frankenstein as well. Lugosi and Karloff would be unknown today. He might have even played the Wolfman and parts like Lennie and put his own son out of work. The whole history of horror cinema woul...

Sand irradiated from the atomic testings was imported for some scenes and it is believed this is what caused so many on that film, including John Wayne and Susan Hayward to die of cancer. Nosher Powell, a stunt man on that film, once said he and Lee Van Cleef were the only 2 on that film not to ...

The terrifying thing is, a third Dalek movie based on the Chase could well have looked lie this - even down to using Charles Hawtrey. Amicus used him in a cheap scifi film called the Terrornauts.

Any more of these: Thank you for posting it. I remember watching odd episode when this was shown in the 70's. The sort of show they wouldn't dream of showing these days on bland, tasteless X-factor TV. George was the king of British revivalist jazz.

The el dorado would be a live performance...

Sme explanation for the end of the video - Buster was (and is) renowned for exposing his fat arse to audiences. I bet one or two video watchers seeing this were anxious at the closing image of his bent over. Top man!

John Cleese battering the living daylights out of the schoolgirl had me in stitches. Many British boxing promoters have presented mismatches even worse than that.

Sorry about the lack of Gilliam cartoons. Isn't Carol Cleveland sexy in boxing gear. She could beat me up any time.
