Loved the man from Uncle late 60s.
I remember joining Uncle they sent me an id card and toy gun.
I was then on the lookout for Thrush agents...

RIP David

I have gone out with a few Thrush Agents.

Sad news about David. I always liked him. RIP

Johnny Leyton is about the only person in that film still alive.

Sorry to very pedantic, but the guy who spoke the last line in The Great Escape, William Russell Enoch is still alive at 99!

Became a TV star in the 50s, with the Adventures of Sir Lancelot. After The Great Escape he became one of the original companions on Doctor Who. In later years he was also a Corrie guest star.
