I don't even know who Erin Gray is. Well it has to be Lynda Carter, she was Miss World. Of course she is stunning but also her character is the only really good female superhero, great costume, great accessories, smart and beautiful. Every girl wanted to be Wonder Woman. She was Miss USA in 1972 but didn't win Miss World although she reached the semi-finals.

Lynda Carter for me. I prefer Pamela Hensley who played Princess Ardala in Buck Rogers to Erin Gray. I'd choose Lynda Carter over Pamela Hensley though.

Rotten just shades it for me, mainly for his look.

Easy for me as I've never been a big fan of Indiana Jones. I think the films are alright but I didn't want to be him whereas I wanted to be James Bond when growing up. I don't even think Indiana Jones is the best Harrison Ford character as I prefer Han Solo and definitely wanted to be him when I was a child.

Children love the 1966 Adam West series as my neighbour's grandson likes it.

Oh interesting. I know Graham Cole. I will ask him about it. He also had a small extra part in Fools when they went to Spain. Customs man I believe. That's right. The episode is 'It Never Rains'. He was also in two episodes of 'Secret Army'.

Very sad news. R.I.P. Is George Cole now the only actor alive from 'Scrooge'? Looking at IMDB, only George Cole and David Hannaford, the boy sent to buy turkey, are still alive.

Patrick Macnee has died aged 93. I loved him as Steed in The Avengers/New Avengers and the other roles he did like his 'Magnum' episode and 'A View To A Kill'. RIP Patrick www.BBC.co.uk/news/uk-33279566

I'm a fence-sitter for this as I like both.

I remember both Alexander and Richard on 'Pointless' saying he ruined the programme.

I liked him and said his catchphrases ("Let me at 'im!" and "Puppy Power") at school which annoyed people.

I prefer the Elvis Presley version even though I like the original.

Terrible that these two great cult actors died more or less at the same time.
I don't normally like musicals, but 'Oliver!' has something about it. It is the kind of light entertainment with a dark edge, that could only have been made in the period when it was. I find it compelling to watch.
Ditto 'The Wicker Man', also a musical of sorts, with Christopher Lee displaying quite a fine singing voice. I'm not fond of musicals but like 'Oliver!' and I like the proper 'Wicker Man' not the Nicholas Cage nonsense.

The 'Tales Of The Unexpected' episode was 'Taste' and it was a good one. I can't think of any other British film icons left apart from Moore, Connery and Caine. There is still Patrick MacNee left for TV icons and he is 93.

Interesting to read that Ron Moody turned down 'Dr Who' before Jon Pertwee accepted playing the Doctor. I liked Jon Pertwee but I would have loved to have seen Ron Moody as the Doctor.

I've always liked Hot Chocolate. I didn't know he was 71 as I thought he was a lot younger.
RIP Errol

He was the best 'Dukes Of Hazzard' sheriff. Later series had guest sheriffs who weren't as good (as well as different leads who weren't Bo and Luke).

I was flicking through the channels the other day and this was on and I saw the Old Kent Road flyover and a road sign for Elephant & Castle while Brian Cox was driving a lorry. The Old Kent Road flyover is about half a mile up the road from where me and my family lived when I was a child. We lived on one of the streets off the Old Kent Road.
