Dalton would've come close to doing the final scene as well as Lazenby. A shame he didn't get the chance to do a few more.

Lazenby- none of the others could've done that final scene like he did.

Munro for me - purely for that wink in The Spy Who Love (!) Me. Plus, she came along to our Avengers location weekend a few years back.

Lani Hall and Sheryl Crowe for me - pretty dire stuff. Anyone voting for Moonraker will be getting a visit from Freddie Baker.

Morecambe and Wise for me, if only for Eric's "He's not going to sell many ice creams going at that speed" as an ambulance went past had me in stitches the first time I heard it. Tony Hancock did that joke a long time before Eric & Ernie though. In the radio episode 'The Jewel Robbery' where Sid cons him into allowing him to drive his new (old) Rolls Royce after he's done a smash and grab, they have this conversation: Hancock says to him, "There's a car behind us" Sid replies,"So what?" Hancock: "It's ringing a bell" Sid: "He's probably selling crumpets" Hancock: "I shouldn't think he'll sell many doing 90 miles an hour" That said, it's Morecambe and Wise for me but I don't mind The Two Ronnies at all. Eric only has to look at the camera to start me off laughing.

She was taken ill during the filming of They Keep Killing Steed and was sidelined for a week so when she returned she went straight into the next episode,Wish You Were Here, the bulk of which was complete, but the main crew by that stage were already embarking on Killer so the decision was taken for her to be written out so she could complete the previous two episodes.

Linda Thorson for me. Met her a couple of times and she's a really nice lady with plenty of time for fans.

Mike Holloway cropped up in a clip show on Friday night on Ch5 called The Best of Bad TV - The 90's. He was a backing singer on Paul Shane's legendary Pebble Mill performance of You've Lost That Loving Feeling and as it was playing I thought how much he looked like Gary Numan in 1979. When they interviewed him in the present day he still looked like him - he seemed to be wearing Gazza's wig! Worth checking out when it's repeated.

An outstanding singer who unfortunately is remembered more for her TV appearances rather than her singing career.
RIP.

Crockford's was a gambling club in Mayfair, ironically where we see Freddie Fenton leaving in his Rolls Royce.

Lydon by some distance for me - never really saw the appeal of Strummer, either as a song writer or frontman.

[anorak] The small amount of location filming for that Only Fools episode ('défense de fumer' etc.) was done at a hotel in Studland Bay, Dorset.[/anorak]

Would the writer of the first screenplay retain the rights to the character? I could see that being a reason as a different writer wouldn't be able to use a character created by someone else without a payment being made, something a production company would be reluctant to do having already shelled out for a script. They could always get the original writer to write another episode using the same character of course but maybe they were unavailable? For example, Warren Mitchell appeared in four different series of The Avengers but only played the same character in two of them (Brodny in Two's A Crowd in season 4 and The See Through Man in season 5) both written by Philip Levene.

"I'm a bit kettled(?) meself" I think he probably says 'Cattled', as in Cattle Truck.....

My favourite episode of Minder full-stop. The exchanges between Arthur and Chisholm are priceless.

Yes, this always sticks out when I watch the episode.

Wholeheartedly agree there jno - an unusually weak Terry episode and one I'm in no rush to see again.
