"Most Read" is just that.

So ....

If enough of us went to look in response to your post Phil ...

We may have pushed it up the rankings enough to have yet another bunch of people somewhere going," Ooh! Gene Wilder is dead. I thought he died years ago!"

I noticed this happen once before, at the time of one of the terrorist atrocities, one or two years ago, Mike.

All of a sudden ANOTHER terrorist outrage from even further back jumped in at number 3 or 4.

I was sitting reading away and thinking "They've not mentioned this on the news"......Then I noticed the date. X_X

He could actually act, too.

My favourite Reynolds film is "The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing".

I think my 'fave' was 'The Longest Yard' (The original, with Burt Reynolds), though I remember it as 'The Mean Machine'.

That's a shame.....Though I only remember her from Blake's 7, decades ago.....She was a very good baddy in that.

RIP Servalan :(

Not saying I was a Blake's Seven fan but somewhere I have a box with about half a dozen Corgi models of the Liberator, all received from family and friends for the same birthday! I'd have been in my mid-twenties at the time :)

Who else has or remembers these?

I am an unashamed Blake's 7 fan.

I remember the Corgi Liberator.
