In a spirit of positivity, and in responce to a post from James on another thread, I am starting a thread on people who would have been worse choices to play James Bond than Daniel Craig was. OK, I'll start:

Timmy Mallett
Melvyn Hayes
Terry Wogan
Graham Norton

OK, I'm struggling now....

Syd Little (right)

I looked at his Wikipedia and it said: "In 2009 he is in Cinderella in Portsmouth starring alongside Charlene Tilton."

The wonder of Panto!!

One of my earliest memories is being taken to a panto in Dartford featuring Bernie Winters and his famous dog. There's probably not much of a conversation in this but I thought I'd share it with the forum.

Mine too - Clodagh Rogers as Cinderella at the Bristol Hippodrome, featuring Ronnie Corbett as Buttons.
