I think I shall watch The Wrath of Khan and The Voyage Home tonight. Always enjoyed Walter Koenig as Chekhov. He was great in Babylon 5 too. Immortalised in popular culture forever : RIP sir xx

Susan Saint James is gone at 80.
Sunday nights with McMillan & Wife. Then Kate & Allie, back when TV still made us laugh without lecturing us.
She was part of our living rooms for twenty years.
Rest easy, Susan. Thanks for the good years.

Susan Saint James, the Emmy-winning actress who starred opposite Rock Hudson in “McMillan & Wife” and Jane Curtin in the CBS sitcom “Kate & Allie,” died Monday at 80 years old after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Saint James’ family described her as someone “generous with her time and energy, which she valued more than money, and instinctively drawn to whoever needed lifting up. She taught her children to pause, be kind and look out for other people. She never met a stranger. Every person she met became the most important person in the room at that moment, from a fellow board member to the clerk at the shoe store, who usually walked away knowing her entire life story.” (via People)

RIP to the great Walter Koenig, who brilliantly played Psi Cop Bester on all five seasons of Babylon 5. A frightening performance by a wonderful man.

With the sad news of Walter Koenig’s passing today at 90, Creation’s Adam Malin and Gary Berman share memories of working with Walter over the years.
“Thanks, Walter. We still remember in 1979 when you became the first Star Trek guest to grace our stages. Your boundless energy, your scathing wit, your academic insight and your warm personality made all of us love you.
“Whether you were riding on stage with Marc Leonard in a Ford Model T as Tom Sawyer in The Boys In Autumn; shrieking in agony with that Ceti eel larva in your ear in Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan; brain blasting innocents as the nefarious Psi Cop Bester in Babylon 5; or getting thrown across the bar by gorilla-sized Klingons in ‘Trouble with Tribbles,’ we were always on your side rooting for you.
“Over your 47-year tenure on Creation stages, you never ceased to entertain and thrill your audiences with your biting reminiscences of Hollywood, your infectious humor, and self-effacing humility. The Alpha quadrant has grown a little darker with your passing and you will be remembered fondly, with love and reverence."
Your Creation Family

Rest in Peace Walter Koenig. Thank you for navigating us through the final frontier, and bringing us such joy through your years of activism, writing, and memorable characters like the joyous Chekov and the sinister Bester. We're forever grateful that you lent your talents to our game. We'll see you again, in the stars.

A life in acting.
It’s been good to me. Richly rewarding and utterly ridiculous… in equal measure. 😄
Long may it continue!

Leo G Carroll, born #OTD in 1886, was a @RadioTimes cover star 60 years ago, when he played spymaster Mr Waverley in The Man from UNCLE. He was joined by Robert Vaughn (who played Napolen Solo), David McCallum (Illya Kuryakin) and Stefanie Powers (April Dancer).

Eight years ago today I was attending the launch of actress Angela Douglas' new novel, Josephine, with friends Valerie Leon & agent Barry Langford.
I miss Angela. She's in a home now and her memory is poor. Happy memories of many fun times together. I miss that Angela so much.

I made a little show as an extra for BBC Radio 4 Extra (pretty much in my own time): it’s being repeated to mark 20 years since the death of Nigel Kneale. This sort of bonus (dare I say it Reithian?) content will not be possible once the station goes:
