The boxing
scene between Mister X and the Polish giant Killer Kaminski who turned out to
be Irish! A favourite scene perhaps because I took part in a re-enactment of
the boxing match as Mister X, twice at Prisoner Conventions. The first time the
ring was set up on the chessboard, hundreds of people stood watching. It was
the first time the re-enactment had been performed. On the second occasion it
rained heavily on the Sunday, and the re-enactment was performed in Hercules Hall.
After the bout I remember meeting up with Frank Maher, Patrick McGoohan’s stunt
double. Frank and I put an arm round each other’s shoulder, Frank said that was
the first time he’d done that for a photograph. Frank was a true gentleman, and
a gentle stuntman, he certainly enjoyed watching the re-enactment.
Be seeing you
