I never collected the De Agostin...Hello Steve,<br /><br /> I never collected the De Agostini part-work for 'the Prisoner,' save for the first two parts. That was only because I wanted the free map which came with the first part, and the video of Koroshi, which came with the second part.<br /><br /> That was not the only error Fairclough made in that part work. I was told that he made the mistake of attributing the phrase "Playing it according to Hoyle" to the wrong Hoyle, he had it as Fred!<br /><br />Regards<br />David<br />BCNUDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-27148867283976839302012-05-27T20:29:02.370+01:002012-05-27T20:29:02.370+01:00Here's a strange coincidence;

On the commentary, Geoffrey Bayldon struggles to remember his name. It's one of those moments you want to actually 'be there' in the sound studio and shout the name into their ear 'ole! <br /><br />"Aubrey...Aubrey...Aubrey...WOODS!", he finally and victoriously announces. Don't get me wrong - I love Mr Bayldon and 'Catweazle' was his finest hour. He was the first choice to play Dr Who for Christ's sake. But just for a moment - I wanted to shake him quite violently.<br /><br />Ironically, Aubrey Woods appeared in the first Dr Who story to feature the Daleks. He also got to sing as the Candy Shop Owner in the original 'Charlie & The Chocolate Factory' (which also features Angelo Muscat...)<br /><br />Now here's the coincidence;<br /><br />When De Agostini covered 'Dance Of The Dead' in their fortnightly 'Prisoner' magazine, they referred to the actor playing the Town Crier as 'Aubrey WOODS'!<br /><br />BCNU... );oBSteveJailbirdMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11936681840889232716noreply@blogger.com
