Honor Blackman has died aged 94.

Bummer! Another one of my teenage fantasies gone.

I fancied her in that thing with Paul McGann in the 80s. Looking at her age now she must have been in her late 50s then!

[Patrick Thistle]

Terrible pun, Snake. Kudos.

[tracteurgarcon]

Sad news, although decent innings and all that.

What with Bill Withers the other day its been a bad week for celebs whose names are punchlines to old jokes, bet Fatima Whitbread is crapping herself.

[Jah Womble]

I don't think that's a symptom, is it?

(RIP, Honor B.)

The Upper Hand?

i remember that from when I was a kid in the early 90s

It was Paul's brother Joe in The Upper Hand.

HB was very striking, while essentially the same, in everything she appeared in. I saw her in an early '70s episode of Columbo the other weekend, quite a prestigious guest spot at the time. She also published a self defence manual, which would sit happily on the shelf next to the Len Deighton cook book.

I met her once, about 20 years ago. I booked her to present a 'James Bond' concert which our orchestra was giving. She was rather 'high maintenance' but absolutely charming in person.
RIP

RIP. I hope to mark her passing by watching something off my DVD set of the wonderful Season 3 of the Avengers.
