See, this is what p!sses me off about general obituary threads. Jason reports the death of Lewis Collins, who he probably doesnt remember, and thats it! Lewis Collins was easily the favorite to take over the Sean Connery 'James Bond' role, having starred in the succesful TV series The Profesionals, but Roger Moore somehow got the nod. In between Connery and Moore, Male model George Lazenby gave it a go in one Bond film, and it bombed! I wonder how things would have worked out if Collins had got the role, as was planned, instead of Roger Moore.

Have you heard about the new improved Viagra tablets code named 007?

They make you Roger Moore....

Blimey, nicely misplaced blown gasket there.

And er, yes, I do remember Lewis Collins, thankyou very much.

Peter O'Toole. He was an actor for those that don't know who he is. He may have Irish or he may have been English, but he was a fine Shakespearian actor.

Note. Shakespeare was a playwright from the 1500s just in case you weren't aware. Doubt if he is big in America, given he's dead.

You have indeed sir. They never spoke to each other again after falling out in the 70's.
