    Thank you, Pleater, for sparking off some wonderfully sunny memories.
    Wow! You know "Lt. Francis Farewell"? I thought he was wonderful in Shaka Zulu, and he's always impressed me with his acting "chops" (as we say). Hamish, you should write a book!

    I was thinking of Gen. Sir Brian Horrocks in "A Bridge too Far" myself.

    But it was "The Day of the Jackal" that made Edward a household name. Yes, I've known him and his wife, Joanna David, for years. Their daughter, Emilia, is now an accomplished actress in her own right and I clearly remember the excitement of her birth!
