I love the end to that production, so full of hope which I can feel myself despite being a "100% crumpet man" as Harold Steptoe would put it.

He was very, very good in a film called The Wild and the Willing, which was filmed in of all places Lincoln. I believe he even lived and was educated in Lincoln for a while as well. Sadly the film isn't on DVD but I managed to get a print from somewhere The cast is a pot pourri of British film and television and was also Ian McShane's first ever professional work on film.

Superb on BBC Brekkie - I'm dying to see Tinker, Tailor...
Stephen Fry told me a wonderful story about when he was making the film V For Vendetta in Germany and having dinner with Hurt and the actor playing the lead (in a mask) who spent the entire meal saying how impossible it was to act whilst in prosthetics. Fry and Hurt just looked at each other (Elephant Man).
