Powerhouse Films - producers of the newly remastered 1973 movie Assassin (to be released on Blue Ray with other Pemini productions in May) - asked me to make a little commentary on the career of the film's star, Ian Hendry. As you probably remember, I wrote Ian's biography, Send in the Clowns, so I ...

Yes, great stuff, Neil. Those documents were very interesting. Thanks for making them all available. 300 pounds per episode on The Avengers, wasn't it? I think by the time Ian did The Lotus Eaters in 1972 he was being paid about 500 pounds an episode. But by the time the taxman took his cut it's not...

Readers may be interested in finding out more about Get Carter, filmed in 1970 a full nine years after Ian left The Avengers. It's interesting that Ian played bad guys so well. Look at his performance in The Hill for confirmation. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why Ian never became an internati...

This is an old interview from 1960, recently discovered, in which Ian talks about his life and Police Surgeon. It also features Ian's first wife Joanna. http://ianhendry.com/ian-hendry-police-surgeon-the-avengers-joanna-janet-munro-britt-ekland-peter-sellers/ Plenty more information in my biography ...

The book includes detailed reminiscences from many big names in the business like Britt Ekland, Roger Moore, Bruce Montague, Wanda Ventham, Roy Thinnes, Annette Andre, Mike Hodges and Honor Blackman. It also goes behind the scenes on many classic TV plays such as Afternoon of a Nymph (on which Ian m...

Alan's book is very professionally produced and an absolute joy to read through. I'm sure that all Ian Hendry aficionados will also appreciate the dedication to Ian. Congratulations again to Alan and Richard for producing such a meticulously researched book. Let's hope that more missing episodes are...

Thanks for your kind words about my biography of Ian Hendry. Please spread the word!!

Bruce Montague told me, after I had completed the biography of Ian, that Ian had once confided to him that he did regret leaving The Avengers too soon. But, as we know, that is with the benefit of hindsight. When Ian left he felt - as Neil has pointed out - that he was on the brink of a lucrative fi...
