Thank you, Alan.
"The Terrornaughts" sounds fascinating ("Dalek-influenced")! I don't know whether any episodes survive of 1965 and 1966 Mask of Janus/Spies series, but it would be wonderful if it did.
I shall be seeing new things with Simon Oates in, I am sure, I have lots of archive telly to watch - and whenever I see him I'll remember what a lovely fella he showed himself to be.
Simon Oates (1932-2009)

Hadn't seen your comment earlier, Franky. I'm sure that Simon would've been touched by it.

no doubt...interesting fellow...fast fading from the acting landscape.Alan wrote:I know what you mean, and wanted to be sure that Simon was happy for it to be included in the interview. I did feel it was potentially 'trouble', but he was very happy with the finished interview when he read it (I sent him a printed version last December). In fact, he thought it was 'fornicating marvellous!' - his exact words...
I miss him.
