I with Franky on this one. I found Rollason's performance to have a very warm mawkish charm about him. I've done a little review of Mission to Montreal elsewhere on the forum where you can read my own thoughts on the episode

I emailed her a few years back, inspired by this episode. I don't normally "fan mail" anyone. She was really sweet about it, and remembered the episode with affection.

Really? How interesting. What did she say about it?

I'd love to tell, but sadly it's on my dead PC whose power supply gave up the ghost a while back... Nevertheless I have fond memories of hearing from one of the Avengers alumni! (Now if only I could contact Jon Rollason!)

Too bad. That was kind of her to write you back, though. And if you get ahold of Jon Rollason, let me know!

I love the pic of Pat and Honor you've done to illustrate your reviews! Very red!

Cheers Dandy! I'll be matching colours with the sets. No images this week as I've been ill and am very busy with work...
