    Whovians are in mourning today : Paddy Russell, who directed some of the most beloved episodes of Classic Who ("The Massacre", "Invasion of the Dinosaurs", "Pyramids of Mars" and "Horror of Fang Rock") has passed away, aged 89 :

    RIP

    It might be one of those stories that doesn't have a good reputation among fans, but I quite like Invasion Of The Dinosaurs.

    Alas, she's not the only one in the world of Who to have left us : Legendary composer Dudley Simpson has passed away, aged 95. He was responsible for the music of so many classic episodes, but also the man behind the theme of Blake's 7. After watching "The Leisure Hive" and "Meglos", I can tell that the series lost a lot by replacing him and his band by synths. Yes, I know, it was the 80s, but still...

    For a few of his compositions (among others).

    I was there. It was even better in person. Mr. Benson has done this before, going as far back as the 1994 James Bond convention in Los Angeles.

    RIP to Karin Dor, one of the more intriguing Bond beauties. While she played a minor character in YOLT, those little shots of sympathy I felt for Brandt as she was ordered around by Blofeld, and the fear you could see pouring out of her when the villain was in the room, were nice "choices" made by Dor in her performance that make her memorable. And of course the great interaction between her and Sean punctuated with his, "Well, enjoy yourself."

    She will be missed.

    Ugh, that's horrible. One of my favorite, most underrated Bond girls for sure, in a criminally underrated film. Always love her scenes in Osato's office.

    Damn. Karin Dor was one of my favorite Bond femme fatales. Underrated, IMO.

    Many years ago in my other life I was lucky enough to have dinner with him and my late friend Keith a simple supper of spaghetti and meatballs with his own sauce which he taught me to make
    A lovely gentle man I will miss him greatly RIP Antonio.
    By way of tribute this weekend I will make his Bread&Buttter Pudding with Panatone.

    Rest in peace, Karin Dor.

    For some reason, I remembered most vividly that slightly sinister, slightly playful stare she shoots at Bond when she is opening the bar in Osato's office. Great stuff.

    These recent losses really make one feel the weight of Bond's 50-plus year history.

    RIP Karin Dor. She played a memorable SPECTRE agent in YOLT for sure. Sad to hear this news.

    What was a little odd, was, that she was dubbed in the German version although she was German. Maybe she was not available to do her German voice acting.

    I may also watch YOLT tonight.

    Karin Dor was great in Hitchcock's 'Topaz'. She really shone in that film. That shot of her falling to the floor as her dress billows out beneath her is masterful.

    It could be completely erroneous but I have some vague recollection of someone claiming there was in fact a subtle nod to this scene by Campbell in CR as Vesper rushes through St Marks Square.
