    Who could forget Naked Jungle?

    He certainly leaves behind a small body of work.

    But one of life's good guys Cheggers. Is legend a bit strong? Well bollocks to it if I'm not going to use it today when am I?

    Total legend and actually a very underrated actor. Gervais himself said he was one of the most comically gifted people he's worked with.

    'The BBC still run by your queers and Jews?'
    'Pop knob in fanny. Not up the arse.'

    Just tosses them off brilliantly.

    The Christmas special of the otherwise mediocre Life is Short is worth the admission price alone for Keith, Les Dennis and Shaun 'Barry' Williamson.

    RIP Cheggers.

    I don't think I could say I was a fan, however growing up in the late 70's and into the 80's in the UK it would be impossible to say that you weren't aware of Keith Chegwin.
    He had an almost infectious energy and likable presence.
    His turn on Extra's being one of the many highlights of the show.

    RIP Cheggers.

    RIP Keith Chegwin.

    Another memorable person from my childhood growing up. 60 is no age nowadays. Thoughts to his friends and family.

    The casting for DTTM assembled a list of beautiful women that would make any Bond films envious. Elke Sommer, Sylva Koscina, Suzanna Leigh & Virginia North. I want to live in Drummond's world.

    Deadlier Than The Male is one of the great Bond inspired spyfy gems of the genre.
    I've watched it more than a few times. Fits well with the Flint and Helm collections.

    Yes, the films. I haven't read the novels, but I understand that they are quite different to the films (at least the 60's films, which were heavily influenced by Bond).

    I don't remember the Flint films (I have a double pack on them on DVD, but haven't watched them for years). The Helm films are more parodies. I think DTTM is more in line with early Bond, somewhere between FRWL and GF, maybe leaning a little more towards FRWL.

    Sad news. Always liked his two appearances in the Bond films.

    Always loved him in the series, it's always a sad day when a member of the Bond family passes away. RIP Mr. Moses and thanks for all the entertainment.

    Nice montage. Strange though to include Debbie Reynolds but not her daughter Carrie Fisher.

    That is quite an omission, @Tokoloshe.

    More minor, I would have added Tom Petty for his film soundtrack (She's the One) and cameo (The Postman).
    Plus his hit songs used in films of port (The Silence of the Lambs).

    It makes me wonder if there's a specific criterion for inclusion relating to age or cinematic era, or something. Don't know anything about TCM.

    TCM, very late in 2016, re-edited its 2016 TCM Remembers to include Debbie Reynolds. An early 2016 version did include Carrie Fisher.

    Here's the 2016 TCM Remembers. This version did not include either Carrie Fisher nor Debbie Reynolds (nor Zsa Zsa Gabor). But all three were edited in before the end of 2016 on TCM.
