Well, Doctor Who does pop up a fair bit in the interview - but it's a legitimate part of the Golden Voyage of Sinbad story, so that's fine.



The interview is an absolute joy, as you might expect - 50% on-topic reminiscences (he ranges over the bulk of his pre-Doctor Who career, including Rasputin) and 50% rambling nonsense, but he's so ridiculously entertaining that the editor was asked to give it the lightest possible trimming to preserve as much as he decently could without actually serving up unvarnished raw footage.

Or that episode of 'Black Adder' he was in!

I don't think he mentions either of those at all!

Any mention of Pasolini's Canterbury Tales?

Not that I recall, but that's just about the only pre-Golden Voyage omission. There's a hilarious story about starring in a disastrous production of Macbeth that appears to have anticipated Peter O'Toole's comedy turn by nearly a decade.

the Harryhausen Collection 55-60 is a strange one? The 3 Worlds of Gulliver doesn't really sit well with the 3 B&W sci-fis.

Wow, that's quite the screw up from Amazon.

Based on John le Carré's first novel, Call for the Dead (which introduced spymaster George Smiley), The Deadly Affair sees an ageing British secret agent (James Mason) set out to uncover the truth behind a government employee's apparent suicide. Eschewing the glamour of the era’s Bond thrillers, Lumet's chilling and intelligent take on the spy drama presents a palpable and darkly sinister picture of Cold War intrigue. The exemplary cast also includes Maximilian Schell, Harriet Andersson, Harry Andrews, Roy Kinnear and Lynn Redgrave.
