Milton!



Milton Reid makes a very brief appearance in the 1971 Jason King episode 'From Russia With Panache' and ends up getting beaten up by the flamboyant Mr. King and chucked down a lift shaft. Nice to see him in a costume, though, instead of that rather tired brown jerkin ensemble. He rounds off his somewhat nautical look here by tucking his trousers into a pair of knee high leather boots (not pictured). Milton is an inveterate trouser tucker, but he was born in India, so perhaps he was scared of snakes.

Speaking of Jason King / Peter Wyngarde, he's been absent from these pages for far too long. The place just isn't the same without him, so I'll have to do something about that, won't I?.

F*** Me, It's Freddie!


FMIF as Mr. Quirly in a 1971 episode of 'Jason King'. Note how tall Freddie is (Peter Wyngarde is five foot ten, and he's not all hunched up like Freddie), and how cool they both are in their very different ways.

Look Who's Back...





One of the benefits of having a bit of time off is watching films and television programmes that don't normally wash up on 'The Island' and, occasionally, being surprised by them.

Case in point: the new 'Napoleon Dynamite' cartoon, which is not only very funny but also pays tribute to our old friends Jason King / Peter Wyngarde in the form of Professor Koontz, Napoleon's ever so suave British science teacher.

It's good to be back. Oh, and don't forget that there's now This Is Not The Universe for all your non horror and smut related needs.
