RIP to the great Walter Koenig, who brilliantly played Psi Cop Bester on all five seasons of Babylon 5. A frightening performance by a wonderful man.

With the sad news of Walter Koenig’s passing today at 90, Creation’s Adam Malin and Gary Berman share memories of working with Walter over the years. “Thanks, Walter. We still remember in 1979 when you became the first Star Trek guest to grace our stages. Your boundless energy, your scathing wit, your academic insight and your warm personality made all of us love you. “Whether you were riding on stage with Marc Leonard in a Ford Model T as Tom Sawyer in The Boys In Autumn; shrieking in agony with that Ceti eel larva in your ear in Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan; brain blasting innocents as the nefarious Psi Cop Bester in Babylon 5; or getting thrown across the bar by gorilla-sized Klingons in ‘Trouble with Tribbles,’ we were always on your side rooting for you. “Over your 47-year tenure on Creation stages, you never ceased to entertain and thrill your audiences with your biting reminiscences of Hollywood, your infectious humor, and self-effacing humility. The Alpha quadrant has grown a little darker with your passing and you will be remembered fondly, with love and reverence." Your Creation Family

Rest in Peace Walter Koenig. Thank you for navigating us through the final frontier, and bringing us such joy through your years of activism, writing, and memorable characters like the joyous Chekov and the sinister Bester. We're forever grateful that you lent your talents to our game. We'll see you again, in the stars.

The Further Adventures of Lucky Jim - The Big Smoke (1st November 1982). Jim (Enn Reitel) strikes up a conversation with Lucy Simmons (Glynis Barber) but it's somewhat derailed after Kevin (Steven Pacey) makes an appearance.

A life in acting. It’s been good to me. Richly rewarding and utterly ridiculous… in equal measure. 😄 Long may it continue!

Eight years ago today I was attending the launch of actress Angela Douglas' new novel, Josephine, with friends Valerie Leon & agent Barry Langford. I miss Angela. She's in a home now and her memory is poor. Happy memories of many fun times together. I miss that Angela so much.

Jaz Wiseman: "The perfect match of Edwin Astley's driving theme with colourful graphics make the Department S opening titles amongst the most memorable from 1960s British television." Jaz explores the design & visual style of ITC in his wonderful book ITC Entertained the World.

I made a little show as an extra for BBC Radio 4 Extra (pretty much in my own time): it’s being repeated to mark 20 years since the death of Nigel Kneale. This sort of bonus (dare I say it Reithian?) content will not be possible once the station goes: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0016jc…
