Sir David Jason who voiced Dangermouse had auditioned for another Cosgrove-Hall production, The Wind in the Willows as Ratty but was thought better as Tosd.
The part of Ratty went to the late Peter Sallis, but Jason also ended up doing the voice of Chief Weasel and Billy the child fieldmouse. David also voiced The BFG cartoon film for Cosgrove-Hall based on Rosld Dahl's book. He found fame as Blanco the old lag in Porridge alongside the late great Ronnie Barker, Granville the put upon errand boy in Open All Hours also with Ronnie, and real fame as Del Boy (Derek) Trotter in Only Fools and Horses sitcom.

Being so old, to me, he found fame in "Do Not Adjust Your Set" as Captain Fantastic - fighting the Evil Blit Men (who were the Bonzo Dog Band with boxes on their heads). Inspired lunacy that led to Monty Python.

This is the earliest surviving aerial photograph, a picture of Boston from 2,000 feet, taken from a hot air balloon on October the 13th 1860.

I forgot he did that BFG cartoon.

I do remember the Wind in the Willows, which I use to love watching when I was a child.

Did you know...

(Mild spoiler for the final episode of Game of Thrones here...)

The reason why Bronn conspiciously absented himself from the conference is because Jerome Flynn and Lena Headley had an acrimoniously relationship in the past, and the production has to keep them apart. They have, to date, only shared one, brief scene in which the two characters didn't speak to each other.

David was a trained gymnast which is why he used to do a lot of the dangerous stunts in his comedy 'The Top Secret Life of Edgar Briggs' which he loosely based on Inspector Clouseau whom he admired(Peter Sellers) but was always a little upset at not being asked to join the Pythons' team.

You should try an catch David Jason - My Life on Screen in three parts on UKtv GOLD channel 110 as it has loads of clips of the above and tells his story from his time growing up in North Finchley to the national treasure he is today.

He was also rather excellent as "Skullion" in C4's adaptation of Tom Sharpe's novel "Porterhouse Blue".

He also starred in drama All the Kings Men as real life soldier Frank Beck and appeared in two Terry Prachett SKY1 productions The Hogfather and The Colour of Magic where he played Rincewind the wizard.

It has been said that it was because he was not a writer, more of a comedy performer/actor. A similar fate befell Tim Brooke-Taylor who had starred with Cleese and Chapman in "At Last the 1948 Show".

Mind you, it was that show, not Python, that spawned the celebrated "Four Yorkshiremen" sketch and Cleese has very generously attributed the idea for that sketch to Brooke-Taylor, denying that he and Chapman had written it.

A similar sketch had already been done in "I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again" on radio so it is possible that the idea originated with Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie along with Brooke-Taylor some years earlier.

I got this fact from the documentary on Canon Films, but I've just been reading Kathleen Turner's autobiography, and she was offered $US15M for "King Solomon's Mines" but turned it down because she didn't want to do another "adventure" movie. So the above may not be true...

Anyway, did you know...

Kathleen Turner went into labour with her first child on the day she finished recording her dialogue for "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"
