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. |

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.

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.

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. |

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?"
