    Well done Mr D.

    IMO the Bernard Samson books are some of the finest cold war novels ever written. RIP Mr Deighton

    • Bill Roache can’t last much longer, Gelderd.

      He’s now older than Albert Tatlock, Ena Sharples and Minnie Caldwell combined. Only thing was, they knew when to call it a day.

      A near 100 year old Ken, still doddering about the now ludicrous and unrecognisable Street is beyond a joke.

    • The Yellow Beatle Eater has now handed all her old man’s business and legacy to their son Sean. So, I reckon the Ono could be be measured for a box pretty soon.

  15. Len Deighton 1st Class writer. SSGB was the first of his books 4 me. Read The Eagle Has Landed so many times my Paperback fell apart. Watched Ipcress Files countless times but never read the book. Must remedy that. RIP Len. LEGEND.

    • Bugger I deliver a dirty big fatwa upon the lice ridden head of unworthy cunt Duke of Cuntstable who has filched my Supreme Leader. I will have Ali Larijani (head of Iran intelligence) instead.

      • Double Bugger Ali Larijani is now Dead Ali. .Have Amir Hatami (Army Chief) instead.

    • Alas Chuckie Norris ducked out on us while in Hawaii last week – cause of death unknown. Yes I know – the feeling….
