Quotes

  • David Maloney was a charming, talented "actor friendly" director and producer. Always cheerful and humorous, he made many a long night-shoot fly past. There is, however, one story in particular he told me that I shall always fondly remember. He and Edwina had a holiday cottage in the Forest of Dean, and one weekend they were there they attended a local agricultural show. David wanted to buy a ladder for use at the cottage and as luck would have it, there was a man selling ladders at the show. After a few moments discussion, the man said to David "And of course there is the farmers' 15% discount." David hurried back to Edwina and complained; "That man took me for a farmer! Edwina immediately replied; "Yes, dear, but a gentleman farmer." Dear David, a sorely missed gentleman.
  • I've never actually watched myself on television.
