TCM just showed THE WICKER MAN last week, and I'm glad I watched it. It's one of the best musicals of the 70s, and I'm shocked it hasn't been adapted for the stage, yet. It's the outdoors element that probably holds that back…

I first saw Breaker Morant on a trans-Atlantic flight when I was 10-years old. I didn't really appreciate what I was seeing. Seeing it again years later, I came to appreciate both the story and actors in it much more. I watched it once for ethics training and discussion at West Point – US Military Academy. Later I would love the Equalizer and always felt that it was toned down too much for TV. I appreciate that it did not insult the audience with too much exposition, but implied tremendous backstory. A wonderful tribute to Mr. Woodward and now I will have to watch Hot Fuzz.

Wow, I'm all teary eyed now, thanks Edgar, that was a great tribute. I agree about The Wicker Man, I didn't even bother seeing the new one, I have no understanding why great movies like that are even considered being remade. I wish the best to his family, he sounds like he was a great guy. ish you the best as well.

I was so sad when i found out that Edward had died in Truro Hospital, I used to go to his home every year to check that his drainage system, Edward was always there and he used to tell me about all his TV work that he did over many years, Edward will be sadly missed by all who new him.

I remember a hilarious episode of THE LONE GUNMEN (X-FILES spinoff) with a superintelligent chimp who communicated via keyboard and voice modulator. Edward Woodward did the voice. The Lone Gunmen kept asking, “Why do you sound like Edward Woodward? Are you British?” (CHIMP TYPING AT KEYBOARD, COMPUTER VOICE OF EDWARD WOODWARD:) “No I'm not British! I simply like the voice of Edward Woodward!”
