Pamela Salem, who portrayed Miss Moneypenny in Never Say Never Again opposite Sean Connery in his final turn as James Bond, has died. She was 80.
Salem died Wednesday in Surfside, Florida, according to Big Finish Productions, for whom she participated in several audio productions.
“Whenever there was a Big Finish recording for her, she’d fly in from Miami on her own steam, without fuss or fanfare, and appear at the studio armed with the warmest smiles, the biggest hugs and often presents,” producer David Richardson said in a statement.
For the BBC’s Doctor Who, Salem played the sandminer pilot Lish Toos on 1977’s “The Robots of Death” and Professor Rachel Jensen on 1988’s “Remembrance of the Daleks.” She reprised both roles for Big Finish in the audio drama series The Robots and radio spinoff series Counter Measures.

To coincide with the final installments of Poirot on Acorn TV, Acorn media are releasing two Agatha Christie boxsets on 5 August. These boxsets include previously released episodes that have been pieced together in best-of-the-best collections that will be a must-have for die-hard fans of the author and her two most famous creations: Poirot and Marple.
Agatha Christie’s Poirot Fan Favorites Collection features David Suchet in six episodes produced across a 25 year time span. Murder on the Orient Express (Series 12, 2010); Hercule Poirot’s Christmas (Series 6, 1995); The Mysterious Affair at Styles (Series 3, 1990); The ABC Murders (Series 4, 1992); The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb (Series 5, 1993); and Four and Twenty Blackbirds (Series 1, 1989). As a story, Murder on the Orient Express ranks as one of my favorites and this particular adaptation is very good. It’s somewhat surprising that ITV waited until 2010 to produce a Suchet version of the...

Dr Zhivago
By Kieran Kinsella
British TV specialists Acorn Media have decided to capitalize on the wintery weather by releasing the critically acclaimed 2003 version of Boris Pasternak’s snow swept epic Dr Zhivago. This 2 disc set is for mature audiences only and includes the unedited UK version of the 225 minute revolutionary drama. Additionally, the box set includes 70 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage including cast interviews, and you also get a mini-biography of Pasternak.
As an avid fan of the 1965 film version of this same book, I was a little bit skeptical when I first heard about the small screen version. However, my fears were without foundation as this ITV production is just as enthralling as David Lean’s version and many people would argue that it is also closer to Pasternak’s book. That being said, BBC veteran writer Andrew Davies does a very good job of converting the wordy dialogue...

On 28 February North American fans of British TV can get their hands on two new Acorn Media DVD releases:French Fields and The Brief. Fans of PBS may be familiar with the former while the latter was an ITV show that was produced by the Inspector Morse team. Both offer great value for money and we were fortunate enough to get a sneak peak at both of these box sets.
French Fields
The late Anton Rodgers was a much loved funny man who made his name relatively late in life when he starred in the popular sitcom Fresh Fields alongside Miss Marple star Julia McKenzie. French Fields is a hilarious spin-off from that show in which accountant William (Rodgers) and...

While it isn't the final outing ever for William and Hester Fields, set 2 of Fresh Fields marks the end of the four-season series, filled with more of the couple's zany antics. The show, which originally aired in the late 1980s, finally debuted series 3 and 4 on DVD in the Us on October 4.
The show has maintained its charm, trite as it might be. Anton Rodgers is the loving husband William, while Julia McKenzie (Marple) is Hester, the hyperactive but lovable wife.
The show features the classic structure of silly misunderstandings causing rifts between the couple. In one of the most cliche outings, Hester believes William's suddenly secret behavior means that he is cheating on her. Surprise! He's planning a surprise birthday party. While that plot could come from any sitcom ever made, it's the show's heart that sets it apart, not it's plot. There's not a shred of mean-spiritedness in the entire show.
