The accompanying newspaper article came out as a major spoiler to the episode of the BBC’S Who Do You Think You Are program about the actor who became world famous playing Tolkien’s wizard Gandalf – Sir Ian Mckellan, which finally aired last night on BBC1.

I’ll have to watch for his episode over here on BBC.
Always interesting to see the vintage images and what made a person who they are.

Thanks, Jack. Really interesting. I’ve sen Ian Mckellen in lots of films but knew little about him.
Gandalf does stick!

He is one hell of an actor. An old friend and fellow actor Sir John Hurt just passed away aged seventy-seven. Who’s next? Not Ian I hope, nor Sir Patrick Stewart…
