I had a terrible job letting me do anything that wasn't comedy.
We worked solidly for a long time together. George Marriott Edgar and myself.
Oh, yes, we were on location with Another Man's Poison, which I wrote for Bette Davis.
I don't know how we had about eighteen international stars in it, all playing James Bond.
And then she finally said yes. And we have been married, I want you to know, for 51 years.
Yes, The Persuaders, that was great fun because one of my favourite actors is Roger Moore.
And he said that he wrote the Bond character based on the character of David Niven. That's how he saw Bond.
At those times I got into... I suppose you call it a rut. I used to do comedy, comedy, comedy and I suddenly thought I ought to break away from this somehow.
No, we didn't shoot... in the ones that I did there were hardly any sex... there were suggestions of sex scenes but we never actually shot a sex scene as such.
Well, yes, as I was a rather bad actor then and I wasn't making enough money, I thought, to make enough money to not make money as an actor, I'd better do some writing.
