Extra of the day: Ray Marioni (b. 1933). A master of the croupier cameo - he pops up in A.B. & C and more than 16 other films and shows spinning the roulette wheel, including our favourite sitcom Duty Free. Marioni also played ‘Al Capone’ in The Man with the Golden Gun.

Eric Mival, The Prisoner’s legendary music editor and Rhyl’s finest, has passed away at the age of 86. Aside from Ron Grainer’s majestic theme, Mival was responsible for choosing the eclectic soundtrack that peppered the series and helped make it so memorable. #ericmival
