I've only just heard myself, quite a surprise considering he was only in his sixties, a sad loss to a distinguished British acting family

Do you know the difference between a surprise and a shock?

For the uninitiated, could someone please explain who Anthony Ainley was, and what he was famous for? Thanks.

He was the actor who took the role of one of Dr Who's arch adversaries and turned him into a pantomime villain. Terribly sorry he's dead, but I'm not going to be all hypocritical and say that I ever thought he was anything other a poor (over)actor. All IMHO, natch!  |

Do you know the difference between a surprise and a shock? shock-Something that jars the mind or emotions as if with a violent unexpected blow. surprise-To encounter suddenly or unexpectedly; take or catch unawares |

so why use 'surprise'? I have never heard anyone calling a death 'quite a suprise'. In the case if a present perhaps, but not a death!

In the case if a present perhaps, but not a death! suprise as in take or catch unawares as in to "take the enemy by suprise", I would say shock was too strong but certainly not a nice suprise if thats what you mean, english is a confusing language (at least it is to me anway) at times which is why e-mails in english can seem so abrupt and agressive or at least they do to me anyway what does spiders web mean? not being up on all the dr who facts and figures |

re Spyders Web .. Mysterious organisation solves cases
that baffle the main authorities.
yes you have heard that before, this one slightly different two girls and a guy (Anthony Ainley)
early 1970s low budget offering from ATV. Chatty, slightly wooden , humourous and entertaining. but probably now smells of cheese.
If the show bores you, you can always just watch Veronica Hurst.

Its not really for me to judge William, one man's meat etc.
I saw one about ten years ago after remembering it fondly. I found it a bit talky yak yak, its heart seemed in the right place though and its still very digestible at the right time of day.
Apparently it all exists in various forms but a lot of the colour versions have gone.
Nice moogy theme tune sequence.
btw my error its Veronica Carlson not Hurst
