Just back from The Ivy; only had to wait three years for a table, amazing what contacts can do.

I had a word with my pal Ray, director of casting, and several snippits were given me, on strict understanding that they were not repeated , of course, so Mum's the word.

Bob McIntyre.................Sean Connery
Joe Erlich...................David Kossof
Dave Croxford................Oliver Reed
Giacomo Agostini.............Zeppo Marx
Barry Sheene.................Harpo Marx
Mick Grant...................Groucho Marx
Big D........................Robbie Coltrane

Some of these people are dead of course, but they will be digitally reborn for the film.
Titling have re-named the TT Races "Island Storm" for better geographical recognition, and banished the climate . Shooting will all be done on Mauritius, with authentic Manx locals in the imported hedgerows.

That gravelly voiced yank chappy has already done the trailer soundtrack, and how important he sounds too.
Will keep in touch, must go for supper .

Michael TT Winner.
