Podcast appearances and mentions of Shane Rimmer

ANDREW-MARK THOMPSON on the voices behind the puppets.First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on March 16th 2025.This week we welcome back our old friend ANDREW-MARK THOMPSON who's making a much-postponed return to VISION ON SOUND. ANDY is the one of our regular contributors to the show who I feel is our expert on all things to do with the GERRY ANDERSON productions of which he is an enormous fan, so, when DAVID GRAHAM, the much loved actor responsible for giving us the voices of PARKER and BRAINS in THUNDERBIRDS - as well as a whole host of other brilliant performances - died in September last year at the grand old age of ninety-nine, we had planned to get together and record a show in his honour, but various gremlins got into the works, so it never happened.Instead we attempted to regroup in January and broaden our scope into a discussion about the many actors who performed in series such as FOUR FEATHER FALLS, FIREBALL XL5, THUNDERBIRDS, CAPTAIN SCARLET and, most particularly STINGRAY, so that's what we attempted to do during the next hour, as we discuss, amongst others, the work of names such as RAY BARRETT, SHANE RIMMER, LOIS MAXWELL, and, of course the wonderful DAVID GRAHAM. You may not have known some of their faces, but their voices shaped a generation.Now, obviously, those gremlins really don't appreciate a tryer, and, despite our persistence, there were still some sound issues during this recording, for which I can only apologise, and which all seems somewhat ironic, given that we were simply trying to talk about voice performers, and the great joy they brought to people over the years.Anyway, because we had such an enjoyable hour, I've done my best to salvage what I could, and I hope that you'll find this fun conversation worth sticking with despite any of the slight sound issues that there may still be.PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition. All the spoken word content remains (mostly) as it was in the broadcast version. Hopefully this won't spoil your enjoyment of the show.

Andy & Martin almost meet their match in the 1975 series Quiller. But once they get past the first 10 dreadful minutes of its opening episode they find much to enjoy in this Bond-on-a-budget BBC spy series starring Michael Jayston in the title role. However, it would be lazy to say Quiller simply knocks off Bond, because Elleston Trevor's Quiller is quite different to 007. He doesn't like guns or gadgets and doesn't let women distract him from the job in hand. It's not a cheap series either. As well as some inevitable stock footage there's heaps of exotic location filming in Germany, Malta and beyond. Jayston plays Quiller with a cool and appealing detachment. He is joined by Angus Kinloch (Moray Watson) as the Controller of the mysterious Bureau, and Rosalind (Sinead Cusack) who has more agency than most women on TV in 1975. At one point she even threatens to pinch Quiller's bottom! The series boasts many familiar writers and directors of the time such as Brian Clemens, Peter Graham Scott, Anthony Read, and Viktors Ritelis. Guest stars are aplenty: Patrica Hodge, Shane Rimmer, Celia Gregory, Ed Bishop, and Lalla Ward to name just a few. Andy & Martin select 5 of the 13 episodes to review in depth and find much to enjoy in this largely forgotten series that they believe deserves to be much better known. Next Time: Rockliffe's Babies

On this episode of The James Bond A-Z Podcast hosts Tom Butler and Brendan Duffy explore the characters and creatives behind the 007 films that fall under the letter R. Topics covered include: R, the Quartermaster played by John Cleese in The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day. Dubbing legend Robert Rietty whose Bond credits are numerous. Honey Ryder, the first ever Bond girl played by Ursula Andress in Dr. No. Charles Robinson, the Pierce Brosnan-era MI6 staff member, and Bond stand-in, played by Colin Salmon in three 007 films. Tatiana Romanova, the From Russia With Love character, played by Italian actor Daniela Bianchi. Charles Russhon, a behind-the-scenes military veteran who was the Bond film's Mr Fix It in the early years. We also take a look at the work of John Richardson, Simon Raven, Claude Renoir, Michael Reed, Shane Rimmer and George Roubicek. If you want to take part in our 60th anniversary special, record a clip of yourself talking about your favourite, under-appreciated Bond movie moment and email the audio file (under 2 minutes please) to podcast@jamesbondatoz.co.uk before 26 September, 2022.

Gary Martin was blessed with a golden voice that suddenly appeared one day during choir practice. Since that breaking in, he has become one of the world's premier voice artists, performing in films, television, commercials, movie trailers, adverts and much more. He also has fond memories of growing up watching Gerry Anderson shows and creating his own stories with a tape recorder. From these beginnings, he went on to work with Gerry, Ed Bishop, and Shane Rimmer on numerous projects including the Return of the Mysterons, Space Police, Space Precinct, the dreaded GFI, and many more!

In episode 10 of Another Time, MacLeod! (16:51-18:06), Robs Wallis (Twitter: @robertmwallis) and Daniel (@rob_a_daniel) are joined again by Dr. Chris Cooling (@chriscooling7) to talk about Highlander's return to the present, Connor's attempt to flee Madison Square Garden, and his resulting arrest. Topics of discussion include film student cliches, "old movies" (like Silence of the Lambs, apparently), late great character actors Edward Wiley & Shane Rimmer, New York filming, Brooklyn accents, and the incoherent text. Please be aware that the character of Garfield, played by Edward Wiley, makes use of homophobic slurs that are included in the podcast. Not to do so would be to ignore a key aspect of his character, which will be explored in future episodes. Chris teaches at the College of Lake County in Chicago, Illinois. These include a number of online courses: https://www.clcillinois.edu/programs-and-classes/online/online-course-offerings.

Scott Tracy, pilot of Thunderbird 1, is probably one of the best-known and loved characters of any Gerry Anderson series, and a key part to that success is down to his voice - provided by the inimitable Shane Rimmer.

Episode 3 : Dr. Strangelove & Me with Shane Rimmer. Canadian born actor Shane Rimmer talks to Kubrick's Universe about his time on set shooting Dr. Strangelove with Stanley Kubrick in 1963. Shane Rimmer (born 28 May 1929) is a Canadian actor, voice actor and screenwriter, known for providing the voice of Scott Tracy in the British television series Thunderbirds (1965–66). Rimmer has appeared in many films and television series produced in the United Kingdom, having immigrated to England in the late 1950s, initially performing as a cabaret singer before auditioning for Thunderbirds. His appearances include roles in films such as Dr. Strangelove (1964), Rollerball (1975), The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), Gandhi (1982), Out of Africa (1985) and Crusoe (1989). More recently, he has appeared in Spy Game (2001) and Batman Begins (2005). In the earlier years of his career, Rimmer appeared uncredited in, among other films, You Only Live Twice(1967), Diamonds Are Forever (1971), Star Wars (1977) and Superman 2 (1980). With the exception of cast members playing recurring characters, he has appeared in more James Bond films than any other actor. He also is believed to have provided the voice for the character Hamilton (played by Robert Dix) in Live & Let Die (1973).

Bond is back, and Connery is playing him—for one last, tired, somewhat out-of-shape, slightly graying time. The cars are American, the dames are American, the villains are campy, and the action is weak, but it's not so bad. It's got sausage king Jimmy Dean! I follow the threads of a plot where Bond actually does some investigating, albeit one in which he himself overcomplicates things for no reason. I examine Bond's need to put the whole murdered-wife-being-the-result-of-his-own-incompetence thing behind him. And I also examine why M feels the need to be such a jerk to the guy who repeatedly saved Europe from the most wanted man since Hitler. I suggest that what is difficult is not necessarily spectacular and that an elephant that hits a jackpot ought to be able to buy its freedom. I examine the wisdom of creating doubles of yourself when you're holed up in a penthouse you never leave. Also I further explore my theory of Blofeld's secret pathological need to be a philanthropist. I can't remember Denise Richards' name. I forget to mention that Charles Gray (Blofeld here) was Bond's wooden-legged-and-doomed contact in You Only Live Twice. I do successfully identify Bond semi-regular Shane Rimmer. Oh, and I sing part of the theme song. So, you know, don't miss that.
