Note - this issue contains a flexi-disc that features Patrick Macnee and Diana
Rigg making acceptance speeches for the "Golden Otto". The voice
artist who dubbed Patrick Macnee may also be on this, but it could also be the
quality of the flexi-disc. Thanks to Uwe from Germany I now know that
the voice-artist who dubbed Patrick Macnee for German audiences was Gert G.
Hoffman, who also dubbed Sean Connery, and William Shatner's Captain Kirk.
(Now there's a Trivial Pursuit question for you). Sadly, he died last
year.
