Sad to hear one of our finest screen villains has shuffled off his mortal coil. I think these goodies provide a handy tribute. Fangs for the memories.

Musings on the byways of popular culture
Awww. First I’ve heard of his death. To coin a phrase, ‘You did it beautifully!’
How long do we have to wait before we sat doing the ‘Are they sure?” jokes?
ATM: was Christopher Lee the only actor ever to play a man with three nipples?
Roger Moore, though he was acting at the time
Chandler in Friends had 3 nipples.
Drat, you beat me to it.
Wasn’t the the third one a “nubbin”?
‘Triple Nipplers’ include Mark Wahlberg, Lili Allen and Tilda Swinton, apparently.
Dracula, Saruman, Count Dooku and metal
Another one of my childhood heroes gone.
What a career, what a life!
R.I.P.
Seventh rate film goon Jason Solomons was all over the Beeb this afternoon spouting empty platitudes including when a scene from The Wicker Man’ finale came up ‘ Ge was burnt alive at the end of that of course. Not surprised in that jumper, ooh spoilerz!’
Not a spoiler, you utter bellend.
Yet another overpriviledged pillock clogging up the airways. When’s this fucking revolution happening?
Presence. Indefinable, yet self-evident. This man had it in spades.

My best chum used to work in a recording studio in London. The odd celebrity would pop in, mostly for voiceovers for computer games. One day, the door buzzer went – and the voice boomed “Christopher Leeee!”.
There were steps up to the studio. He slowly lurched up the steps, Approaching Menace* . When he got to the top, he flung open the door and again said, loudly, “Christopher Leeee!”.
*AKA the Mastermind theme tune
