      In the novels, yes. But he's killed off by the "dragon" in the film of Dr No, so a "one-off" there.

        am I holding things up?

        In 1890 Gilbert & Sullivan had a bit of a falling-out over the expense of a new carpet at the Savoy Theatre, which wikipedia has deemed to call "The Carpet Quarrel". They only collaborated twice more, then parted company.

        R to Calorgas.

                  What R links a mate of our urbane friend from recent posts, a mural creator, and a married character who had a soft spot for a shepherd?

                      Thank you M'Lud. Never heard of it ! Although I have two Beatles cds, Sgt. Pepper and Revolver. Does that make me Hip and Trendy?

                        Rumpole was married to She Who Must Be Obeyed and had rather more than a soft spot for the "old sheep of the Lake Distrct"!

                          I guess Raphael did the odd mural, but I can't find any Urbain-friendly Raphaels

                            Neither Raphael nor Rumpole
