To prolong further agony he is due to attend Stephen Gately's funeral tomorrow.

Hope he get well and attend the Children In Need at the Royal Albert Hall next month as he is organising it.

Joseph Wiseman, James Bond’s Dr. No, Dies at 91
Published: October 20, 2009

Joseph Wiseman, a longtime stage and screen actor most widely known for playing the villainous title character in “Dr. No,” the first feature film about James Bond, died on Monday at his home in Manhattan. He was 91.

His daughter, Martha Graham Wiseman, confirmed the death, saying her father had recently been in declining health.

Released in 1962, “Dr. No” was the first in what proved to be a decades-long string of Bond movies. Starring Sean Connery and Ursula Andress, the film featured Mr. Wiseman as Dr. Julius No, the sinister scientist who was Bond’s first big-screen adversary.

Mr. Wiseman’s other film credits include “Detective Story” (1951); “Viva Zapata!” (1952); “The Garment Jungle” (1957); “The Unforgiven” (1960); “The Night They Raided Minsky’s” (1968) and “The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz” (1974).

The multi-millionaire revived Donington as a motor-racing venue in the 1970s at a cost of £100,000.

Last week Donnigton failed to raise the cash to upgrade the track so that the British F1 Grand Prix could be staged there next year.

My thoughts are with you Nick.
