I get to see him every Christmas when I watch "A Christmas Carol"
with Alastair Sim as Scrooge.

The photo above shows a very young Macnee (r.) as the young
Jacob Marley with George Cole as the young Scrooge (l.)

That is the ONLY Christmas Carol. Forgot he was in that, yes.

He did Patrick MacKnee Ghost stories, with that great English gentleman voice of his. Very interesting and well done.

I got the DVD, I figure one day they will stop showing vintage films on tv.

That one is THE definitive version ( and I’ve seen them ALL; including the silent one )and have watched it every Christmas Eve since I was a child.

THE greatest version of the story, Sim’s performance is a timeless joy.
