Doctor RooI've just realised that Alan Napier was 63 when he was playing Alfred. Gulp! That's my age…
Actually, looking at him, you can see he's in the prime of life. Just a bit of a kid, really.

Annie Hsh 👾🖖☕This morning, I was introduced to the term 'Brontësaurus,' which had me in stitches, and went down the rabbit hole of looking up who else had thought of that portmanteau (like any other normal person with a thriving social life would). Ended up discovering chapter #47 of the Batman '66 digital comic (written by Jeff Parker, with art by Mike Allred and Scott Kowalchuk; screenshot via the BrontëBlog: https://bronteblog.blogspot.com/2014/11/batman-vs-robotic-emily-bronte-saurus.html), which features the villain Bookworm piloting a mechanical steampunk dino, having trapped Batman and Robin inside a gigantic copy of 'Wuthering Heights'.
I'm seriously 1000x more intrigued to read this comic now than to watch the Emerald Fennell film. Chances are, it's probably more respectful to the source material, too.

60 Years Ago - The Batman '66 TV Series
Shortly after I arrived on the planet, a television series appeared featuring a comic book character who would grow to be my favorite of them all. My first recollection of this TV series is actually the film that was based on the first season of the series. In the film, Batman and Robin have to deal with the likes of The Joker ( Caesar Romero ), The Riddler ( Frank Gorshin ), Catwoman ( Lee Meriwhether ), and The Penguin ( Burgess Meredith ).

Blu-ray boxed set worth every penny; introduced ourselves just the other night to 'Bookworm' (#RoddyMcDowell!) - unpublished author taking revenge in fiendishly designed villainy.
And the 35mm film scanned for this release holds detail unavailable to original viewers (noting that USA's NTSC video format had even poorer resolution than Europe's PAL). What else do you suppose was in his library?

12 January 1966
Sixty years ago today, the Batman TV series premiered on ABC, starring Adam West and Burt Ward as Batman and Robin. The first episode, “Hi Diddle Riddle”, pitted the Dynamic Duo against the self-styled ‘Count of Conundrums’, the Riddler (Frank Gorshin).
