Welcome back if you notice we're back in our regular studio and -- made it quick wardrobe change and it's very very special reason -- sad reason.

We'd like to take -- -- remember frequent the red -- guests from the summer.

Yes -- -- Roberts the acclaimed British theater and film actor.

Passed away today of natural causes at his home in London he was 65 years olds.

We pause -- to honor this great man.

He looks so young.

For 65 it's really kind of amazing.

We're -- -- if you miss the next two months talking about Victorville where were you when you heard the news.

I heard about it particularly in the game about about three weeks after the fact is you know I don't have a television yes -- and not fond of the Internet but when I did the kid I liked about victory -- -- the actors -- close the -- yeah I mean don't they big throw it on the table it's all about me -- he was very he kept things himself.

He discernible talent yeah I -- -- aware of that yes -- any type of an act.

Accent we don't know yet when it changed Soledad how we -- at tower over -- get to that photo every -- was clueless about that.

I got out and we were we had.

What's it Mike Von Michelson Mike and Bob Michaels and job.

Were you hired to handle -- his handler that night that he died he was supposed to get knighted.

-- god there's still a lot of mystery how did he die.

-- I think.

At the stage of the game whereas now he's just not ask any real questions I mean I was hired to do a job and I did it and we're fine.

But he it was.

Natural so I assure you that's.

I -- waiting for autopsy reports or did you yourself conducting the autopsy that's what I'm concerned about -- my time as though the Hollywood upstairs medical college is of no concern to anyone.

And.

Yeah they'll get it now it's clear that I want to go to anti anti yet.

USC hosted the shows that -- Robert slot when I was out of town -- I never had a chance to meet him.

Column what are your thoughts.

Well I do.

Too many memories -- Greg I as you know probably my first exposure to Victor was of course in that now missing 1965 Doctor Who episode the feast of Stephen.

Victor played the feast.

And what a peace deal was for fans -- great acting I have to say yes and of course I'll never forget the many parties he's posted his flat at the one that we were both back I think in 1979.

You and -- we're doing -- shots with him and Charlie Watts I remember we never did find out who.

The secret ingredient he was putting in those but we do you know they were well name I had no memory of that.

Idea that's why would these -- you never met him I'd started remembering.

How many love shot you actually did yes but I guess I think -- -- most about Victor probably his last words to me we're back at his place here in New York after a taping one of the -- I hosted.

He was showing me an early draft to some he was working on it was a one man stage version of it is enough.

And he suddenly stop it he said Gareth these are not called -- Garrett for some reason garrison said if you don't love yourself then yourself can't love.

I don't know what he meant but not a day goes by that I don't try to figure it out and I think above all that's what Victor did Greg he made you think.

So -- didn't say sir -- Roberts wherever you are you rest in peace so that we may live in peace -- no.
