Ian McShane on how he came to be narrator on Grace Jones’ Slave To The Rhythm:
‘I was in a chip shop with my wife Gwen, and Trevor Horn came in, who I’d known forever. He said ‘Ian, what are you doing after supper?’
‘Why?’
‘Well, I need a voice & Orson Welles is dead.’

‘When he was making Raise The Titanic, which lost a lot of money, he said:
‘It would have been cheaper to lower the Atlantic.’
He said to me: ‘You know I’m very glad you’re playing this part, Ian.’
‘Really, Richard?’
‘Because you remind me of Elizabeth.’
‘Well, that’s nice.’ I said.
