an all time favourite film of mine, sad day, hoping it'll be shown on the box over Christmas, although I do have it on DVD.

What a great film CCBB was, and it's amazing to think Dick Van Dyke is still going strong at 96.

First film I ever went to see at the cinema, probably never got the Hollywood big break she deserved after CCBB but still had a illustrious career on stage and TV.
RIP
PS Dick Van Dyke still going strong at 96, having been clean and sober for over 50 years, and with Mrs Van D Mark 3 who's only just turned 50!
Well played old boy

Indeed, and I especially echo that comment about Dead of Night. Apparently during the war they weren't allowed to make horror films (probably on the reasonable assumption that the war was horrific enough), so that was one of the first if not the first post-war horror film. And even that had a comic section (the golf story).
She was also in another great ghost film: The Halfway House (1944). Notable for the bit of film trivia that the father/daughter characters in the film were played by a real-life father/daughter combination: Mervyn and Glynis Johns. (And to get back to classic childrens' films: Glynis Johns played Mrs Banks in Mary Poppins).
And is also still with us, she turned 98 a few months ago.
Children's films are good for longevity, it seems

Another part of my childhood gone.
The scene that ALWAYS sticks in my mind is when DvD first opens the garage doors, and our comes an immaculate restored CCBB, with gleaming chrome and beautiful glossed wood, having seen the rusting wreck it started out as. As a kid, I found that bit absolutely spellbinding.

Does anyone remember seeing the original CCBB car which used to be on display in Heathfield wildlife park?
There used to be a small animal zoo there in those days, opened in 1972 and closed in 1984. We lived in East View and our neighbour saw a porcupine in her garden once!

I seem to remember being taken to see it at Brighton station.
Me too.

Saw CCBB as a kid at the cinema, in the days of breaks in the film (do they still have them, with the ice cream lady walking down the isles?). The break came just as CCBB was driven off the cliff. Now THAT is a cliffhanger if ever there was one.

I think I may be the only one who watches CCBB up to when the car starts flying then getting bored and switching over because the 2nd half is a bit crap.
Also possible that Essex wide boy, wannabe Mod and wheeler dealer Mike Brewer was behind the selling negotiation and restoration, but I can't be certain of that.
Also against the promotion of sugery sweets being given to dogs.

My partner taught a Truly scrumptious, Brighton middle class parents love a loopy name.
CCBB was on for the summer season at The Regent Cinema and they had a full size mock up of the car above the entrance canopy, (separate to the one at the Station)
Also remember at Brighton Station they had the 'Moon Buggy' from the James Bond film Diamonds are Forever when it first came out.
