Brilliant East, there you go, you are a right Barry Norman now!! See how you do on TV Westerns tomorrow! 
I thought John Wayne was great, loved The Searchers and a lot of his other films, although I must say his appearance in The Greatest Story Ever Told as a Roman Soldier has to be one of the worst cameo's ever!
