[edit] Knighthood
I'm adding his knighthood to the article because I remember the announcement when he made the honours list. However I've been unable to find any reference to the relevant details on the web, and very few references to his being Sir Donald at all. Does anybody know which 1994 honours list he appeared in and what type of knighthood it was? JackofOz 10:08, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

- Donald Pleasance was not knighted. He was awarded an OBE in 1993 (Queen's Birthday Honours list, I believe), but he was most certainly not a 'Sir'. --Ayrshire--77 10:04, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
- The 1995 reprint of the Cambridge Biographical Encyclopedia (ed. David Crystal), calls him "Sir Donald" and says "he was knighted in 1994". Could the highly esteemed Prof Crystal have got it wrong? JackofOz 14:50, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- It looks like it — according to the Oxford DNB 1994 was the year he was appointed OBE. Wilus 09:08, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- Well there you go then. Thanks for clearing that up. (Moral: Don't believe everything you read. Catch: Know which experts to trust and which not.) JackofOz 09:21, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dark and Lonely Water
Somewhere he voiced "The Spirit of Dark and Lonely Water", a public information film. 68.39.174.238 03:49, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Puma Man
What was he thinking when he took the roll of Kobras? White_Bishop 20:50, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Date Confusion
The article lists his birth as in 1919 and his career starting in 1912. One of these needs correction. 67.79.157.109 12:33, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
