Craig’s praise for ‘so game’ Dame Angela

Daniel Craig said Dame Angela Lansbury's Bedknobs And Broomsticks is still one of his "favourite" films, describing her as "so game" during her appearance in his latest film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.

James Bond star Craig, 54, reprises his role as suave detective Benoit Blanc which sees him travel to Greece to peel back the layers of a mystery with a new cast of colourful suspects.

The sequel features the final on-screen appearance from Murder, She Wrote actress Dame Angela, who died "peacefully" in her sleep aged 96 on October 11.

Craig said on The Graham Norton Show: "It was her very last screen performance. She was so game. I was a fan, Bedknobs And Broomsticks is still one of my favourite movies."

The Irish-british and American actress was best known for her role as Jessica Fletcher but her prolific output included more than 50 films and a string of successes on Broadway and on television.
