This was just shown on CBC in Canada, and although I caught at least
the last hour of it, I didn't see Ed Bishop, although he was in
the credits. I believe it will also be shown on the Discovery
Channel this week in the USA...

I just checked the listings, and Hiroshima will be shown
in the USA on the Discovery Channel both Saturday and
Sunday evening. It will also be repeated in Canada
on CBC on Saturday and Sunday.

I didn't see Ed in the last 60 minutes, so he must
appear in the first 30 minutes.

Marc,
Ed is in a short section in the first 20 mins or so of the docudrama
playing one of
Harry Truman's aids. I have the program recorded on my hard drive and
will try
and get a short clip of his performance on-line shortly for those who
won't be able
to see the program (which I think was excellent produced by the way).

Best Regards
Neil.

Haven't watched it all the way through yet, but saw bits of it and Ed was
indeed in the first part of it. In the parts I saw, Ed was playing opposite
Shane Rimmer (I think Shane was playing Truman). the whole drama was shot in
Poland last year.

Yes, I saw Ed in it when the Discovery Channel showed it. Seems like
he was in it for less than a minute, and had about 3 lines.

Oddly enough, the Discover Channel removed the John Hurt narration
and replaces it with its own! Otherwise, it seems to be the
same program.

Strange that, John Hurt did a good job too.

Hi UFO fans - I saw Hiroshima with Ed Bishop last week and he looked so
handsome and young I could scarcely believe he was gone from us! This film
actually made me sadder than the original announcement because he was so
vital and his voice so strong. It seemed impossible that such a youthful man
could be dead.....

P.S. the Hiroshima film WAS interesting....

Yes maybe you could spot him. I remember an episode of The Saint in
which he was killed within the first 5 minutes of the episode.
Anyway, I also noticed Ed appeared in 2001, A space Odyssey, but I
still (after having viewed that one over 20 times now) haven't
unequivocally spotted him there. I guessed he's one of the pilots from
the space-station to the Moon, carrying dr. Floyd, so NOT the Pan Am
ship, but the round one. Anyone else a better idea?

Yes, he's in the round spaceship in 2001 -- I've got some frame
captures of him here:
