Sad news. Not ashamed to say I welled up in Brassed Off when he was sick in bed and the band were playing below his window. Great actor. British institution. Will be sadly missed.

As a postscript, it looked like Peter James wanted him in the role of Norman Potting, the ageing police lech for the dramatisation of the Roy Grace novels.

Whether he'd have gone for it or not is another matter, and it's all academic now.

I would have deemed it an honour and a privilege. Any insider knowledge on when/if the books are likely be turned into a TV series??

One of the best. RIP.

I first remember him in Sharpe and started to love his work since then. So glad I saw him on stage when we had a school trip to see Macbeth.

Shocked and sad. One of my favs.

Currently watching him as Obadiah, the psycho sergeant in Sharpe. Great man much missed
