Aha, thanks Mr H.
I cannot list any of those films amongst my top 50, but he was clearly a talented chap and its only right to mark his passing in some way on these pages.

 

[Man of Harveys]

I wonder if NSC's film expert Gavin Grover has heard of him?

 

[unnameable]

He scripted a few episodes of Inspector Morse.

Blimey, I assume it was sudden, I don't recall him being ill.

Of Course It Was Sudden. He Was Alive One Minute And Then The Next He Was Dead. 'Strewth. What I have To Deal With In Here.

He was an extra in King Sheba and the Mines Of Solomon!

Saw him interview Gordon Brown at the Brighton Festival last year. RIP.

He just directed the Lady Detective Agency, which is getting shown at the weekend.
Top director/writer. RIP.

Was going to mention something about necrophilia and Cold Mountin' - but thought better of it.





So I'll just say "RIP" instead.
