Gutted. Always loved him. I was shocked to hear of his death, but more shocked to hear he was only 64. He looked 80!

Rest peacefully Mr P & thanks for the memories.

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.
