I can't believe he's dead.
Yeah I know he was 89 but he was always so fit, even for a man 25 years younger than himself. I believe he was in The Royal just as little ago as last year.
Such a shock. And I have always been a fan.

According to his wife, he fell over the Christmas holidays and declined after that. He was a terrific actor and I'm so sorry more people didn't get to meet him.

Thanks for that information. Yeah so sad. I was a big fan of his while growing up.

Just watched Ian in From Beyond The Grave. Sadly both he, Margaret Leighton and Nyree Dawn Porter are no longer with us.
Add to that Peter Cushing, Diana Dors, Ian Bannen, and Donald Pleasence.

He was afflicted with the lifelong condition of being both extremely irritating and painfully unfunny.
Thankfully, our suffering is finally over.
