Another one of those "well I thought he'd been dead for years". Perhaps I'm confusing him with John Thaw?

Re RIP Ronnie Corbett...there actually is a 'most popular' headline on todays BBC News page 03/04/17...though article is dated 2016. Why so popular? Maybe people liked him more than May, Trump, Putin, Sturgeon or Jong-un?

Tim Pigott-Smith. Best known for The Jewel in the Crown. I saw him on stage fairly recently in Charles III - great performance. Looks like he died unexpectedly as, of all the plays any actor could be involved in before he dies, he was due to perform in Death of a Salesman in Northampton on Monday.  :(

Very sad news. He was also an excellent narrator of audio books. His telling of Bernard Cornwell's Arthur trilogy, the Winter King, Excalibur and Enemy of God, was first class.
