They were only talking about him on BBC Breakfast this morning. I think he's in the 2nd series of Responder which starts tonight.
Anyone old enough to remember him in Boys from the Blackstuff will have loved the time the tarmac crew came to Coulby Newham.
And the 'Shakehands' scene is legendary.
RIP Bernard
I mentioned to the wife that he had died and she said we should watch Shirley Valentine later - I love this line out of it and so typical of men of that time.RIP Bernard, not forgetting the great part he played as Shirley Valentine’s husband.
