Ronald Pickup was one of those actors whose name wont mean much but most people would have aeen him. Hes been in nearly every British classic tv drama going.
I first saw him in Day of the Jackal as The Forger who met his end in his studio trying to blackmail Edward Fox.

His cv is a history of British TV

inspector Morse
Corrie
Lewis
Inspector Lynley
Vera
Doc Martin
Midsomer Murders
Bergerac
Boon
Father Brown
Casualty
Silent Witness
Ivanhoe
The Bill
Dalziel and Pascoe
Waking the Dead
Foyle’s War
Holby City
New Tricks
Downton Abbey
Call the Midwife

amongst many more. What a career. Youd be hard pushed to find an actor who has played in so many iconic tv series as Ronald.
RIP

Nice. Probably would have been quicker to list the British progs he hasn't worked on!

Versatile or what? From the Forger to Archbishop of Canterbury in The Crown.
