What happened to this wonderful actor? Was he ill when he retired from the profession? He seemed an underused, undervalued UK artist. His performance in The Games (1970) was a monument to the craft. They've knighted many a lesser actor.

Still alive? Only the "girls", viz. Vanessa & Judi. from his class at Central seem to be still around. Just seen him again in repeat of Winds of War (tx in South Africa) Are the royalties still coming?
