Remember the swinging light bulb?

Indeed I do, I also remember the scene where he catches the Patrick Mower character halfway out of the door of his Mk2 Jaguar and closes it on him rather firmly, because he is cross with him.

Great fella! Will always be remembered for The Wicker Man, a true great of British Cinema.

RIP E Woodward
Loved the Jag in the Equalizer

A sad loss. I can just about remember the Equalizer, but most recently enjoyed his performance in Football Factory.

Of Lonely "smelly little man"

He was great in Hot Fuzz.

Sad loss.

Yup. He's ea alright.

[becksW]

Liked him, married to Frank Spencers wife (Michelle Doltrice I think). I remember watching him in Equalizer and Common as muck, the dustbin men, good series.

[bonsai]

Never heard of the fellow before, but his parents must have been mad to name him Edward when his surname was Woodward. His name effectively has three wood sounds in it.

[kiteless]

Rest easy, Sir.

And give that Jag V12 the berries through the gates.

[LHD]

Sad news.
