[Eric Mc]

Sad news. A very good actor who was also involved in one of the funniest moments on British TV.

Just clocked it. Don't tell him Pike.

First thing I thought of when I read the thread title. Sad news.

I've been trying to remember what else he was in apart from one episode of Dad's Army, which seems to be what everybody remembers him for. In the end I had to look it up on Wikipedia and it was 'Last of the Mohicans', the TV series from 1971 not the film, and he played Magua a Huron warrior. Makes you feel old when people you remember watching on TV in your youth like Philip and Davy Jones pass away.

He was in quite a few things. As a Nazi E Boat commander in a Hollywood feature called 'Hellboats'. I think he was Obersturmbannfuhrer Lutzig in a 70's French Resistance series called Manhunt. Clearly cornered the market in sinister Nazis for a while.

Had an excellent voice for radio - was a much better Brother Cadfael than Derek Jacobi was on that feeble TV series, and was a terrific narrator of some of the Alan garner audiobooks.

Also - v.good in Lloyd George TV biopic

He was in a fair few radio dramas, including His Dark Materials, and read some good stuff for us: Doctor Zhivago, unabridged.
