Seems to have been forgotten in all the 'stuff' that's going on ?

Indeed, in amongst the arguments about thread titles and what constitutes a "shlebruty"!

Ah well I'm not a big fan of the arts and neither do I know a lot about most actors.

Book at Bedtime was all I knew of Joss,
whether reading The Lighthouse or Brighton Rock

Joss of course would be horrified to learn that he's being commemorated by lines from Bill and Ted.

Heap bad medicine. Braves not happy.

Joss Akland was a great character actor. I was only watching him on Friday evening in an old episode of Tales of the Unexpected.

He also played a great villain opposite Jeremy Brett in Sherlock Holmes - The Copper Beeches.

Sure I saw him in a Shakespeare play for my O Level English back in the early 80's. Not my thing but he must have left an impression to remember it.

[Johnspex]

I saw him in morrisons in Bideford being pushed round in a wheelchair some time before Covid.
