Richard Todd

Recommended Posts

Ageing 'British' actor - despite being born in Dublin 11 June 1919.

 

Two of his sons have committed suicide by shooting themselves in the head in the last few years. The most recent a couple of weeks back. RT looked manly enough in The Dam Busters but surely, an ageing luvvie can only take so much.

I expect to see him playing "Old Codger" in BBC1's Doctors soon, then - that was Tony Britton's lot yesterday. Don't wait up, indeed ... :D

He'd steal every scene in Last of the Summer Wine as some retired army type.

Good point, but it highlights the man's age.

He's supposed to be giving a talk on the filming of the Dambusters and his own role in the war in Woodhall Spa (where the Dambusters were based and where I live) in the next few weeks. Shall I see if I can get a photo to spot any potential signs of impending bucket kicking?

Better still, nip up for an autograph at the end, and open with the time-honoured greeting of "How are you doing?"

 

Then report back to us with the answer.

 

DWB :)

Isn't that, well, sort of cheating slightly?

If it gets us the desired information, no. After all information gathering isn't cheating, is it?

 

If the conversation proved lethal to Todd, however, yes.

Even if I happened to accidently rapidly deflate the balloon I was holding?
