msc 18,437 Posted January 18, 2018 That is a shame. Brilliant actor, though one who could make Brian Blessed look restrained at times. As mentioned by many of us in the past, well known for his boozing, and his doctors said he should have died before the age of 60, so to make it to 90 is pretty good going.

Apparently it only got a release because his record company expected it to fail; and they quickly pulled it when it started making a profit. The question is who the fuck was buying it and which lists should they be on? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just wondering Toastie.... What if he had been caught cottaging in 2018 instead of 1975. How would society have seen him now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,218 Posted January 18, 2018 This reminds me that The Pooka had Wyngarde as his avatar. Fuck, I miss Pookie. Wyngarde will always be Department S and Jason King for me. He was so dapper and Gex Godesque I'm sure he used Tiger piss as aftershave. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lewd_Squirrel 331 Posted January 19, 2018 I'm guessing that Peter Wyngarde was the inspiration for Marvel's Mastermind character, he looks like him, & even has the same, or very similar last name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,437 Posted January 22, 2018 Couldn't see a reference elsewhere via search engine, or indeed from a QO yet, but Howard Lew Lewis has died aged 76. Maid Marian and Her Merry Men, Brush Strokes, plus guest spots on Blackadder, Minder, and nearly every other 80s British TV show. One of those faces imo. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OldWillz was watching Brushstrokes late last year. Had him marked out, but felt (probably wrongly) he was likely to go the way of Zara Nutley and Ronald Hines. Good actor. RIP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
