Who else nearly missed the reporting of his passing yesterday? Seemed more than somewhat overshadowed by news of the death of Robert Hardy.

Great as Shelley and Ricki Tarr in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

Yep, I noticed it went under the radar, somewhat.

He was very good in an episode of The Sweeney (Sweet Smell of Succession, Series 3, Episode 8) and in the film The Family Way.

His brother, Alun Lewis is also a well known actor who has been in Emmerdale and The Professionals.

I remember him in The Virgin Soldiers. Saw that with my very first serious girlfriend! Lasted all of three months.

I only spotted it by chance underneath the article about Robert Hardy.
