Except it's not entirely: like many other people on my flist, I was sad to hear that Ian Richardson had died. A very fine actor, and infinitely watchable in whatever he was doing. This, of course, is from what was perhaps his most famous role. I am mildly disturbed by the fact that I know people who regard FU as role models, but it's a tribute to Richardson's charisma...
