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...

ETA: The Scotsman - as an Edinburgh based paper - has quite a nice article on I.R., albeit slightly spoiled by a local councillor seizing the chance for shamless self-promotion! It's here: http://heritage.scotsman.com/news.cfm?id=216412007

I am presently snerking over the "he was proud of his Edinburgh routes" (sic).

Which route, I ask? The A1? Princes Street?

Good article overall, but the councillor's awful. "My wife's cousin once acted with him and I consider him a personal friend?" Blah. Sounds like the stereotype of a local councillor. Alas, nowhere near so much fun as a machiavellian Conservative.

Oh no! I remember him from all kinds of things -- though Lord Groan in Gormenghast is the one currently haunting my brain. He made the poor man so sympathetic...
