I have been in the series for over 3 years - 3 series. There will be a fourth series next year which of course I won't be in because I'm now dead. So in total I appeared in 25 episodes.

That is, I'm afraid, real life. Hector deserves all he got!

Hector was a wonderful part for me. I was also upset tonight that Hector has gone but I will have only happy memories of a great job.

So here I am, 35 years after Relatively Speaking, just fiddling about on a stage!

I used to make minor alterations and often shorten lines that were rather literary to make them more naturalistic. But my contribution was very small.

We need more theatres, more art and more culture in this country.

They've been watching repeats of the Good Life but they don't understand that this young good-looking young man is now their white haired old man.

I reluctantly left the series because a) my age. I'm 68 tomorrow and time is very precious for me to spend time at home with my family and especially with the grandchildren. They're aged 7 and 5. After three years I became homesick for my home.

I love doing commercials and voice-overs though.
