Mrs Bradley? Mrs - later Dame - Beatrice Lestrange Bradley, as originally written by Gladys Mitchell, was old, ugly and crocodilian (though the author gives her a beautiful voice). Miscasting to the max.
I loved Diana Rigg in The Avengers and I wish I had seen her in This House of Brede. I disliked Gladys Mitchell's books, so would probably have watched that series only for her.
My TV was taken out by a bookcase landing on it in the Feb 2011 quake in a triumph of culture over crass commercialism and though I bought another one reception wasn't as good as a subsequent quake meant the chimney to which the aerial was attached, had to be demolished, so I gave up watching.
RIP Diana Rigg. As a young teenager, I wanted to be her (well, Mrs. Peel, anyway), and I could never again watch the show after her character drove off with...someone. As a student at University College London, I saw her in “Jumpers,” and thought her performance far superior to Tom Stoppard’s play. I did like “In this house of Brede,” and there other programs. May she rest in peace and rise in glory, and may her memory be a blessing.

Just caught up with this thread and having loved Diana Rigg and In This House of Brede - I wondered where I might see the movie. It's on YouTube - I hope you enjoy!
May Sir Sean have an amazing journey, and may he and all who care about him be comforted and blessed.
One of my favorite actors, in too many roles to name. I especially liked him {as Indiana Jones' dad) in "Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade"; "The Man Who Would Be King"; "The League of Extraordinary Gentleman"; "DragonHeart"; and many others.

Unfortunately, Alex Trebek was never my quizmaster on RFTT. (I did have the great Bill Guest, however.) I was very sad to hear the news of his death this afternoon. For years he was my usual weeknight dinner companion.
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks. A monumental thinker who transcended the bounds of "Jewish" thought - he was a world thinker. While I'm not an Orthodox Jew, I learned a great deal from his writings. He was a blessing.
I absolutely agree, although the telescope has served its purpose well. At 57, it was built before Elfin Safety was really a Thing, and you can't really blame the authorities for balking at rebuilding or repairing it.
Some will remember him as the Green Cross Code man. This is his real voice. Amusingly, his voice was replaced by a voice artist in a number of the Green Cross Code ads too.
That made me so sad. I remember when I was a student in Aberdeen I had the joy of seeing them at His Majesty’s with an Aberdonian audience. They were superb.

I know it's not a person, but I find the exploration of the universe utterly mindboggling, and when one of it's mainstay's begins to disintegrate..
