Fine actor.

I saw him in a one-man show about John Clare and his descent into mental illness - it was very powerful and moving.

RIP. He also appeared in one off episodes in many of the ITC produced TV series of the late 60s early 70s such as Randall & Hopkirk, The Saint, Jason King, The Baron, The Protectors, Space 1999 etc...
I didn't know he was the father of Toby Jones, another very fine actor.

RIP: Was a juggernaut in the acting world.

See what you did there! A very much underrated thriller and loved it at the end when Richard Harris as chief bomb disposal officer chooses to ignore Freddie's advice on which wire to cut.
