Dont Panic! Don't Panic! Pearl dislikes me, wait until she sees her ration of 4 ozs of steak it'll be tough as old boots and she won't be getting her two extra kidneys on the quiet! ;)
I think he was brilliant. He (John) got his character so spot on. The nuances perfected. Absolutely top tier actor. Strangely I was watching him the other day in Serenade For.... episode and realised how excellent he was. Truly missed.

Take the beans away and add some black pudding an you have a good breakfast there.
And you throw in some fried bread you can have a nice little heart attack for lunch.
