David Warner.
So sorry to hear of the passing of David Warner. A charismatic and hugely talented performer, who I imagine was a real presence in live theatre. I can only imagine it, off course, as I never had the opportunity to see him live on stage. I have off late very much enjoyed his take on a a version of The Doctor, for Big Finish. Sarky and funny, distant but wryly affectionate, he made the character his own in some lovely box sets starring Lisa Bowerman as Beniece Summerfield. They made for a lovely "Tardis Team" bouncing off each other in the way good actors can. He did so many other great things over the years and even at eighty he was capable of more.
Good night sweet prince.
