He said, ‘Children are calling me grandad in the street!’
He’d turned up with a suitcase full of props, just in case, including a rubber chicken.
And what an actor.
Oh, really though, what a wonderful actor.
That’s a lovely memory.

What if I attack a Dalek with a paintball gun?!’

Thanks for everything, my old soldier.
A legend has left the world.”
