    He'd recently made a film about the Kray twins from what I read Ron.I can imagine him in that.

    My late uncle started him on his acting career, he taught drama in Kingston Prison and Leslie Grantham was in his drama class. He credited my uncle with this in his autobiography and although he was unable to attend sent s lovely tribute which was read at my uncle's funeral.
    He did not say you will not be storm tossed, you will not be sore distressed, you will not be work weary. He said you will not be overcome.
