Jack Hedley, who appeared in films including “For Your Eyes Only” opposite Roger Moore, died on Dec. 11. He was 92.

His death was confirmed by a notice in The Times of London, which reads: “[Hedley] died on 11th December 2021, aged 92, after a short illness bravely borne. At his request there will be no funeral. He will be much missed by his family and friends.”

The actor racked up 99 credits in a career spanning five decades as well as numerous appearances in the theater.

Born in London as Jack Hawkins, he changed his last name at the outset of his career to avoid confusion with a prolific British actor of the same name.

Hedley appeared in numerous British productions including “Colditz,” in which he played Lt. Colonel Preston, and “The Scarlet Blade,” directed by John Gilling. He also had parts in American war epic “The Longest Day,” which starred John Wayne, Robert Ryan and Richard Burton,...

Legend actor Alex Giannini has died at the age of 52.

Giannini had appeared alongside Tom Hardy as American gangster Tony Caponigro in the Kray twins biopic earlier this year.

He passed away shortly before a performance of Mack and Mabel at the Theatre Royal in Plymouth on Friday night (October 2). The show was cancelled as a result.

The venue wrote on Facebook: "Thank you to everyone who was affected by last night's cancellation, for your patience and understanding."

Giannini's agent wrote on Twitter: "The talented and much loved actor @GianniniAlex died suddenly of natural causes yesterday."

The actor's other credits include Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Miss Monday, The Bill and Dalziel and Pascoe.

From Bananaman to Grange Hill, join us in a spot of TV nostalgia as we celebrate 50 great 1980s kids' TV theme songs...

There comes a time to turn away from the horrors of the world and retreat underneath the soft, comforting duvet of nostalgia. That time is Friday. That metaphorical duvet is below.

Here are fifty of the best kids’ TV theme songs (spread over two pages and in arbitrary order) of the 1980s. Some, like Alan Hawkshaw’s distinctive Grange Hill intro, are unarguable classics of the era, while others, like Mike Harding's Count Duckula, only started in the late-eighties and spent the rest of their run in the next decade.

Obviously, there being only 50 on this list, we may have missed out your favourite (deliberately or otherwise). Let us know if so, but remember that links may take a while to appear in the comments thread because...

20 year old newcomer Sally Messham, a final year student at Rada, has been cast as Jane Watkins, the daughter of exorcist Merrily, in ITV Encore’s new three-part drama Midwinter of the Spirit.

Sally (represented by Curtis Brown), will leave Rada early to take up the role alongside the double BAFTA award-winning actress Anna Maxwell-Martin who leads the cast as Merrily Watkins, a single mother who isn’t your average country vicar.

Merrily’s newly acquired training has put her on the dark side of the pulpit. She’s become one of the few women priests working as an exorcist - a job increasingly mistrusted by the modern Church and rarely talked about, even though it operates in virtually every diocese in the UK.

Merrily is deeply human in her doubts and scepticism, but her knowledge of the paranormal underworld brings her to the notice of local police who need...

David Threlfall and Anna Maxwell-Martin have been confirmed to star in ITV's Midwinter of the Spirit.

The pair will lead the three-part supernatural crime drama, which begins production in Herefordshire this month.

The series follows country vicar Merrily Watkins (Maxwell-Martin), who is one of the few women priests working as an exorcist in the UK. When a grisly murder takes place in her local area, the police come calling for her assistance.

Threlfall, who previously starred in Shameless, will play Rev Huw Owen, Watkins's mentor.

The series will air on ITV Encore and is based on the books by novelist Phil Rickman. Stephen Volk (The Awakening) will write the screenplay for the adaptation.

Also confirmed to star in the drama are Siobhan Finneran (Happy Valley, Downton Abbey), Ben Bailey Smith (Law and Order: UK), Leila Mimmack (Home Fires), Kate Dickie (Game of Thrones), Simon Trinder (Dalziel and Pascoe), Oengus MacNamara...

A Russell T Davies TV project is always something to be excited about. From gifting us Queer as Folk to saving Doctor Who, he has given us a lot to be grateful for over the years. Hence why his various comeback series on Channel 4, E4 and online later this month are being greeted with such a sense of anticipation.

Cucumber, Banana and Tofu come 16 years after Davies shook up TV with Queer as Folk and his new shows look likely to be just as exciting, exploring the passions and pitfalls of 21st century gay life with a candid sense of humour.

But will it create as many stars as Davies's previous Channel 4 series? Here's what happened to the Queer As Folk stars after it ended in 2000.

Warren Clarke may have been best known as Detective Superintendent Andy Dalziel in Dalziel and Pascoe, but he also had a wide-ranging TV and movie career beyond that career-defining role.

Starting in Coronation Street in the 1960s, Clarke also worked with the likes of Stanley Kubrick, David Morrissey and Richard E Grant in a career spanning five decades. He is due to star as Charles Poldark in Poldark , a new eight-part adaptation of Winston Graham's novels.

Following the sad news of his death today at the age of 67, Digital Spy rounds up just some of the images from Clarke's diverse TV and film career.

To some he will always be a Droog. To others, Dalziel. It’s a tribute to the acting abilities of Warren Clarke that he was able to inhabit such a diverse range of characters through his long career on screens both big and small. The actor has died at the age of 67.After leaving school at 15, he initially worked as a copy boy at the Manchester Evening News and had dreams of being a footballer before the acting bug bit and he began performing in amateur dramatics at the Huddersfield Rep and the Liverpool Playhouse. The Oldham-born actor soon took to the small screen, getting his start on venerable soap Coronation Street and appearing in ITV series such as Play Of The Week and Playhouse before moving to a wide range of guest shots on TV series including The Avengers, Softly, Softly, The Sweeney and Minder, among many others.He...

Midsomer Murders ITV

Kieran Kinsella

It is midsummer which means blood is flowing in the streets of England’s most dangerous county – Midsomer. Over the next few weeks, Acorn Media are releasing not one, not two but Six boxsets of the beloved hit series Midsomer Murders on DVD. Not only that, but they are also releasing the Alec Guinness classic Smiley’s People on Blu-ray. So without further ado, let’s begin.

Midsomer Murders Set 22

The four stories in this set were originally broadcast in the UK in late 2011 and have never been shown in the U.S. All four feature Neil Dudgeon as Barnaby and Jason Hughes as his ever-reliable sidekick. The first of the stories is Sleeper Under the Hill. It centers around a group of Druids and a Stonehenge-like monument that they use during rituals. A local farmer plans to plough up the surrounding meadow, an endeavor...

The cast may be ironclad but this police procedural about bent coppers goes by the book

This police procedural about a pair of bent coppers goes by the book. Paul Bettany and Stephen Graham are brother bobbies who murder a murder suspect, Mark Strong's the colleague on their tail and Brian Cox is their confused elderly dad, whose dementia could let the secret slip at any moment. The cast is ironclad, but they struggle with a script by old school TV writer Bill Gallagher (Clocking Off, The Prisoner, Dalziel and Pascoe) that likes to doublecheck we've got everything before ambling off towards the next heavy trope. The dead man pops up to council his attackers; flashbacks fill the holes the dialogue left behind. The soundtrack rumbles incessantly, until the Bad Thing happens, when it cuts out for dramatic effect. Originality may be out of Blood's jurisdiction, but it manages to plods on,...

Actor and lead singer with the Flying Pickets during the early 1980s, he went on to take roles in several popular TV series, including Coronation Street, EastEnders and Emmerdale

Brian Hibbard, who has died of prostate cancer aged 65, first found fame as a member of the Flying Pickets, a group of actors who left the socialist playwright John McGrath's 7:84 theatre group to woo audiences through their a cappella singing. They topped the pop charts in 1983 with a cover version of Only You, trumping Yazoo, the duo of Alison Moyet and Vince Clarke, who had reached No 2 with their original recording. This Christmas No 1 single and the group's flamboyant look – gaudy suits, large hats and Hibbard's massive sideburns – led to brief stardom for the Flying Pickets, a name coined because some of them had supported the miners during their strikes of 1972 and 1974. They hit the Top 10 again with another cover,...

Melbourne’s Yarra Trams has won Postcard of the Year with an execution featuring a rhino on a skateboard.

The campaign to warn Melburnians of the dangers of walking in front of a tram was designed by Mikey Tucker, written by Julian Penwright and creative directed by John Hillier. The agency was Helsinki.

Jury member David Bell, Ecd at MercerBell, commented: “Pedestrian accidents must be quite a problem in Melbourne, so to highlight the danger the agency have come up with a very graphic and powerful analogy to make their point. A tram weighs as much as 30 rhinos, so be aware around trams.”

The Postcard of the Year event was scrapped this year, with organiser Avant Card saying it spent the budget on a new website instead.

British author Reginald Hill, who created the Dalziel & Pascoe crime novels, has lost his battle with cancer at the age of 75.

The son of a professional soccer player, Hill studied at Oxford University and became a teacher, while quietly writing a series of popular books.

His first, A Clubbable Woman, was published in 1970.

A decade later he quit teaching to write full time and has over 40 books to his name, including the Dalziel and Pascoe crime novels, which were adapted into a TV series featuring Warren Clarke and Colin Buchanan in the mid-1990s.

One of Britain's most distinguished actors, known for her roles on stage and screen

Margaret Tyzack, who has died aged 79, was one of Britain's greatest and most popular actors, working on stage, television and film for more than half a century. Sometimes described as being in the mould of Edith Evans and Flora Robson, she will be remembered particularly for performances in the golden age of BBC TV drama – Winifred in The Forsyte Saga (1967), Antonia in I, Claudius (1976) – as well as for stage performances such as Martha in the National Theatre's revival of Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1981), for which she won an Olivier award for best actress, and Lottie with Maggie Smith in Lettice and Lovage (1987 and 1990), which earned her both Tony and Variety Club stage actress of the year awards. In 2008, well into her 70s, she scored perhaps one of her finest triumphs on stage as the wily,...

Versatile producer and director who made Prime Suspect an enduring success

Paul Marcus, who has died of cancer aged 56, was best known for his award-winning work as producer of the television series Prime Suspect. However, most of his career was devoted to directing, for theatre and cinema, as well as for TV.

The first series of the police drama Prime Suspect, written by Lynda La Plante and following Dci Jane Tennison (played by Helen Mirren) as she led her first major murder investigation, was aired by Granada TV in 1991, to wide acclaim. Marcus was asked by Granada to take over as producer on the second series. He bravely invited an unknown director, John Strickland, to oversee the drama, but his choice proved justified, with Prime Suspect 2 matching the success of the first series and receiving an International Emmy award as well as Bafta recognition.

However, with the trip cut short, Tompkinson's Danny Travanion is reunited with his estranged father - played by Clarke - who then travels back to meet the extended family in Leopard's den. Speaking of the former Dalziel and Pascoe star's casting, Tompkinson said in a statement: "I first worked (more)...

Playwright and author of TV dramas including The Beiderbecke Affair and Fortunes of War

Alan Plater, whose TV credits in a writing career spanning 50 years included The Beiderbecke Affair, Fortunes of War and the screenplay for A Very British Coup, has died, his agent confirmed to the BBC today.

Plater, 75, wrote novels and for film and theatre, but will be best remembered for a profilic body of television drama spanning six decades, starting with TV play The Referees for BBC North in 1961.

His final TV drama, Joe Maddison's War, starring Kevin Whately and Robson Green and set on the eve of the second world war in the north-east, where Plater was born, is currently in post-production for ITV.

Plater was born in Jarrow in 1935 and moved with his family as a young child to Hull, where he grew up.

He studied architecture at Newcastle University and worked for a short...

Lord Of The Flies star James Aubrey has died at the age of 62.

The former child actor passed away at his home in Lincolnshire, England on 6 April after losing his battle with pancreatitis.

Born James Aubrey Tregidgo in Austria in 1947, the Brit scored his first role when he was just a schoolboy, handpicked by director Peter Brook to portray Ralph in the classic 1963 movie adaptation.

He went on to carve out a career on the stage and in British television, later landing a part in 1970s U.K. series Bouquet of Barbed Wire and its spin off, Another Bouquet, while his other film credits include 1983's The Hunger and Richard Attenborough's apartheid drama Cry Freedom in 1987.

Aubrey also starred in British detective series Dalziel and Pascoe, Silent Witness and Heartbeat, and appeared briefly as a child on Broadway, in the 1962 theatre flop Isle of Children, which closed after just 11 performances.

He is survived by his sister Janet Fleming, and his daughter Sarah, from a previous marriage, reports the New York Times.

Actor known for his roles in Lord of the Flies and TV's Bouquet of Barbed Wire

It must be galling for an actor who has a reasonable track record of films, stage and television, stretching over decades, to be remembered mainly for a role he played right at the beginning of his career. It hints, often unfairly, that everything was downhill thereafter. A case in point was James Aubrey, who was 14 when he played Ralph, one of the principal characters in Peter Brook's film of Lord of the Flies (1963), a part for which he was highly praised.

Aubrey, who has died of cancer aged 62, was one of 30 British schoolboys chosen by Brook out of 3,000 candidates. In attempting to duplicate the conditions depicted in William Golding's novel about children on a desert island who have survived a plane crash, Brook transported his young cast to the island of Vieques,...
