RIP Terence Rigby
One of the best 'heavies' around - which combined with his particular talent for Pinter always made him immensely watchable. Rigby always created a threatening, looming, brooding presence, and his Watson against Tom Baker's Holmes in The Hound of the Baskervilles was a wonderful example of playing against the text. My two favourite Terence Rigby roles were both heavies of a very different stamp - the engimatic trader Big Al in Plater's Beiderbecke Affair and boozy spy Roy Bland in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy.
And let's not forget that he was even watchable in Crossroads. Surely the mark of a great actor.
