I always liked Edward Woodward. Especially in The Equalizer which is one of those programmes from my childhood that I’ll always look back on fondly (A Team being another one). He was an excellent actor and I’m sorry to hear about his passing.
I don’t know why but I always got the feeling he would make a brilliant Grandad.
I have created a tribute to him at Friends At Rest.
