Warren Clarke RIP

RIP to Warren Clarke, who died aged 67 today. Apart from his extensive career spanning stage, screen and voice roles, I'll always fondly remember him as Amy Hardwood's father, Josiah, in Blackadder The Third's 'Amy and Amiability' episode:

Josiah Hardwood: I'd no more place my daughter in the hands of an unworthy man than I'd place my john thomas in the hands of a lunatic with a pair of scissors.

Love that character. Despite being best known for his dramatic work, Clarke had a string of comedy roles, in all of which he was a real highlight.

RIP

Another Great Man Gone This Year.
