Roy Kinnear

The problem then is whither Willie. What is he for? In Rushton's Illustrated, which is all his own work, he has surrounded himself with excellent character actors (Junkin, Kinnear, Paddick) and the quirky dilapidation of music hall.

Surprised myself by enjoying this Thames comedy in which Roy Kinnear in an ill-fitting head attempted to interest Brian Murphy in an off-the-peg moustache in the economic possibilities of Kentucky fried pigeon and newt in a basket. The deep and wide shiftiness of Kinnear's face reminds me of the Great Grimpen Mire.

There was a [i]Mastermind[p/i] sketch in the Punch Review (BBC2). (I think they meant 'revue,' but it seems that the distinction between the two words is a lost cause.) Roy Kinnear was asked his name and answered 'pass.' The show's material was lifted from the magazine and most of it transferred only averagely, but there was the odd brilliant thing.
