This scene cracked me up...

Yosser Hughes: "I'm desperate, Father." Priest: "Call me Dan." Yosser: "I'm desperate, Dan.

Bernard Hill: Titanic and Lord of the Rings actor dies

Bernard Hill enjoyed a career spanning decades in film and television.

www.bbc.co.uk

A fantastic actor, he had great on-screen presence. I'm sure my generation will remember him mostly for Lord of the Rings and Titanic, but I remember him most recently for his performance as the abrasive Lord Norfolk in Wolf Hall.

"Cromwell...why are you such a....person?"

RIP

Well that looks excellent, I guess I'm going to watch Wolf Hall this evening then! RIP

(FWIW the other actor in that scene, Mark Rylance, is excellent in the film "The Outfit" on Netflix too.)

I've missed a few BBC dramas as I previosuly scrapped my TV license for a few years thanks to Netflix/Prime/Disney.

The last time I went to watch Wolf Hall, I had to pirate it anyway, as it wasn't on iPlayer...but now it seems that it is. Definitely worth a watch, fantastic show and an amazing cast. And yes, I've seen The Outfit...another fab film for Rylance. He was also in Dunkirk.

Watching Mark Rylance sharing a scene with Bernard Hill is a privilege, 2 acting powerhouses. Easily as good as anything mainstream Hollywood can offer up.
