brill actor, little anectdote from when I met him.
He starred in Brassed Off, which was made in my then village of Grimethorpe.
Shortly after the film was released we got shed loads of grant money and the whole grubby pit village got a major face lift. PP came back of his own violition to see the good works 'cos he loved the people so much. Genuinely nice bloke and not at all starry, sat in the workings mens club and had a pint.
