Amazing voice. So smooth and effortless.

Sad news, but I sort of thought he’d died years back.

That name is a blast from the past. Like others, my Mum & Dad were fans of Roger Whittaker. Enough that I can recall at least two of the songs mentioned very well, even if it's possibly the 80's since I last heard them.

Interesting thing about McCallum

[Machpants]

I recognised the name but don't watch NCIS. Then twigged

[Bovidae]

He only turned 90 six days before dying. I remember him more from Sapphire & Steel.

Ilya Kuryakin

The Invisible Man

[Catogrande]

He was also very good in Colditz. A 1970s TV series.

[canefan]

Sapphire and Steel too. He was in regular employment for a long time. Edit just saw Bovidae got there first

[booboo]

Alan Breck Stewart in Kidnapped

[dogmeat]

Nah Has to be Ilya Kurayakin the cool one in Man from Uncle.

Quite radical in 60's to have a programme with dirty filthy Russkie as a good guy

He was in several iconic roles

Fucking hell. I watched a bit of this guy on TV absolutely amazing it, and can't believe he's anything but immortal.

Fuck cancer.

I had the pleasure of hearing Dr Tom speak a few years ago, such an inspiration, and to read about his death, wow.

New Zealand, Listen, The Country

'Very, very raw': 'Hero' physician Dr Tom Mulholland dies suddenly

Known affectionately as Dr Tom, he'd helped hundreds of thousands of people over 30 years.
