Bernard Hill's crowning career achievement was playing the ill-fated Madgett in Peter Greenaway's sublime "Drowning By Numbers" from 1988, but he went on to appear in a couple of other little things anyway including "Titanic" as Captain Smith and the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy as King Theoden.

He was 79.
Rest in peace.

Bernard Hill is due to appear in the latest series of The Responder(with Martin Freeman) starting on the BBC tonight. A bit of fateful timing and almost certainly his last piece of work.

He lived not that far from me and was always involved with local events and of course theatre. Top bloke, and a top actor, famous for much more TV and film than people would at first realise and for several decades.
