While he will, for many people, be best remembered for his role as Tinker in 'Lovejoy', I've not seen any reference to his wonderful performance as a world-weary schoolteacher in 'The Beiderbecke Affair'. Nice to read a message from fellow 'Lovejoy' actor Chris Jury.
Dudley Sutton RIP

Did not see the Beiderbecke Affair, but Lovejoy remains one of my favourite TV series, ever. "Major" Dill, indeed.

Were I to compile a bucket list meetings, however brief, with Barbara Flynn and Laura Linney would be right at the top.
Quite a long time ago, I met Jean Heywood, who appeared alongside James Bolam in 'When The Boat Comes In', and I asked her, among other things, whether he was ever out of work. 'Only when he chooses to be' was the reply. I guess that's as true now as it was then.

But getting back to Dudley Sutton: a great supporting actor who always made his presence felt. Joe Orton didn't envisage Mr. Sloane as looking like a physical culture demonstrator but as looking like Dudley, which is why he got to create the part.
