Very sad. Kes had a big impact on me when it was released in the late sixties. RIP

Z Cars, Kes and many, many more both as actor and director.

An icon of the sixties and seventies and another victim of the cruel disease that is Alzheimer's.

RIP

really liked him in dennis potters "blue remembered hills" all the actors played the role of children in the story, despite clearly being adult, very interesting idea.

He also appeared in the first Sweeney film as a left wing journalist who got blown up.

Sad to see him go but apparently had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for some time. I'll forgive him for this indiscretion!
