So Harry says, "you don't like me any more.  Why not?" 
And he says, "Because you got so terribly pretentious". 
And Harry says, "Pretentious?  Moi?"

    What a shame. I've been a fan since I saw him in Romeo and Juliet at the Young Vic in the sixties - a school trip. A fine actor. RIP.

    Just read about his battle with cancer. Can't have been pleasant for him over the last few years. RIP.

    That’s a shame.
    Whenever his name comes up, I always immediately think of a slightly bizarre 70s movie called Psychomania. Henson played the lead as the leader of a biker gang who all commit suicide in order to be reborn as immortals. Maybe not the best film in the world, but it was original, a bit grim, yet amusing and I really enjoyed it. It’s always stuck with me.

    RIP

    He appeared in an episode of Fawlty Towers if I remember rightly and his character thoroughly wound up Basil!

    RIP

    As per the lines in the original post spoken by him to Sibyl, whilst at the front desk.

    One of those actors whose face I always recognise but never knew his name.

    RIP Nicky---excellent as the Fawlty Towers guest,irking Basil so much as he impresses Sybil with his charm.
    Always gave a great performance.
