Actor Edward Kelsey has died at the age of 88.
Most famous for playing the character of Joe Grundy in 'The Archers' on Radio 4, he also starred on television with regular roles in 'The Vicar Of Dibley', 'Doctor Who', 'Z-Cars' and 'Juliet Bravo' among others. On hearing of the news of his death, I re-watched the episode of 'Minder' in which he appeared, called 'If' (Series 3, Episode 13) from April 1982, in which Edward Kelsey plays a police foreman who takes charge of the stripping down of a BMW seized from Arthur's car-lot on suspicion of it storing drugs.

The actor John Quarmby has died, aged 89.
He had a long career on television in the 1970s, and is probably most famous for playing the role of the health inspector Mr. Carnegie in the episode of Faulty Towers 'Basil The Rat'...

...as well as appearing in Porridge, Van der Valk, The Liver Birds, Juliet Bravo and Callan, and briefly in the 1971 film 'Get Carter'. He also appeared in one of the later episodes of Minder in 1993, 'Cars And Pints And Pains' (Series 9 Episode 10), as a car thief who makes off with Arthur's Daimler.

Probably best known for playing Sergeant David Singer in ITV's Strangers, with Don Henderson and Frances Tomelty, but he had many many bit-parts in series such as Z Cars, Dixon of Dock Green, All Creatures Great and Small, and The Sweeney.

Actor John Ronane has died at the age of 85.
Probably best known for playing Sergeant David Singer in ITV's Strangers, with Don Henderson and Frances Tomelty, but he had many many bit-parts in series such as Z Cars, Dixon of Dock Green, All Creatures Great and Small, and The Sweeney.
The episode of The Sweeney that he appears in is 'Trust Red' (Series 4, Episode 4), where he plays Red Redgrave, an ageing member of a gang of safe-breakers with the personal skill of climbing, allowing him to climb into targeted premises before letting the rest of the gang in. His feelings towards this occupation begin to change after a fellow gang-member falls to their death from a building roof.
The thing about John Ronane's portrayal of Red Redgrave is that it is one of the very few sympathetic villains seen in The Sweeney, with his feelings towards crime, the police, the women in his life and his own ageing process changing as he acknowledges his growing age and weakening body. In parallel, John Thaw's Regan is going through exactly the same emotions, with a realisation of his physical vulnerability coupled with an irritation towards Dennis Waterman's young and increasingly cocky Carter. The episode was filmed in 1978, and it was from about this point that the world-weary side of Regan's character came more to the fore, with his doubts about the job and his life very much now on the turn.
As an episode, it lacks any of the stereotypical car-chases or excessive violence, and for those reasons is a stand-out and rather poignant episode of The Sweeney, with an excellent performance from John Ronane. Well worth watching.
