your answer to the last question..............Brian Glover.

well..... some years ago i was taking Irene home to London.
On a kent railway station....when i heard a familier voice,
standing next to us. it was Brian Glover.he had been in a play at the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury. it had just finished its run there, and Bian and two actors with him were going back to their homes, i imagine. we did not talk to Brian and his friends... as we did not want to interupt their conversation. nice man.
Brian is in some episode of `Porridge`....................

Yes he was Smiler,wonder what he is doing now ?

He Died in 1997 of a brain tumor

 i thought that Brian had died, but i was not sure,
 thats why i never replied to Mac... 10 years ago ?
 time does fly......................  hello Skeggy.

Aww how sad,sorry to hear that
he was a good actor
