Henry Woolf has died at the grand old age of 91.
He was the hapless Jimmy Dancer in the Sweeney episode 'I want the man', and I clearly remember him presenting BBC2 childrens schools programme Words and Pictures when I was small. He was an academic in Canada in recent years.

Think he did a lot of comedy stuff as well? He was good as Jimmy Dancer, the part could have easily been a caricature but Woolf's performance made you sympathise with him and I think the audience shares Carter's anger at his fate.

"Frankie Barrer" - the Godfather of Shepherd's Bush" in Steptoe and Son Ride Again , and anyone else remember that hideous evil maggot he played in Dr Who ? 🤮
Trivia time - he starred in a 70s shocker with Keira Knightly's father that was so brutal it was practically banned by the authorities (Arch is bound to have a copy tucked away !)
RIP Sir

Another bit of childhood gone. I watched the 'Words and Pictures' episode featuring the 'witches of halloween' recently as part of my traditional halloween viewing season.
