Versatile Brummie actor who first came to the public's attention in the 60's in the likes of Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush and The Virgin Soldiers.
Appeared in all three series of army drama Spearhead playing a sergeant and was Timothy Lumsden's mate in the Ronnie Corbett solo hit Sorry as well as roles in cult favourites Pyschomania and The Land that Time Forgot.
Good solid actor who was always a welcome presence in any production
RIP Sir

I remember him most from pyschomania and as Timothy’s friend in Sorry! He would often make guest appearances in other shows RIP

I am so sorry and sad to hear this.
I interviewed Roy (on stage) about ten years ago and - chatting to him both before and after - found him to be a truly delightful and down to earth bloke. Indeed, I'm tempted to say that his was one of the best interviews I've ever done. An incredibly nice bloke. I can't speak highly enough of him. R.I.P. Roy.

Nice one FC - over on Robin Askwith's Twitter (which is always entertaining 👍🏻) he tells a good anecdote on Roy , who as you say , really did come across as a decent chap. |

I have just received this... "Most of us weren’t really aware of how ill Roy was and how rapidly he had deteriorated in consequence. I’m out at the moment but will try and forward to you a very nice and fond tribute that another of our Stage GS members wrote about Roy yesterday." |
