Have only just spotted this.
Actor Michael Redfern died at the age of 79 back in July. Best known for his long-standing role as Dad in the OXO adverts alongside Lynda Bellingham, I also remember he appeared prominently as a CI5 agent in The Professionals episode 'Fall Girl', and apparently also in Minder's 'Hypnotising Rita'.

I was thinking of Michael recently as I recalled an episode of Sorry he appeared in, which I'd taped on its original broadcast circa '82 and watched a few times. Michael's brief appearance in Minder stood out when he firmly told Arthur where to go over a vanload of tangerine paint (typical Arthur deal) and his CV included working with small screen legends the two Ronnies and Dick Emery, along with a straight role in Out, which is currently being shown on Talking Pictures and of course was yet another of Euston TV's gems.
RIP Michael.

R.I.P Mike Redfern . I also remember him having two roles in George & Mildred . He was the dodgy car dealer that George bought the old caravan off , that ended up being towed to the scrap yard . In a later episode , when pregnant neighbour , Ann Fourmile is being rushed to hospital by husband Jeffery , he is the motorcycle cop that pulls them over for speeding .

A familiar face if not necessarily a familiar name. Popped in many shows I've watched and enjoyed. RIP.
