Used to watch Petrocelli every week and from what I remember it seemed to be the same story every week. He never did finish the house.
My Dad was a big Alistair MacClean fan so I can remember watching Fear is the Key.
RIP Barry.

Remember watching Vanishing Point for the first time as a late night film on ITV, it was probably the first type of that film I’d seen as was only a young teenager at the time had a big effect on my future film viewership.RIP

Much underrated as an actor. Petrocelli played on Irish TV also. Turned up as a movie producer in Miss Marple in the 1980s, saw it on Drama recently. There was a guy near us who was also building his own house, you can guess what we called him. RIP Barry.

Sad to learn of his passing. Fear Is The Key is often shown on TPTV and is always worth a viewing , used to watch Petrocelli when I was a kid too.
RIP Sir

Thought he was good as Peter Fonda's henchman in The Limey. Enjoyed Vanishing Point when I saw it last year.

RIP Sir Petrocelli was a good TV show when I was a kid (on BBC1 at around 9.25pm? ) and much better than some of the tripe now on but only lasted 2 seasons.

I'm a big fan of Murder, She Wrote (ploughing through it now) and he was the star of season six episode Class Act. In an episode with three beautiful women; Hallie Todd (in my Top One), Lise Humbolft and Heather McAdam, he still stands out. Great character and well played. Watching now as mark of respect and because its best episode... Ahh, RIP Mr Newman.

Just realised he was in another episode ('cause I just watched it) called Snow White, Blood Red. Great performance and had me guessing. Never heard of Petrocelli but episodes on YouTube, so I'll watch some later...
