Sad day this, The Wilde Alliance is a thoroughly enjoyable show and I loved him in that. Glynn Edwards starred alongside him in 'The Main Chance'.
The Wilde Alliance is very much worth watching - classic afternoon TV. John Stride was the epitome of 70s telly.
RIP

As you would expect Peter Wyngarde stands out for the most disquieting image on this page but Kenneth Haigh manages a highly commended second place.
