RIP Kenneth Cope (14.4.1931 - 11.9.2024)

"Michael Pratt and I just gelled. We had never met previously but we got on so well. Michael wrote, and we had such a great relationship that we would just change lines, and we were both on the same wavelength. That was such a lucky, lucky thing."

#kenneth cope #rip #death ment tw #character actors #randall and hopkirk (deceased)#x the unknown #the avengers #the criminal #the damned #tomorrow at ten #dateline diamonds #night of the big heat #z cars #dixon of dock green #coronation street #brookside #shelley #doctor who #classic doctor who #strangers #juliet bravo #ohhh :( this one hurts #i adored Randall and Hopkirk as a little kid. i adored Marty. i still do. it's the ITC show with the most heart and the most warmth #where the case of the week often ends up taking a background position to just enjoying Jeff and Marty and Jeannie and all of the #hijinks and whatnot. sigh. i know 93 is a good age and i mean good lord he outlived Mike Pratt by nearly 50 years. but still. I'll miss #you Marty. i usually try and rec a lesser known thing in these memorial posts... The Criminal is a very fine crime film and Dateline #Diamonds might be a bit naff but it did afford Ken one of his only true starring roles (plus Small Faces playing some of their hits!)#but really‚ just watch Randall and Hopkirk. a wonderfully cozy bit of old tv and a beautiful working relationship that shines through #in every single moment. rip Ken.
