I saw him on a train. Can’t for the life of me remember who he is.

He’s a British tv actor, probably in his 50s or early 60s. Grey hair, used to be blonde. Piercing blue eyes. Often plays a hero/ love interest type role.

a bit like Greg wise but shorter!

I feel sure he was in a Sunday night drama or a soap or something but I can’t find him online! It’s driving me mad!

Ah Christ. I thought when I opened the thread with 350 messages that someone would have got it by now. I mean the first name that came to my mind was a certain A. Head but he’s not really Posh Leeds.

Jeremy Bamber? Has he been put forward?
