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!

@BringMeTea

I think *@LemonJuiceFromConcentrate* is going to be right. It's going to be Dean Andrews again.
Grin It was 2006/7 when I saw him on a train (I remember because I was pregnant with dc1). We were in seats facing each other and we had a small laugh about the train to Scotland running out of shortbread.

Neil Pearson?

I did once see one of the McGann brothers on a train, (the one in Upper hand). He was very well dressed.

Aw, that's a nice wee story @LemonJuiceFromConcentrate. And on a train. He could be the new Anthony Head.

Monolithique · 28/10/2021 21:14

I though of Simon Shepherd but he was discounted up thread.
