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!

I can't believe it's taken this long until Danny Webb gets a mention.

Yes, he's also in daytime tv things on BBC

I thought Samuel West too, with the 'northern English rural backdrop'. Not sure he's 'rugged though (sorry Sam, love you).

JaneJeffer · 29/10/2021 17:23

You could have mentioned him earlier @SwedishEdith!

LoisLane66 · 29/10/2021 17:25

Richard E Grant

JaneJeffer · 29/10/2021 17:25

Maybe it was Peter Davison?

DaisyNGO · 29/10/2021 17:25

The OP has forgotten about this thread.
Or...it's not an actor, just looks like someone.

Moonshine90 · 29/10/2021 17:25

Paul McGann?

Yes. You know how people see actors and think it's someone they know, I think the reverse has happened here Grin

I have already made peace with the fact that it was probably one of the (grand)dads from the school gate. That or Graham Norton.

tiredanddangerous · 29/10/2021 17:31

Slightlylostalongtheway · 29/10/2021 17:32

Is it Paul Nicholas? He was on tv this week...he played love interests in the 80's

Bebethany · 29/10/2021 17:34

Why didn’t you ask him!! 😂😂

Anastar23 · 29/10/2021 17:35

I’m invested! Who was it?!

Arona · 29/10/2021 17:35

Could it be any of these

Robert Daws, Paul Fox or Robert Cavanah.

Had a look through shows I used to watch when I was younger and these are the only 3 that kinda fit the description.
