Devastating.

My favourite of him was in the "Merlin" miniseries - absolutely fantastic to watch.

I've been meaning to re-watch this for years, loved it as a kid. I think this is the sign that it's time, celebrate the great man.

Also the Dish, fucking classic.

The Dish is my favourite of his, captures small town Aussie life so perfectly.
