Not a name I was familiar with, Vi. But as soon as I saw the clips I recognised him. Sad news. RIP.

A great actor with such a distinctive voice. He even once played James Bond.
Excellent in Tinker Tailor with great on screen chemistry with Alec Guinness.
RIP Michael Jayston

Sad news.
I do remember him in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy but not much else.

R.I.P Michael Jayston, I have possibly seen him in roles but never realised his name. Although one role that springs to mind for me is the Only Fools and Horses episode "Time On our Hands" from Dec 1996; He was of course Raquel's dad;
