I have heard on the grapevine that sadly Tony has passed away today. Best known to us as Bill the driver. Very sad news indeed. RIP Tony.

Very sad news indeed. I know having spoken with Aitch that Tony hadn't been in the best of health in recent years.
RIP Tony. No one else could have played Bill as you did.

That's sad, RIP.
I wish they had developed his part somewhat more.

Be nice if the coffin passed by NHK. I wonder if he was aware that NHK was more or less back on the road after all these years? It'd be nice if he did know.

I liked Tony's character Bill. He had the odd line here and there and could of easily featured a bit more, maybe having a bit of banter in the car with Regan and Carter. He was an under used resource for sure, that said he still had a presence in the show.
RIP Tony
