Made me think of the Best British Films thread when I read of his passing. Perhaps known to most as Tinker in the Lovejoy TV series but I'm sure he must have appeared in a few of the films we listed on the thread.

Was often in Sweeney Minder type programmes as a lovable rogue and an actor who I could never remember his name even though he had an unforgettable face
'I'm 18 with a bullet.Got my finger on the trigger,I'm gonna pull it.."
Love,Peace and Fook Chelski!
More like 20StoneOfHoop now.
Let's face it I'm not getting any thinner.
Pass the cake and pies please.

Some friends threw a party in a village hall in a remote part of a remote part of the West Country many years ago. Everyone was encouraged to do a turn. I may have done a few numbers with a shambling Cajun band. Later in the evening Dudley Sutton got up on stage. He was sort of half in drag with a load of greasepaint and slap on. The rest of the hall was dark and he held a single light to illuminate his face. He had a demonic mischievous twinkle in his eye and he sang a song or did a monologue or both. It was magical, harking back to the old musical hall days. It reminded me of the scene in Blue Velvet when Dean Stockwell sings Candy Coloured Clown. He may have even sang that song or Blue Velvet. My memory fails me and I was most likely trolleyed anyway but whatever he sang he captivated the whole room. A proper old school boho-thesp. A great actor. He had the magic. RIP Dudley.

That's a nice story, thanks for posting it. I imagine there will be an obituary in the Times soon, he's the sort of character that they feature.
