    Been in loads of stuff this fella. I grew up watching Jeavons from various kids’ programmes onwards. My favourite three roles of his where Solly in Only Fools…, The MC at the Resteraunt At The End Of The End Of The Universe in Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy (where he basically does a brilliant take on Joel McRea in Caberet)and the ill-fated Donald in Dennis Potter’s sublime Blue Remembered Hills (gives a shattering performance in that and is more the equal of Michael Elphick and even Helen Mirren). Also, does anyone recall a sci-fi/sit-com he did called Kinvig? Only mention it because he co-starred in that with another superb, but somewhat overlooked actor, Tony Haygarth.

      I KNEW COLIN AT SCHOOL, HE MOVED TO THE WEST MIDLANDS WHEN HE WAS THREE YEARS OF AGE, WE WENT TO THE SAME SCHOOL TOGETHER, THEN AT REACHING THE AGE OF ELEVEN HE MOVED TO COLLEGE FROM THEN ON ACTING CAREER WAS INEVITABLE, I THINK EVERYTHING HE HAS APPEARED IN HAS BEEN VERY GOOD. GOOD LUCK TO HIM IN THE FUTURE. BILL.

        You stated that ‘you knew Colin at school’, then why did you have to repeat yourself with the line ‘we went to the same school together’?
