Very good actor. Will be missed.

Will forever be remembered as King Theoden in Lord of the Rings.



Arise, arise, riders of Théoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A sword day, a red day, ere the sun rises!

I met him and his family a few times. I shall say nothing about him.
Boys from the black stuff is fucking iconic though.

Yeah I didn't want to mention he liked the rags. Oh well no one's perfect!

City! City! City!
Best club in the land and all the world!

Wow, only just discovered/realised that Yosser Hughes was also the Captain of the Titanic. Guess someone eventually gave him a job!

‘Gissa job!’ How Bernard Hill created one of TV’s most tragic and unforgettable characters

Playing unhinged head-butting Yosser Hughes in Boys from the Blackstuff made Hill a legend. But, from Titanic to The Lord of the Rings, his entire 50-year career was outstanding
