Always remember him for his brilliant portrayal of Theoden in lord of the rings. RIP.

Such a brilliant character, expertly portrayed by Hill. For anyone who visited desolate pubs in those desolate times, 'Yosser' didn't seem far-fetched at all.


BBC 4 are currently re-running Play for Today on Sunday evenings, maybe they'll show it.
Yeah, hope they do. Yosser Hughes was an iconic character who had the nation feeling for him.

Sad news indeed.

This. I have the boxed set. One of THE great drama series to come from BBC.

From the main Blackstuff cast, only Tom Georgeson and Gary Bleasdale (Dixie and Kevin Dean respectively) are still with us.
Tremendous actor. RIP.
