Hugh Walters:
† March 2nd 1939 - February 13 2015
Compact, birdlike actor with a knack for careful speech patterns. He has turned these to good use playing officious, prissy and occasionally camp comedic roles. In drama, he sticks in the memory for his bravura turn as the wheelchair-bound Vic in 'Survivors' which was neither funny nor fussy, and he was in several 'Doctor Who' stories ('The Chase', 'The Deadly Assassin' and 'Revelation of the Daleks'), as well as episodes of 'Z Cars', 'The New Avengers', 'A Fine Romance', 'The Miss Marple Mysteries', 'Rumpole of the Bailey', 'All Creatures Great and Small', 'Lovejoy' and 'Boon'. He was also Alison's father in the clever Simon Callow/Brenda Blethyn comedy 'Chance in a Million'
In the Miss Marple TV mystery 'The Body in the Library' |
With Eleanor Bron in the 1985 'Doctor Who' story 'Revelation of the Daleks' |
In 'The New Avengers' |

Hugh was also Callan's boss Hunter in the early 80s update Wet Job, which for some weird reason included horribly naff incidental music.
