John Standing:
A baronet in real life, he has made quite a
career from playing patrician roles, and the occasional butler, in
television and film over the years. A lot of cult TV boxes are ticked,
including 'The Avengers', 'The Saint', 'Danger Man' and 'Space: 1999',
and movies good and bad, from 'The Elephant Man' and 'V For Vendetta' to
'The Au Pair Girls' and 'Torture Garden'...
