A fabulous character actor. Its rarely repeated but Our Friend in the North is one of the greatest dramas of last 20 years. His performance as the father of Chris Eccelston , in particular the scenes where he was suffering from demetia was very powerful and would bring tears to a glass eye

My Uncle was in the Army with him during World War Two... rather divergent paths "I went to fight in Tunisia... he went to Stars in Battledress!"

I think Grouty was only in 3 episodes of Porridge; 2 regular and 1 Christmas Special although he may have been mentioned in a few more

He was outstanding in Our Friends in the North with one Daniel Craig, an always reliable actor who never fails to please.

Thought I'd bump the old Peter Vaughan thread as he's died aged 93.

He lived to a remarkable age. I am pleased to see this news added to a thread about him. I prefer this to multiple threads.
Bumped this because it had lots of good things to say about him. |

Just recently watched Our Friends in the North, just before Peter died. He was an outstanding actor and his scenes particularly in the 1995 year of OFITN were amongst the best acting I have seen, where he plays an elderly gent suffering from dementia, it would bring a tear to a glass eye
RIP Peter |

Over the weekend, I watched one of the BBC's A Ghost Story for Christmas films that Peter starred in, 'A Warning to the Curious'.
Absolutely brilliant and chilling short film and Peter's performance is superb. |

Going back further he was great in The Gold Robbers as the lead. Available on DVD from Network.
