    I met this lovely man in the toilets of the White Swan, Alnwick, in the late 70's. I should explain, my pals and I were jobbing extras on Mr More's film 'The Spaceman and King Arthur'. We were scrubbing ourselves in the loos (camping nearby) when in walked Mr More and John Le Mesurier - well what gentlemen they were, kind thoughtful, funny and caring - old school!

    First film I remember of his was Man in the Moon. I was 6, so 1991. Growing up I saw more old movies than contemporary so these films seemed 'new' then. Watching it a voice in my head says I like this chap, he's great. Now, 37, Kenny remains my favourite.

      Terry Court ,now that you mention it,that would have been great casting.Kenneth was an insightful actor who would have been convincing
      as the indifferent bachelor and with his natural warmth and charm, would have won us over in the final scenes.I have most of his films on
      DVD and I enjoy them all.In “North West Frontier”,he brought out a natural warmth in Lauren Bacall that I had never noticed before.
