And it was probably his desire to help other people which helped to bring his own career to an end, as I believe he was very tired with Lord Taverner's business (He was president) at the time of his crash, and fell asleep at the wheel. He did seem a very nice, humble and sincere man, and it is a pity more aren't like him in show business today.
Did you know that on 16th September 1992 he visited Headway House at Bristol, responding to an invitation. Headway House is an organisation for people who have suffered brain injuries, and he came home, according to his wife, very moved by what he had seen. Then two and a half weeks later he had the car crash which resulted in him having two blood clots on his brain and ending his career.
Do you have any more of these interviews? (in his home). I went to a party there many years ago (early 80's) and re-visited a few weeks back. His wife still lives in the village I heard!
