    Sad to hear that the very fine South Shields born actor, John Woodvine, has died today aged 96. Probably best known for his role as the doctor in "An American Werewolf In London". Older ones might remember him in "When The Boat Comes In" as Les Mallow and more recently he appeared as Frank Gallagher's dad in "Shameless".

    RIP

    Didn't know the name, instantly recognised the face, seems to have been in everything I grew up watching. RIP.

    Always played his part well and didn’t even look like he was acting, South Shields has lost a good ‘un.

    I'm sure there's "A small Guinness" on the bar for you. Rest easy.
