Was this a good series, does anyone know?

I actually watched a relative go from coherent to incoherent stages of lucidness and memory, off and on, during each day and over the course of just a few months, at the end of which the doctors declared her at the “end of life” stage of dementia; when nearly all food and liquid consumption stopped, an IV drip helped for awhile, and a feeding tube was not recommended as the most it would do is artificially prevent the total shutdown her body was going through, for awhile. The relative with her durable power of attorney agreed with the doctors to not install the feeding tube. I had one moment in my second visit with her those few months, when she suddenly totally recognized me and we talked just a little. Two hours later she knew me not and was hitting me for the slight touch of my hand on her arm. Painful to watch.

I remember seeing him in several of the BBC Shakespeare Plays series from the early 80's. Off the top of my head, I think he played Lord Talbot in Henry VI, Part One, Jack Cade in Henry VI Part Two, Feste in Twelfth Night and Titus Andronicus. Fine actor.

Interestingly, Trevor Peacock wrote the Herman’s Hermits hit, “Mrs Brown You’ve Got a Lovely Daughter.” I thought he was the funniest person on TVoD.
