R.I.P. Gareth Thomas

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Blake's 7 was the one show i was allowed to stay up late to watch when i was a nipper. Gareth Thomas was a total ledge as Blake, and it was brilliant how he was omnipresent throughout the show even when he left for (almost) 2 series. Anyone remember Children of the Stones too? Bloody classic. If you have 3hrs to spare, make sure you catch all 3 parts of this docco: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQn-iXhepyI

R.I.P. Gareth Thomas! :notworthy:

He was in an episode of the the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes too.

Yeah Children of the Stones was filmed at Avebury. It's possible to pick up a copy on torrent sites.

Sad loss. He was a great actor.
