From the Stage
Actor Bernard Archard, one of television’s most familiar faces, has died. He was 91.
Born in London in 1916, the tall, imposing star appeared in series such as Upstairs Downstairs, Rumpole of the Bailey, Krull and The Avengers. He starred in two Dr Who stories, Bragen in The Power of the Daleks and Marcus Scarman in Pyramids of Mars, and he played Leonard Kempinski in Emmerdale.
Archard also had an equally successful film career and played leading roles in The Village of the Damned, The Day of the Jackal, Roman Polanski’s Macbeth and The Sea Wolves.
He died on May 1, 2008. An obituary will appear in The Stage newspaper.
