I am a great admirer of Richardson, and very sad I only became properly aware of his work since his death. Just stumbled upon your blog today, and learning so much more about what a versatile actor he was. <br /><br />KitAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4918488351117814504.post-27236067598369569042010-01-16T16:49:15.913-08:002010-01-16T16:49:15.913-08:00A great many people assumed that Ian was knighted ...A great many people assumed that Ian was knighted - if you do a Google search on 'Sir Ian Richardson', you'll get quite a lot of hits.<br /><br />A great many people thought that he should have been knighted.SharonMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369769107190148944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4918488351117814504.post-66742278774845745292010-01-12T10:04:00.660-08:002010-01-12T10:04:00.660-08:00He *wasn't* knighted?

They even had Tom Baker in one of the episodes.<br /><br />Yes, she should have had something (and sometimes I'm confused and think that she has) - just as Ian should have been knighted. Many of the recipients have deserved their awards and many others haven't. By the same token, I can think of several people - like Margaret and Ian (though he was made a CBE in 1989) who should have received more recognition.SharonMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369769107190148944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4918488351117814504.post-81988902668060674312010-01-01T12:39:42.840-08:002010-01-01T12:39:42.840-08:00I'd never heard of that, Sharon.

Looks as if it would be right up my street.<br /><br />On the awards front - I've always wondered why Margaret TD has never received one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316263425112020638noreply@blogger.com
