Yes now Cato, RIP Burt Kwouk, that lovely actor who played Inspector Clouseau's servant Cato in the Pink Panther films and was lately in the TV series The Last of the Summer Wine. Aged 85.

Perhaps he will now be unexpectedly attacking Peter Sellers again.

Ah, what a shame. He was in Tenko too, if I remember it right.

Not now, Cato, you fool!

*ring-ring...*

Inspector Clouseau's residence...?

.. and the recently 'rediscovered' serious dour gritty war melodrama "Yesterday's Enemy" (1959) which I would recomend....

Saw it recently on TCM.

[probably last time I saw it on telly was when I was a kid...???]

Hi

Aye - a local lad from Manchester.

Was famous for Kato but had lots of TV and film where he always shone.

Anything from It Ain't Half Hot Mum to Silent Witness.

RIP Bert.

HA! HA! HA! I love how that apartment is perfectly designed for stealthy sneak attacks from all directions.

I thoroughly enjoyed his portrayal of Entwhistle in "Last of the Summer Wine"
