Loved his work indeed.

My school's play in 1950 was The Ghost Train, written in 1923 by Arnold Ridley, who later played the aged Private Godfrey in Dad's Army. Our lead actor was Frank Williams, who went on many years later to play alongside Mr Ridley as the Vicar of Walmington-On-Sea. Just a bit of small-worldery reminiscence induced by this obit & tribute thread.

I played a handsome young newly-wed, btw ~ cast against type?
