Remembering George A. Cooper
It was announced yesterday that the British actor George A. Cooper has died at the age of 93.
He had an important role in Hell is a City from 1960, which Talking Pictures TV has been showing recently, but I remember him best in Peter Cook's satire The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer.
Cooper played a Labour prime minister modelled closely on Harold Wilson, seen here being advised and destroyed by Cook's Machiavellian Rimmer.
The scene also shows Cook's limitations as an actor.
