SSD Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 RIP Bernard. I painted a model figure of them not long ago as King Theoden from Lord of the Rings alongside my nephew. Great childhood memories. DCFC Kicks, DarkFruitsRam7 and Crewton 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His King Theoden was very good too. Stive Pesley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewton Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 It came out of the original Play for Today called The Black Stuff from a couple of years earlier (well worth hunting down if you haven't seen it) and Bernard Hill's performance stands as one of the greatest TV performances of any era.

TigerTedd Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 To be honest I had no idea this was the same guy as gis a job. I was too young for yosser, to be honest, but I’m aware of him. But to me, he is most definitely king theoden. ere the sun rises. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
