I was very saddened yesterday to learn of the loss of one of the all-time great actors of the small and silver screen: Bob Hoskins was so good in so many things that all over social media friends were posting their favourite movie or show or scene, and there were countless different things being chosen: Roger Rabbit, Mona Lisa, The Long Good Friday, The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne, Mermaids, to name but a few.
Personally, I remember him best for one of his earlier stunning TV appearances, in Pennies From Heaven in 1978. According to Wikipedia's page for the show, it was his breakout role: and even now, 36 years later, I can still recall how good he was in it.
Yours, raising a glass to his memory,
