i love peter cushing! he's the spitting image of my grandad who's also not here now-i thought he made a convincing sherlock holmes which i think is a very difficult role to pull off and one which i am very critical of with most actors! christopher lee is a top drawer thespian also!

Oh, thank you for this. Such a fine actor, and, by all accounts, a delightful man. Lovely to watch some of his finest moments.

I me him while he was doing a Tales of the Unexpected. He was indeed delightful.

glad to hear that he was a nice bloke-there's nothing worse than a hero turning out to be an arrogant git with no time for no-one!

Unfortunately I have met a few of those too .... but their names will remain my secret!

Perhaps it has already been covered but is there some controversy about his last resting place?

He is (obviously) at rest with his beloved Helen, but their grave has been moved to a private place I believe. As far as I can gather he did not want their final resting place to become some sort of shrine.

Having read about their life together I can understand his motives - in death all that he wanted was what he had lost in life, his wife and soulmate. You can understand that someone like Peter would want to spend eternity with her quietly and privately. He did, I believe, have a very strong faith and a belief in the afterlife.

I would have thought, too, Smudge that he would not want some lunatic desecrating it.

Just brought Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell.You cant buy Hammer over here so have to have things sent-bugger.Interesting special feature with commentry by Madeline Smith,David Prowse and genre historian Jonathon Sothcott about Peter Cushing,all agree a great kind man.During this film he is incredibly gaunt due to his sadness at losing his wife.Worth checking out.
