I feel like the grim reaper here but I have another death to report :roll:
William Frankiin has died from prostate cancer at the age of 80.


I remember William Franklin more for his voice talent than actually for his on screen performances, particulary for his Schweppes commercials (Schh You Know Who!!) . He had that voice which (to quote from Anchorman) 'would make a wolverine purr' :wink:
Obviously he did do some TV work I particulary remember Top Secret, and recently I thought he was excellent as the voice of the book in the Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.
What a shame, although i never thought of him as that old. I'll miss him. He was still doing radio work.
