Bob Hoskins

[ninja simone]

Just seen that Bob Hoskins died. Here's the Alan Hawkshaw theme tune from the mid-seventies TV programme I first saw him in (possibly not Alan's finest work although I can still instantly bring the tune to mind nearly 40 years on)

Always really liked how he suddenly jumped from doing this to being a massive - and unlikely - film star.

RIP Bob.
I'll never forget the impression that "Pennies from Heaven" had on me. Broadcast in 1978, a time of punk excess, there's this TV series written by the supreme Dennis Potter starring a young Bob Hoskins, with music from the 30's! Absolute magic!!

Agreed - have only seen the Steve Martin version once but it left little impression.
