I remember Charles Tingwell very well from his numerous tv appearances, even as far back as Emergency Ward 10.
An excellent actor. He will be sadly missed .

Just been on Google Images to see Bud, and yes he was a very familiar face on TV, just his name didn't ring a bell with me :wink: I remember seeing him in Neighbours not so long ago :( RIP

Very sad to hear the passing of Charles Tingwell. We remember him as far back as Emergency Ward 10 too, and in so many roles since.

Sorry to hear this. I particularly remember him as the Inspector in the Miss Marple films, which I've always enjoyed. But 86 is a good innings. R.I.P., Charles.
