I love Excalibur ( my favourite of all the Arthurian movies) but I had to google him as I would never have recognised the name.

Bad news indeed - and joining Nicol Williamson four years ago - for me the definitive Arthur and Merlin.

[Colin YNWA]

Did not realise that. As Jim said seemed to pass with little fanfare. Which seems strange given how Excalibur seemed so significent a film for my generation and for all of Nicol Williamson's dominance in the scenes he appears, Nigel Terry is quite superb and works as a perfect foil, in what I always thought was the starring role.

No age either.

Sad to hear of the passing of Nigel Terry, but gladdened by reading The Guardian obituary and discovering he had an extensive career on the stage, his acting passion of choice, as i always had him in the "whatever happened to?" category.

He was excellent in Excalibur, a movie that still holds some magic for me, and for that I'm eternally grateful.

RIP Nigel.

Dunk!

Awww, that is very sad news. I was too young to really have a crush on her, but I remember her character vividly. I was also happy to see her in Star Trek: TMP. RIP.

Given the life she suffered, 85 is a pretty amazing age to get to.
