RIPs

[Dark Jimbo]

Shame. He really was a great talent. RIP Edward.

[Hoagy]

Yeah, just heard there was a late Equalizer, he did a fantastic turn in Hot Fuzz. A real great.

[JamesC]

Ah, that's a shame, I really liked Edward Woodward. My nanny used to let me stay up and watch the Equaliser when I was a little boy.

I once had to write a story about where I lived using only two sentences (it was an A-level English excercise). Mine was:

Edward Woodward went for a swim in the sea and banged his head on a bit of drift wood wood wood. It was in Gorleston.

[Professor Bear]

That's a shame to hear.

Beaten to mentioning Crusade, a show whose ambition outstripped the abilities of those involved to make television, though I notice that all the tv shows Mike Gloady mentions starred Daniel Day Kim - what's your beef with Koreans, Mike?

Woodward did that binmen show that got on my tits, but he also did Wicker Man, Callan, Equalizer - quality shows that rightly overshadow his odd miss.

[JayzusB.Christ]

See ya, Eddie, you'll be missed. The Wicker Man is still one of my all-time favourites, and Nicholas Cage and his piss-weak remake only serve to show how Mr Woodward's talent shone in the real film.

[JOE SOAP]

We are all Equalised in death.

[Adrian Bamforth]

Great sham, though I glad he got to doi a bit of Eastenders only recently.

He was married to Michelle Dotrice, 'Betty' of Some Mothers Do 'Av 'Em...I think it was Terry Wogan who once said that when they were together you "couldn't see Woodward for Dotrice".

[SuperSurfer]

Sad to hear that Edward Woodward passed away. What is quite weird is that I was playing the Equalizer theme tune on Spotify just a few days ago as I was trying to find the Rumblefish soundtrack.

I'm watching 'Hot Fuzz' in his honour

Heart attack at 44! That's bloody scary. One of the first rappers I ever heard. Sad News.

[Zarjazzer]

RIP Edward Woodward. Met the great equaliser. That episode of Callan (I suppose ironic now) and called "That 'ull be the day" (that I die) is just a classic of TV.

[uncle fester]

Derek B?! Man, that's no age to check out... That first record was great.

[Christov]

Poor old Eddie. May have to watch The Wicker Man this weekend now.

[johnnystress]

A friend and all around lovely guy, Skinny from ColdWar (as mentioned in an ABC Warriors story recently) passed away last night

Very sad

Here he is singing with his old band Coitus
