On the 29th of October, just as the shops were thronging with people stocking up on costumes and sweets for the annual irritant that is Halloween, Nigel Kneale passed away. A pioneer of genre TV who tirelessly championed the idea that genre was all about characters and that all you ever needed for great genre was a couple of good actors, a set and an idea.
A true great has passed, there should be wine and song.
I'm including a link to his Obituary from the (London) Independent.
