There was a segment of BBC World Newshour about Gambon.

It absolutely gushed with praise for the actor and
noted before he turned to drama he was more known for his
comedic work. I guess he got his "Sir" based on the
dramatic stuff.

If anyone would care to sample his pre-drama comedy,
look around for a BBC sitcom he did with Richard Briers
called "The Other One."

I bought the DVD based on Briers being in it, but it
was so bad that I was embarrassed for the actors while
I watched it.

It was sooooo bad! Anyone wants the Region 2 DVD of it,
I'd be more than happy to mail it to anyone who wants it.

Nyssa, who got suckered into it by Briers, but Gambon
was no thrill in it either

P.S.: RIP Michael Gambon. I won't hold one turkey against
the rest of your outstanding career

I thought they were talking about Michael Gaston, a great character actor,
one of those guys you know on sight from dozens of shows and movies but
never know their names. I was about to be sad because he's a relatively
young guy but I knew he didn't play Dumbledore, so I realized it must be
someone else.

Holy fuck, that's a Sherlock Holmes level deduction! If only Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle were alive today to write about it!

He was great as Maigret. Too bad there are so few episodes.
