    What a shame, no age.

    A very clever and talented chap.

    RIP.
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    I was a massive WLIIA fan in the day, always enjoyed John's contribution, very quick and off the wall (reminded me somewhat of Robin Williams, not his pace but no-one could be). Sorry he's gone. RIP.

    A very good character actor as well; gone far too young.

    RIP.

    A shame, I enjoyed him in WLIIA and he's often lifted a minor part in a film to the most memorable thing about it.

    Thanks again Tony, I must admit Stella St had passed me by, that's my next few evenings sorted. (o;

    And another WL clip with JS (there's also a Part 2 and a Part 3, same title theme):

    I was shocked and saddened to read of John Sessions’ death earlier, I've long been a fan of his. As well as his more popular work on TV he was in the radio adaptations of the “By The Way” column that the marvellous J.B Morton wrote for many years as Beachcomber.

    Read his obituary and that led me to rediscover Porterhouse Blue in which he starred. It's on the Channel 4 catch up service. Enjoying it
