What a way to take his final curtain. Bernard Hill, an actor of unmatched power, and celebrated by two generations for vastly different roles, died yesterday — hours before his final performance aired.
Yosser was unemployable but desperate to work. His catchphrases — 'Gissa job!' and 'I can do that!' — became national slogans. Hill, who was 79, worked little on telly in recent years, picking his jobs with clinical care. Right to the end, his screen presence was undimmed. Merely sitting in front of the TV and glowering in The Responder, he exuded a malevolent power that far exceeded all the threats and violence of this drugs-and-corruption drama.
This grimly gripping thriller by Tony Schumacher started with the scorched intensity of 2022's first series, and floored the accelerator. Living in squalor and facing eviction, Chris loathes his job rounding up drunks and crackheads, and is constantly fighting the temptation to take backhanders. At the urging of his old boss, who promises him life behind a desk as a reward, he agrees to frame a drug dealer.
