Science-fiction fandom was praised for its grasp of perspective and appreciation of actors' careers outside of the genre last night as SFX magazine ran an obituary for legendary actor Sir John Mills. Or as SFX put it, "The third best Quatermass. Oh, well, fourth actually if we include Keir from the films."
While candidly admitting that he was "No Tate or Morell," SFX touchingly paid tribute to "the bloke who did it 'cos all the other TV ones were dead by then", and also mentioned his prominent guest role in an episode of 'Morecambe & Wise'.
Sir John Mills also appeared in some films.
