Oliver Reed:
Was there any acclaimed British actor of that era who wasn’t a massive, massive pisshead ?
Reed, Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Peter O’Toole, Robert Shaw, Anthony Hopkins ( stopped drinking in the 70s to be fair )

I used to stop in at his favourite near-theatre pub occasionally.
I would say very much no, but Reed was in a class of his own.
Yep, his antics sounded equally hilarious and pathetic all at the same time.
Star Wars legends Alex Guinness ( despite the surname ), Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee seemed to have escaped the drinking curse.

Red 11 and 8 turn up and the fighting stops. Unsurprisingly.

@taniwharugby Hard to believe that was almost 30 years ago, remember it vividly.
Didn't know about his Bristol background or that he had died. Great read

Distinctly recall the noise about the cost of the rescue. Ignoring two key points:
- It's in our sphere of responsibility so we're obligated as a country.
- The vast majority of the costs are sunk given they came out of the military. You're paying for it anyway.
The fact he kept himself alive for so long and had the calmness of mind to ensure he maximised his chances were impressive.
Although when he capsized again years later I had some sympathy for the calls to tell him to give it up.
