I was very upset when I heard that Roy Clarke had died. Then someone told me that they had been speaking to him earlier. Unfortunately their is more than one Roy Clarke in the world and BAFTA had got it wrong again.
The same thing happened when Richard Attenborough was sitting at home looking reports all over the US about his sudden death. It was his younger and little known brother Jonathon who had died. The US media (not knowing that their was a third brother) assumed that since David was still around, it must have been Richard who had died.
