Very Sad News about Lewis Collins. A lovely and very handsome man.

Does anyone remember him in the 1970s Sit-Com THE CUCKOO WALTZ with Diane Keen and David Roper?

Very sad especially that he had to fight cancer for so long too.

I used to love the programme and fancied both of the actors when it first came on screen.

Rest in peace, Lewis, you will always be remembered by so many.

How very sad I was once at a golf dinner with him he was a charming man very unassuming with a dry sense of humour, he thought it was so funny when I said I preferred Martin Shaw. RIP

The Professionals star Lewis Collins has died aged 67, his agent has said.

The actor, who played Bodie in the cult 1970s TV series, alongside Martin Shaw, died in Los Angeles after a five-year struggle with cancer.
