Every so often there's a character that should perhaps never be played by any other actor - ever. I think Avon is one such role.
Paul Darrow as Avon.
I cannot imagine anyone else playing this character. Ever?
(Am not sure that that will stop Big Finish though.)

I imagine that a fair few could do a reasonable impersonation of his voice, but none could provide the voice AND that wonderful, unique delivery.

Couldn't find this on IMDB, but a look at the end credits says it's a crime prevention drama/public information film, sponsored by various electricity companies, etc.

Paul in his blink and you miss it role as a Doctor in "Die Another Day"..... "Die Another Day" (2002)
Hope Paul didn't think he was re-enacting "Terminal" again.

Loved his autobiography too - told with all the usual Darrow sense of humour throughout....

Hamlet Cigars - Columbus (1979, UK) Funnily enough I do recall this advert - but (oddly) never realised that it was Mister Darrow until now. It also reminds me of the other time he defied a crew's advice and insisted on flying another ship through fluid particles. It's just always going to end in tears.
