Warder Sidney Crout in Two Way Stretch, Insp. "Nosey" Parker in Wrong Arm of the Law, Professor Cavor in First Men In The Moon, and of course Grandpa Potts in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang; Director of The Railway Children, The Amazing Mr Blunden and The Water Babies has passed away at the age of 83.

In missing him we`ll probably see more of him. No doubt a film or two will be shown in memoriam.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary

Fun fact, even though he played Dick Van Dyke`s father in Chitty Chitty Bang bang, he`s actually 3 years younger

will be greatly missed

Yeah, we was a great actor - had some amazing parts.

My husband came home last night and said that the fella in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang had died, I said "Dick Van Dyke?", and he said yes, so this has put me straight...

Husbands are bloody useless! :p

RIP Lional. Liked his acting a lot. I`ve never seen Chitty Chitty Bang Bang but I believe it was written by Ian Flemings who wrote the James Bond books, but I expect you all know that.

Yep. :D

Didn`t know he did those kind of films ;)

Live a life you love, use a god you trust, and don`t take it all too seriously

There`s always someone around who`ll lower the tone... :p

"There`s a time and a place" my mother always said. tut tut.

RIP Lionel .

Edward Judd and Lionel in First Men On The Moon stirred my interest in all things sci-fi and I am thankful to both for that :)

Ian :)

RIP Lionel.

I hadn`t heard this sad news until I read this thread :(

He was a great actor and director.
