During the 1970s the actor with whom I did most BBC shows as a floor manager and first assistant director was Frank Windsor. He was always funny and possessed an underused talent for comedy. Rehearsals were a joy, particularly if Terence Rigby, his old sparring partner from Softly Softly, was in the cast. But when it came to the shoot Frank was always a consummate professional.
He functioned on two hours’ sleep a night. We often referred to him as Dracula Reincarnate and commiserated with his wife, Mary, for having to cope with his nocturnal other life.
