Watching this again, it really looked like that was Ian Holm in the coffin as Carter's brother, Frank.
Anyone else who takes a close look at the dvd think that might be the case?
There is a resemblance, but it's not Holm. The hair is not right, for one thing.
shareFrank's brother is played by Kenneth Cope, who was known for playing Hopkirk in RANDALL AND HOPKIRK (DECEASED).

I thought it looked a lot like Ralph Bates!
shareCope and Bates did look quite alike!
