Fred Mumford - Anthony Jackson R.I.P.


Very sadly, on 27th November 2006, Anthony Jackson, who played Fred Mumford in Rentaghost, passed away from cancer. He was 62.

I'm sorry to read that.

I was watching Rentaghost on YouTube yesterday, and it struck me that Mr Jackson had very much a look of its time, in that it was similar to the lead singer of The Wurzels, and also the increasingly portly, Falstaffian Keith Moon, drummer with The Who.

Didn't see him in much later, though my sister pointed him out in an episode of Citizen Smith, as the Italian waiter. But I see he popped up in things like Casualty and The Bill.

Also he was the neighbor (Trevor) in 'Bless This House', and the Spanish prison guard in the 'It Never Rains' episode of 'Only Fools and Horses'
