Oyuncu · 1933 – 1997 · Beckenham, Kent, England, UK
James Cossins (4 December 1933 – 12 February 1997) was an English actor. Born in Beckenham, Kent, he became widely recognised as the abrupt, bewildered Mr Walt in the Fawlty Towers episode "The Hotel Inspectors" and as Mr Watson, the frustrated Public Relations training course instructor, in an episode of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em. Cossins was born in Beckenham and educated at the City of London School. After serving in the Royal Air Force, he trained at Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, where he won the silver medal in 1952. Cossins first appeared in repertory theatre and at the Nottingham Playhouse. He played a wide range of characters throughout his colourful and extensive career on television and stage, often portraying blustering, pompous, crusty and cantankerous characters. Cossins appeared in Charley's Aunt at the Apollo Theatre in 1971 with Tom Courtenay, David Horovitch, Garth Forwood, Joanna McCallum, and Celia Bannerman. He appeared in more than forty films, including The Anniversary (recreating his West End stage role), and The Lost Continent (both 1968), Gandhi (1982), and The Man with the Golden Gun (1974). On the small screen, Cossins appeared as a guest in a variety of shows, including The Likely Lads and Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads?, Minder, Bergerac, The Sweeney, Bless This House, Shadows, All Creatures Great and Small, Citizen Smith, Just William, The Good Life, L for Lester, Neville Dennis in Callan "Rules of the Game" (1972), Z-Cars, and as the regular character Bruce Westrop (in 1979) in Emmerdale Farm. He also played Major Bagstock in Dombey and Son (1983), and appeared in the first series of All in Good Faith in 1985. He played a magistrate in episodes of four different British sitcoms, Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads?, The Good Life, Citizen Smith and Minder. Cossins's later appearances were limited by ill health and he lived in semi-retirement in Surrey. Cossins died from heart disease at the age of 63, in 1997

Film7.6DramTarih20. yüzyılın ilk yarısında İngiliz sömürgesi altındaki Hindistan'da geçen film, bağımsızlık mücadelesi için İngiliz yönetimine karşı "Pasif Direniş"i örgütleyen Mahatma Gandhi'nin hayatından bir kesit anlatıyor. En iyi biyografik çalışmalardan biri olarak kabul edilen Gandhi, 11 dalda aday olduğu Oscar ödüllerinden "en iyi film" ve "en iyi yönetmen" dahil tam 8 ödülle döndü. Gandhi rolünde sinema tarihinin en iyi performanslarından birine imza atan usta oyuncu Ben Kingsley'nin ise "en iyi erkek oyuncu" dalında heykelciğe uzanmasıysa pek zor olmadı. Cenaze sahnesinde yaklaşık 300.000 kişinin yer almasıyla da bir film sahnesinde yer alan en kalabalık insan sayısı rekorunu da elinde bulunduran film, çarpıcı sahneleriyle hafızalardan silinmeyecek bir yapıt. Hindistan bağımsızlık hareketinin lideri Gandhi'nin gerçek hayatından sinemaya aktarılan bu gerçekçi yapım, ülkemizde yıllarca yasaklanmış ve gösterime girememişti..

It was the colour sequel to the mid-1960s hit The Likely Lads. It was created and written, as was its predecessor, by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais.

The cast were reunited in 1975 for a BBC radio adaptation of series 1, transmitted on Radio 4 from July to October that year. In 1976, a feature film spin-off was made. Around the time of its release, however, Rodney Bewes and James Bolam fell out over a misunderstanding involving the press and have not spoken since. This long-suspected situation was finally confirmed by Bewes while promoting his autobiography in 2005. Unlike Bewes, Bolam is consistently reluctant to talk about the show, and has vetoed any attempt to revive his character.
