Simon Gipps-Kent

[Marine Boy]

I've recently watched the DVD of the series, 'Midnight is a Place'. It was great to see it again after all these years. The star was Simon Gipps-Kent, a prolific actor in the 1970s. He starred in 'A Traveller in Time' and 'Noah's Castle' as well as appearing in episodes of 'The Tomorrow People', 'Doctor Who (The Horns of Nimon)', and 'To Serve Then All My Days'. His IMDB lists nearly thirty appearences. He died of a morphine overdose in the late 80s.

As such a fixture of seventies tele, I thought it would be nice to mention him on the forum.

Here he is in 'The Horns of Nimon'. Does anyone have any more information about him other than that which appears on IMDB, Wiki, etc.?

I recognise the face but didn't the name. So sad to hear how he died.
