Not too familiar with him, but I am sure he was seen advertising something to do with elderly or disability aids on daytime television in the last 10 years - one tended to feel sorry to see someone like him who was once quite famous, being demoted to the ad breaks during the day.

That's the one - it's like when the late John Stalker was relegated to daytime TV ad breaks flogging security garage doors. One cannot help feeling sorry for Darrow being limited to breaks during Countdown and the like promoting mobility scooters.

I was gutted when I heard about his death. That'll be it I think for the new Big Audio Blake's 7 adventures with his passing even though there will be 2 posthumous releases with Darrow appearing as Avon in November 2019/February 2020.
