[10ClarionSt]

Such fantastic memories?! What was fantastic about it? Ah well. Shame. RIP.

I'm sobbing

Yes I remember him visiting our school a couple of times, I was just excited to see Darth Vader, albeit the wrong outfit :)
RIP x

He was a bouncer at a nightclub in Bristol called The Glen.

[lady-janine]

He sounds as though he was fun to know. RIP.

[webbo3]

Oh and I met him just over 40 years ago when he visited my boys club.

[david small]

I thought that he’d pegged ages ago. R.I.P.

[Tuvok]

Met him at a convention.

[Mozz71]

I met him at the Celebration Europe convention, must be 15 years ago now, an he looked frail then. Seemed like a lovely, humble fella.

Rest in peace chosen one.

[Bazile]

Was'nt it a shame that his face was not visible , by the very nature of the character

The character was recognisible but not the actor , if you see what I mean

[Mamyalynne]

RIP Dave.

[dannyk13]

I remember him as the Green Cross Cde man.RIP Dave.

[Lie-in King]

Sad news - RIP Dave.

[Arksided]

I remember being told that Darth Vader was played by the Green Cross code man... I didn't believe them at the time.

R.I.P David Prowse

To all accounts a lovely man, RIP Dave.

Darth Vader would have been a different character of they had kept his voice...
Broad Bristolian apparently

[Peter Pedant]

he had a Bristol accent and a tenor voice
so they had a scene where he threatens Princess Leia ( Carrie Fisher for it was she)

a bit like the high pitched one in Morecambe and wise only with a somerset brogue

Princess Leia looks completely stunned - and it is obviously not acting

[Peter Pedant]

que la force soit avec toi
shd you er ever attend a convention en France

[teacake44]

We could do with a weed code man on TV now. You never see an add for kids to leave drugs alone.
