That's the one
I did think it was Robert hardy

[BlackadderV]

I'm almost certain it IS Robert Hardy. It's his voice.

[tonyav]

I can see what you mean, but I'm not to sure if it's him.

[Tilly2]

He does look very familiar.

[Mamyalynne]

I don't think he is an actor,may be wrong.

Robert Hardy is now 89. I still think it's him.

[Peter Pedant]

I thought it was Robt Hardy but he looks pretty well ... old

That is the prob with old fims and repeats
I saw White Mischief the other night and Hughie Grant ( first scene bit part ) looks so YOUNG, and so did Liam Neelsen ( bit part in first polo scene ) and so did Gregor Fisher ( without accent and handkerchief - farm factor )

so it can be a bit confusing

I should have said not 'that' actor of course.

[cully]

It is not Robert Hardy. Neither speaking nor acting.

[Mamyalynne]

No,he's called Kent and he's 84.

[Zeuhl]

the whole point of the campaign is that these are genuine customers and staff

so they will be either that; or 'unknowns'

If you were paying for RH you'd make the most of him not hide him away.

So it wasn't likely to be RH hidden away in there - and isn't.
