Ian Richardson's ashes are being buried in the new RSC Theatre -

He was one of my favourite actors ever, having played Sherlock Holmes, Joseph Bell in Murder Rooms, the voice of Death in Hogfather, and let's not forget Francis "You might think that, but I couldn't possibly comment" Urqhart. I'm so glad I went to see him live in "The Creeper" (twice!) and waited to get an autograph from him in what turned out to be his last live performance, the year before his death.

And now, he's liable to haunt the RSC forever...
