βDid you know that Dec was in Star Wars?β π€―
He played the original Jabba the Hutt and very patiently answered all my nerdy questions and came to a Star Wars event that I ran at Waterstones in Epsom, which got him on the convention circuit. Dec also pops up in Time Bandits, Theatre of Blood >>
I donβt get much Star Wars memorabilia these days, but itβs not often that someone you knew ends up as a figurine. Claire and I worked with the actor Declan Mulholland at Unity Theatre in a production of OβCaseyβs Red Roses for Me. We were halfway through rehearsals when someone said... >>

Very sad to hear of the passing of Rob Grant. I had the pleasure of interviewing him a couple of times and he was always great fun. And to have been the creator of Red Dwarf is a hell of a legacy.
