Conquering underdog


We've lost Hugh Lloyd, who badgered Tony Hancock's blood donor to explain what blood is actually for, and co-starred with Terry Scott in Hugh and I and then Hugh and I Spy (the thought of his plodding silhouette behind the opening credits still makes me chuckle) before blossoming as a serious actor.
