Thanks to Jan Poston for sharing this photo of her father, Ron Poston, with actor Warren Clarke, who died 12 Nov 2014. Ron was a doorman at the BBC Club at Pebble Mill. The Club was well frequented by BBC staff as well as actors, at lunchtimes and in the evenings. The photo was taken just before Pebble Mill closed in late 2004.

The following comments were left on the Pebble Mill Facebook page:

Mark Hellings: ‘Sad to hear of the death of Warren Clarke, but wow, the picture of Ron takes me right back to the liquid lunches over at the club – terrific picture!’

Andy Bentley: ‘I’ve poured Warren in to a few taxis when they were doing Dalziel and Pascoe. He always liked the end of run parties in the boardroom. Colin Buchanan would phone down to Reception and ask us to get a cab and give him a hand. Always great fun though.’

Karen White: ‘Ahhh Ron. Also a great gentleman’
