PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Reginald Charles Hill FRSL was an English crime writer, and the winner in 1995 of the Crime Writers' Association Cartier Diamond Dagger for Lifetime Achievement. Brian Glover's first acting job came playing Mr Sugden, the comically overbearing sports teacher in Ken Loach's film Kes. Glover proved to be a skilled and flexible character actor. He played Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream and had a recurring role in the classic sitcom Porridge as dim witted prison inmate Cyril Heslop. He played Quilp in The Old Curiosity Shop, and lent his voice to a number of animated characters, including the gaffer of the Tetley Tea Folk in a long-running series of television advertisements for Tetley Tea.
'Reginald Hill is on stunning form ... the climax is devastating.' -- The Times 'These novels last, like a grand malt whisky.' -- The Mail on Sunday 'One of the masters of the modern police procedural.' -- The Sunday Telegraph
