DAVE PROWSE R.I.P.

Another sad passing, sorry to hear that Mr Darth Vader, Dave Prowse has died.
Here's a photo of Mr Prowse and myself at a sci fi convention that took place in Hemsby.
Although well known as the man behind the Darth Vader mask, Dave's favourite role was as the road safety super hero,The Green Cross Code Man.
I have to say he certainly came across as a lovely fella, and was certainly a hit with the fans. Our sincere condolences to his family.

  1. Really sad news Scoop. I always liked Dave's big presence in films and the TV. I remember vividly watching the Green Cross Code on the telly eating my chippy tea in the Seventies. So great you got to meet the great man. I never felt he got the credit he served for his role as Darth Vader. RIP Dave Prowse.

  3. He was involved in quite a few cult films and TV series. Space 1999 fans remember him in the episode The Beta Cloud even though he was wearing a monster suit!
