Gordon Jackson was a hit with my dad. If anyone asked him who his favourite Professional was, he'd say "Cowley", and he'd have the name out there before you even finished the question.

Of course, being of shallow tastes then, I had no idea what he was talking about until I watched some of Jackson's earlier work. Brilliant actor, and it is my loss that I never saw him onstage. His roles in The Great Escape and Those Magnificent Men are my favourites.

Mr. Jackson, you are greatly missed, sir.

he died a long time ago as did the lady who played Mrs Bridges.

First saw him in Tight Little Island (Whisky Galore); have been fond of him ever since. Couldn't figure out why heroine in Town Called Alice chose Brian whatsit over Gordon!

I love Gordon Jackson too, he was good at playing the gentle but firm scotsman. I first saw him as Macdonald in The Great Escape and then in The Iprcress File before finally discovering he got a lead in The Professionslas, havent seen Upstairs Downstairs
