- Five days before dying, he gave a very moving interview in Paul Eddington (1995), an episode from the revival of Face to Face (1959). He discussed his childhood and parents, his schooling as a Quaker, his acting career, the challenges of having an unknown illness followed by a decade knowing that it would be fatal, and how his skin condition made it no longer possible to be cast for television. With typical modesty, he said that his epitaph should simply be, "He did very little harm".
- He was awarded the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the 1987 Queen's New Year Honours List for his services to drama.
- He was awarded the 1992 London Critics Circle Theatre Award (Drama Theatre Award) for Best Actor for his performance in "No Man's Land.".
- The first time the cast of The Good Life (1975) ever met as a group was in the garage of a private home, in the middle of winter. As they were actors, the quite proper woman who owned the place refused to let them into the house.
- A memorial service was held for him at St. Paul's Church, Covent Garden on 29th February 1996.
- People abroad tended to play safe and treat me as a minister, just in case.
- A journalist once asked me what I would like my epitaph to be and I said I think I would like it to be 'He did very little harm'. And that's not easy -- most people seem to me to do a great deal of harm. If I could be remembered as having done very little, that would suit me.
