Richard Vernon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard Vernon (March 7, 1925 – December 4, 1997) was a British actor. He appeared in many feature films and television programmes, often in aristocratic roles (for example as Lord Bartelsham in the Ripping Yarns episode Roger of the Raj and, in a serious mode, as Squire Dale in the BBC radio 4 adaptation of The Small House at Allington).
He is also remembered for his parts as an unnamed man on a train reluctantly sharing a seat with the Beatles in A Hard Day's Night, the planetary designer Slartibartfast (designer of fjords) in the BBC radio and TV series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, as Sir James Greenley ("C") in The Sandbaggers, as Lord Salisbury in Edward the Seventh, as Major Toby Smith-Barton in The Duchess of Duke Street, as the Duke of Broughton in Nanny, as the occasional character Sir Desmond Glazebrook in the TV series Yes Minister and Yes, Prime Minister and his role as Mr Becket in Sammy's Super T-Shirt.
