Others in the band were Tony Banks and the brilliant (IMO) Simon Phillips - on TAMA drums. RIP a great player . NB - some pick up band that !!!

mjmooney Posted July 15, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) Just finished watching the most recent four episodes of the Swedish cop show 'Beck' (incidentally the second thing that springs to mind when I hear the name - after Jeff). The last episode ends, as usual, with a 'comic relief' scene between Martin Beck and his eccentric neighbour (played by Ingvar Hirdwall) - who announces "I'm leaving - for my health", the final shot being Beck looking rather concerned at this news, but then agreeing to join him for a farewell drink. And then, before the credits, a picture of the actor, with the legend "Ingvar Hirdwall (5 December 1934 – 6 April 2023)". I hadn't heard about this, and was quite shocked - he was a classic TV character. He was 88 - but, going by his final line, I wonder if he was ill, and knew he was dying?

Checked what the Swedish media said at the time and the press release says that he died at home and no particular sickness is mentioned. Hirdwall did a lot of great characters in classic Swedish TV-shows before he became the neighbour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That final scene (and the look on Peter Haber's face) becomes all the more poignant in hindsight. I guess he'd planned to leave the series and retire, but it proved to be a short retirement.
