    Actor George Baker, who starred as Chief Inspector Wexford in TV's The Ruth Rendell Mysteries, has died.
    The 80-year-old died of pneumonia on Friday having recently suffered a stroke.
    Although Wexford was probably his most famous role, Baker's repertoire included comedy, drama, soap operas and science fiction over six decades.
    Baker was married three times and leaves five daughters and a number of grandchildren.
    His daughter, Ellie Baker said of her father: "He absolutely loved Wexford and he loved being Wexford... and he loved the whole thing. It was a joy to him."

    RIP

    RIP - I really enjoyed him in the role of Sir Godrey Eagan in the comedy "No Job for a Lady".
