An excellent tribute.

This is an extremely touching (and long overdue) account of the tragically short life of a very well-loved British actor. Good looking, natural and very funny, Beckinsale died of a massive heart attack whilst at the peak of his career. His friends' recollections of his short life are particularly moving. Beckinsale's 'Porridge' co-star, Ronnie Barker is visibly moved to tears when he talks about him. Whilst watching the documentary you realise what a great loss he was to British comedy.
