Ahead of the return of BBC crime drama The Responder, Martin Freeman has paid a poignant and emotional tribute to his late co-star Bernard Hill's final role on screen
As BBC drama fans prepare to welcome the return of Martin Freeman in the second series of the nail biting police series The Responder, the Sherlock actor has paid a poignant tribute to his late co-star Bernard Hill following his tragic death earlier this week. Appearing on The One Show to promote the show, hosts Roman Kemp and Alex Jones quizzed the star about what it was like to work with Bernard, who plays Martin’s character Chris’ father in the show.
He then continued: “It was really lovely, I think when he came on set he sort of — he’s from Manchester but he was Liverpool royalty having played Yosser Hughes in Boys from the Blackstuff like forty years ago. He was loved in that city, and for us and the cast and crew, he was a really gentle, kind, sort of playful man with a twinkle in his eye.”
Martin continued: "I loved working with him, it felt like a real —, well now of course it’s his last performance and for us it’s devastating that he’s not here to see it and reap the rewards of what he did. What he did is so good.” Lord of The Rings and Titanic star Bernard sadly passed away on May 5 at the age of 79, prompting thousands of fans, friends and loved ones from around the globe to share their memories of the star and pay their respects to his formidable career.
