Tags: Excalibur, Nicol Williamson, The seven- per- cent solution

And it’s goodbye for Nicol Williamson. One of my all- time favourite actors, he blazed a trail on stage and screen and was a great Sherlock Holmes in The Seven- per- Cent Solution and a wonderfully conniving Little John in Robin and Marian (with Sean Connery, Audrey Hepburn and Robert Shaw). After his appearance in John Boorman’s Excalibur though, he simply IS Merlin. They truly don’t make them like this anymore. All together now: “Anaal nathrak, uthvas bethud, do che-ol di-enve“.
