Michael Keating Tribute

Thanks to Sally Knyvette and Gary Russell for sharing their memories of Michael. On the 26th April, 2026 we lost a great actor in Michael Keating. Known primarily for Blake's 7 (where he was the only actor to have appeared in all 52 episodes) others will remember him from Doctor Who or ten years as a recurring character in Eastenders. His legacy will live on - but we want to pay him tribute.
