| Walking past the Rada building in Bloomsbury one summer afternoon a few years ago, my wife and I spotted a jolly reception in progress that looked open to the public. Inside, we saw a smartly dressed Dudley Sutton (Obituary, 17 September) standing alone and looking a little glum. I started to thank him for the pleasure he had given his audience in his role as Tinker the tout in Lovejoy, along with Ian McShane and Phyllis Logan, but he turned tail without a word or a flicker of a smile. I felt embarrassed, but having read in his obituary that he had been dismissed from Rada, maybe his glumness was caused by ambivalent feelings towards this institution. Oh, and we then discovered it wasn’t a public reception, so we quietly left.Peter AylingKirk Ella, East Yorkshire | Walking past the Rada building in Bloomsbury one summer afternoon a few years ago, my wife and I spotted a jolly reception in progress that looked open to the public.
