I found it interesting to read that Alister encouraged George to lose his cockney accent, yet Alister Sim never lost his Scottish accent, indeed I would find it hard to imagine Sim without his distinct accent. Then again George Cole never really did lose his cockney accent, well in most of his best roles anyway.
Good on 'im I say - stick to what you know

Re: George Cole

George Cole and his mentor Alistair Sim were two of my favorite comedy actors.

Yes, what a shame, but apparently he was 90, so I guess his time was up. RIP.
