Dave Prowse: Darth Vader actor dies aged 85

He was rightly proud of his UK road safety TV ads, his catchphrase is permanently etched in my memory:

"I won't be there when you cross the road, so always use the green cross code".

There goes my plan of having him do a novelty song with The Wurzels of “I’ve got a brand new Star Destroyer and I’ll give you a ride” in his Somerset accent.
