Disley Jones: 1926 – 2005

The Guardian today carries the obituary of Disley Jones, who has died at the age of 79. The obituary is sub-headlined: Theatrical polymath, film production designer, restauranteur, bon vivant and handful. He certainly seems to have been that. A man who was not afraid to take life by the scruff of the neck and shake it. A bit of colour has ebbed out of the world.
